apulia Region to Pilot Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre for Advanced Road Monitoring
Updated June 13, 2025
The Apulia region of Italy is set to launch a pilot program in July, utilizing Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre technology to monitor road conditions. This initiative integrates real-time data from sensor-equipped tires with visual analytics from onboard cameras, aiming to revolutionize road maintenance and enhance public safety.
Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre features embedded sensors that track metrics such as temperature and pressure, communicating with the vehicle’s systems via Bluetooth. These durable sensors, powered by long-lasting batteries, withstand forces exceeding 3,500 G. Algorithms analyze road surface roughness,pinpointing areas needing repair.
Cameras from Univrses, a Swedish tech firm, will monitor road surfaces and signage. The data aggregates in the cloud, accessible to regional authorities. Ayvens, a vehicle rental company, will supply a dedicated fleet of cars for the pilot, ensuring consistent, high-quality data without privacy concerns.
Michele Emiliano, president of the Apulia region, emphasized the life-saving potential of the technology. ”Technology can save lives,” Emiliano said. “In this case,it will be useful as a thermometer of the state of health of our roads.”
