BoatSense

Waterway Monitoring in the IoT Age

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is making a mark in traffic and transport monitoring. Mobility Sensing is leading the way by developing, deploying and operating new generation IoT sensor networks. Our sensor networks are based on compact, autonomous, low-power IoT sensor pods, that are easy to install and budget friendly to operate. This allows us to deploy and operate high resolution sensor networks, producing live, rich data on the state and usage of your complete waterway network.

One Device,
Multiple Applications

BoatSense provides you with a complete picture of all vessel traffic on your waterway. Every passing vessel is reported immediately with:

  • Vessel length
  • Vessel speed
  • Sailing direction

Use the BoatSense data to:

  • Reliably count passing vessels
  • Optimise moveable bridge and lock operations

 

The live and historic data is conveniently presented in a secure web dashboard in lists, charts and maps. You can filter and export all the data for further analysis. Live data can be ingested into other information systems using the BoatSense API.
