The winter season in Slovakia complicates the traffic flow on the roads every year. Deteriorated road conditions have been resolved with reactive road maintenance so far, which was expensive and unsustainable in the long term. Searching an effective solution, we teamed up with the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ) and developed low-cost IoT weather stations, thanks to which we are able to collect more detailed data and thus more accurately predict the need for road maintenance. Microsoft Azure technology plays a big role in this success, thanks to which we can store data in the cloud and evaluate it in detail.
