1
00:00:03.486 --> 00:00:06.473
Svevia are specialists.

2
00:00:06.473 --> 00:00:09.926
We are the best at roads and highway maintenance.

3
00:00:11.144 --> 00:00:16.599
By leading innovation, we help drive the development of the highway sector.

4
00:00:18.234 --> 00:00:25.191
One example of this is the world-first innovation called Dynamic Forecast Controlled Winter Road Maintenance.

5
00:00:28.011 --> 00:00:37.220
It works like this: Road weather stations transmit data about, for example, precipitation, traffic flows and humidity.

6
00:00:38.455 --> 00:00:44.644
Connected vehicles send GPS-positioned data about road surface friction.

7
00:00:46.146 --> 00:00:54.938
Road sensors send data about the road surface's temperature, moisture levels, residual salt content and water freezing point.

8
00:00:55.872 --> 00:01:05.065
This information is all compiled and advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence create road surface forecasts.

9
00:01:05.715 --> 00:01:12.555
The forecasts help winter maintenance personnel decide what actions to take and which resources to utilise,

10
00:01:12.555 --> 00:01:17.577
and ploughing schedules can be adjusted to match the actual needs.

11
00:01:18.111 --> 00:01:24.584
The amount of salt spread on the roads for de-icing purposes is also optimised and managed based on the forecasts.

12
00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:30.573
This system allows resources for winter road maintenance to be optimised.

13
00:01:31.174 --> 00:01:35.879
The actions that are deployed are thereby dynamically adapted to the actual needs.

14
00:01:37.814 --> 00:01:48.541
The precision makes the work more accurate and cost-effective, while also improving road safety and reducing the environmental impact.

15
00:01:50.477 --> 00:01:54.564
It also reduces stress for people working on the roads.

16
00:01:55.565 --> 00:01:59.119
They are given a better working environment,

17
00:01:59.569 --> 00:02:05.408
due to the use of automated salt spreaders and decision-making support in the form of tailored, dynamic routing.

18
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:10.246
Svevia are road specialists.

19
00:02:10.296 --> 00:02:13.983
We drive the development of a sustainable highways sector.

20
00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:17.287
Sometimes by implementing innovations.
