Technology

An infrastructure stack for the road surface.

Motsense is built as four coordinated layers — sensing, edge processing, wireless connectivity, and cloud — engineered together so a physical event becomes structured data in seconds.

  1. 01
    physical event
    Vehicle
    A car, truck, motorcycle, or bus travels over the road.
  2. 02
    vibration signal
    Road Surface
    Wheel loads generate a distinct mechanical signature in the pavement.
  3. 03
    capture
    Motsense Sensor
    A road-mounted device captures the vibration in real time.
  4. 04
    on-device
    Edge Processing
    On-device signal processing extracts detection, speed, and class.
  5. 05
    wireless uplink
    LoRaWAN
    Compact packets transmit over long-range low-power radio.
  6. 06
    ingest + enrich
    Motsense Cloud
    Events are enriched, normalized, and made queryable.
  7. 07
    consume
    API / Dashboard
    Available as REST, streams, or a live operational dashboard.
The Stack

Four layers, one platform.

layer 1

Sensing

Wide-band mechanical signal capture at the road surface — designed to isolate vehicle events from environmental noise.

layer 2

Edge Processing

On-device signal processing extracts vehicle events, speed estimates, and classification features locally.

layer 3

LoRaWAN

Compact packets transmit over long-range, low-power radio to WisGate gateways — resilient across the corridor.

layer 4

Cloud

Ingest, enrich, and normalize events into a queryable stream. Serve REST, webhook, and MQTT surfaces.

Architecture

Designed to be integrated.

Motsense fits into modern data stacks — a Postgres-backed core, streaming buses, and API surfaces that behave like any other production service.
