Photos from Univrses’ international dinner party 2022 🌟
Having 24 different nationalities in your team has many privileges, and here’s one of them. On Friday, team members from all over the world brought food specialties to share from their country’s cuisine. During the evening, we got to taste German Brotzeit, Iranian Ghorme Sabzi, Dutch Appelflap, Portuguese Pastel de nata – and much more.

#SCEWC22 visitor! 👋🏼 Make sure to make it to the NVIDIA booth/Dell Technologies stand at 10:30 TODAY to listen to a fruitful conversation about women in AI 🎉
Johanna Thorn and Geertje de Lange from Univrses will participate in the panel discussion that will be moderated by Personal Cities CEO/SmartCitiesWorld Brand Ambassador Sandra Baer and joined by Ruthbea Yesner and Jen Sanders.
- Did you know that only 22% of the world’s AI professionals are women?
- Did you know that 300 million fewer women than men, worldwide, have access to the internet via a mobile phone?
Tech gender divide and inequality affects women all over the world, and it also puts a giant spanner in the works within AI research and development. Come to the panel discussion to learn more about this!

Last week, we carried out a unique positioning test in beautiful Åndalsnes, Norway 🇳🇴 Together with The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens Vegvesen), we were testing the robustness of our 3DAI™ City system in particularly challenging environments.
In tunnels and mountainous areas, GNSS signals are often corrupted or even completely absent. The objective of this test was to evaluate the custom vehicle positioning technology incorporated into 3DAI™ City in these areas.
The test was a fantastic success. We demonstrated how, using consumer-grade hardware, Univrses' algorithms can accurately position a vehicle even in many of the challenging scenarios encountered during the test. We also learnt about Vegvesen's requirements and have many avenues for further development. Exciting times lie ahead and we look forward to sharing more about this soon!

Sollentuna Kommun just got their first ever 3DAI™ City deployment! 🎉
Univrses’ Geertje de Lange was assisted by Johanna Eriksson, Staffan Svensson and Marcus Dahl from VR Sverige in mounting our AI system into several local buses. As these buses carry out their everyday services in Sollentuna kommun, live reports on road conditions will be made instantly accessible to Sollentuna kommun and Johanna and her colleagues. The impact:
- Road maintenance measures can be deployed where and when they are needed
- The need for manual road inspections is reduced
- Time and money can be saved and CO2 emissions can be reduced 🌱
- Sollentuna’s roads will get safer
A huge thank you to our friends at Sollentuna kommun and the public transport company VR Sverige! We look forward to sharing more news about this exciting deployment as we progress.

Lund joins the new era of urban data-gathering!
During the Autumn, Univrses’ AI software, 3DAI™ City, will be mounted in the windshields of several vehicles that are operating in and around the municipality. Every meter travelled will result in a constant stream of anonymized real time data about the city and its roads.
The live data is instantly made accessible to Lund’s operating engineers, which enables them to make data-driven decisions and to deploy resources when needed. This has several huge benefits:
1) Road maintenance becomes more efficient and costs less.
2) Lund’s citizens are safer as their roads can be maintained immediately.
3) CO2 emissions can be reduced as fewer manual road inspections are needed.
We look forward to sharing more about our collaboration with The City of Lund (@lundskommun) and Infracontrol soon!

Hello from Eslöv! 👋🏼
As of last week, 3DAI™ City is up, running and collecting live road data in the southern Swedish city. Johanna and Geertje went to handle the deployment of our AI system in two electrical @transdevsverige buses that are now operating in Eslöv. The first data is already accessible for the municipality, making the task of improving Eslöv’s roads more efficient, cheaper and more sustainable.
Thanks to our great friends at Transdev for expanding our collaboration. Thanks also to our new friends at @eslovs_kommun!

Earlier this week, Sergio, Maheen and Alessandro represented Univrses at SURF2022 global symposium, in Milan, Italy.
The purpose of their visit was to present our latest research on road damage. The research - conducted by Sergio, Rafael and Amit - demonstrates how data captured using 3DAI™ City can deliver never-before-seen insights into road management. For the first time, road damage from a diverse range of geographies can be objectively compared at scale. This enables different cities to compare themselves with their peers - to study the effects of different maintenance methods, processes and investment and to learn from each other - all for the benefit of their citizens.
3DAI™ City has enabled a paradigm shift in terms of data quality, update frequency and cost. The research presented at SURF harnesses the power of this technological leap forward and is an important contribution to global road management in general. We are very grateful for the positive response we have received after the presentation, and honoured that our work was accepted at the world-renowned SURF conference!

We are very happy to be returning to the Drive Sweden Forum in Gothenburg, on September 8th!
Besides experiencing a melting pot of Swedish innovation, visitors at the event will also be able to enjoy a 3DAI™ City data-acquisition demonstration. If you are visiting the Drive Sweden Forum; make sure to stop by Univrses’ stand to watch how our data-harvesting car, that will be operating on the streets of Gothenburg, registers live road data directly in our dashboard.
Thanks to Drive Sweden, Vinnova, Energimyndigheten and FORMAS for once again rallying Swedish businesses, academia and public sector under one innovative roof.

The European tech ecosystem is flourishing and we love being in the midst of it. As the continent’s two most innovative nations rally their tech frontrunners for a roundtable, we are proud that Univrses is amongst the companies selected.
Our CEO Jonathan Selbie will travel to Zürich to participate in the event that is arranged by @the Embassy of Sweden Bern, Innosuisse and Vinnova. During his stay, Jonathan will talk to academia, corporations and other Swiss and Swedish innovators. He will offer insights into how the European tech mobilization can succeed, and what conditions are needed to foster innovation on the continent.
Thanks for the invitation and special thanks to ETH Zürich and the University of Zürich for making this roundtable possible!

Our new research paper has been accepted at SURF 2022! SURF is a leading global Symposium with the main objective of improving the quality of pavement surface characteristics and - by extension - pave the way (!) for a new generation of mobility needs.
The research team, consisting of Sergio Caccamo, Rafael Mrden and Amit Dekel, investigated how
the choice of vehicle influences a data harvesting effort. They did this by comparing large numbers of harvested road damage data and coverage patterns from a variety of fleets, in a variety of European cities. Their results will be presented at SURF, in Milan, Italy, on September 13th, at 11:30 - 13:30.
The full paper, “Analysis of Road Damage with Computer Vision Based Drive-By system”, will be published later in the fall. Stay tuned!

Ha en fantastisk Midsommar! ☀️🌸🌱🍓
Univrses’ first ever soapbox car race was dramatic until the end. All participating teams fought well and managed to build fully functional, very non-autonomous and non-data harvesting racing vehicles on short notice. It is still debatable whether all teams had read the same rule book, but we’re not here to point fingers...
