Our technology will reduce the fuel consumption (~20%) and equipment wear (~5%) associated with winter road maintenance while increasing the safety and efficiency of roads compared to conventional monitoring techniques. By allowing our clients to reliably monitor and forecast road surface conditions, RSI will revolutionise the winter road maintenance market by increase safety and reducing operating costs.
