Kerbside sensing and solar-powered warning devices for retrofits where trenching is not an option and the road has to stay open.
Most smart-road projects fail on installation, not on technology. A crossing needs power, a signal needs a duct, and neither exists at the kerb. Digging means permits, lane closures and a budget line that was never approved.
The second problem is maintenance. A device that needs a site visit every quarter will be abandoned within two years. Whatever goes on the pole has to run unattended and report its own health.
We start from what is already at the kerb — a pole, a bollard, a kerbstone — and put the sensing and the power there. Solar panels and battery packs sized for a week of low irradiance remove the trench entirely.
Detection happens on the device. A crossing detection unit reports an event, not a video stream, so the installation works over a 4G SIM with a data plan measured in megabytes per month.
A drawing, a photo of the location and the outcome you are measured on is enough for a first technical route.
