A road-mounted sensing network that presents vehicle detection, speed, classification, and environmental signals through hardware, LoRaWAN, cloud services, and developer APIs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

Motsense describes a sensing chain that begins with wheel-load vibration in the pavement and ends with normalized traffic events available through REST, streams, webhooks, or MQTT. Its example API response includes direction, speed, vehicle class, confidence, and vibration energy, while the integration diagram names WisGate and LoRaWAN gateways. The page also displays an average latency of 42 ms and coverage of 18 US and EU regions, though those figures are presented as site claims.
