Bosch has expanded its connected vehicle services by integrating Road Surface Alerts from NIRA Dynamics to provide drivers with more precise and timely information about road conditions.
Bosch’s connected services aim to assist drivers by delivering real-time insights into traffic, weather and hazards along the route. With the integration of its Road Surface Alerts, its services are enhanced with high-resolution warnings about slipperiness, aquaplaning risks, potholes and other sudden road hazards, which enables drivers to anticipate potential dangers earlier and adapt their driving accordingly.
The Road Surface Alerts are based on anonymized data collected from millions of vehicles. By continuously analyzing the interaction between tires and road surfaces, the system identifies critical changes in grip and roughness. This information is processed in real time and made available through Bosch’s connected services, ensuring drivers benefit from a more complete picture of the road ahead.
The enhanced services will be available in Europe and North America first.
