Highway corridor patrol
Continuous patrol of assigned road segments. Stopped-vehicle, debris, and incident detection across the network.
Faster incident response.
Safer corridors.
Highway corridors stretch hundreds of kilometers. Automatic crash response. Bridge surveys compress from biennial to weekly.
Auto-launch on crash alerts. Bridge surveys at the cadence defects emerge. Corridor coverage at scale. EU RISM 2008/96 aligned.

APPROACH
BVLOS corridor coverage. Auto-launch on crash. Weekly bridge surveys.
Aerion deploys autonomous monitoring nodes at strategic locations along transport corridors. The same node infrastructure handles incident response, construction monitoring, bridge inspections, traffic surveillance, and weather damage assessment. It covers extensive corridor distances continuously. Drones launch automatically on crash alerts, providing live video within minutes for right-sized emergency response. Bridge inspection cycles compress from biennial manual surveys to weekly automated surveys, detecting defects months earlier.
MISSION CATALOG
Seven recurring missions across state, regional, and toll networks.
Bridge close inspection
Underside, deck, and bearing close-up of every bridge and overpass on the network. Spalling and bearing wear trended.
Incident reconstruction
Photogrammetric scene capture for collision analysis. Lane-reopening accelerated; evidence-quality 3D record retained.
Roadside asset condition
Visual + LiDAR sweep of carriageway, signage, guardrails, lighting columns, and drainage. Defect density mapped per segment and trended.
Toll & weighbridge yard
Continuous coverage of toll plazas, weighbridges, and freight inspection yards without crew mobilization.
Construction-zone progress
Active works-zone progress capture, exclusion-zone integrity, and traffic-management compliance documentation.
Right-of-way encroachment
Unauthorized dumping, illegal structures, and vegetation intrusion along the corridor reserve. Boundary breaches mapped and ticketed for enforcement.
DEPLOYMENT TIER
Two ways to subscribe.
Shared
Network service
For corridor segments within 10km of an Aerion node. Multi-customer node infrastructure. Standard pavement, bridge, and signage cadence. Faster onboarding.
Dedicated
Private network
Dedicated node for high-volume corridors requiring incident-triggered launch, daily bridge cycles, and continuous ROW monitoring. 8-12 week deployment.
WHAT WE DETECT
Continuous detection across the operational envelope. Findings flagged in your dashboard with audit-grade evidence trails.
DETECTION · 01
Stopped-vehicle detector
Vehicle stationary in the running lane or hard-shoulder. Real-time alert with thumbnail and last-known position.
DETECTION · 02
Wrong-way driver alert
Vehicle moving against traffic flow on motorway and expressway sections. Immediate dispatch trigger.
DETECTION · 03
Pavement-defect grader
Crack, rut, pothole, and edge-failure detection above severity threshold. Per-segment condition trended.
DETECTION · 04
Bridge-spalling spotter
Concrete spalling, exposed rebar, and corrosion staining on bridge soffit, abutment, and bearing elements.
DETECTION · 05
Traffic-density analyser
Volume, speed, and queue length across assigned segments, with no traffic-management closure required.
DETECTION · 06
Pedestrian-on-roadway AI
Person classification inside the carriageway. Real-time alert to traffic operations centre.
DETECTION · 07
Incident reconstruction
Photogrammetric scene capture for collision analysis. Lane reopening accelerated; evidence-quality 3D record retained.
DETECTION · 08
Weather-damage assessor
Storm and flood damage mapped across the network within hours. Crew dispatch prioritised by severity.

REGULATORY EDGE
Operating from inside the EU's only U-space sandbox.
Tartu, Estonia operates the EU's only fully-operational U-space regulatory sandbox. Aerion operates inside this framework. It compresses BVLOS approval cycles that take 12-24 months elsewhere in Europe to weeks for our customers.
