With the 5G-RoadMonitoring project, a partnership of four Belgian partners (Be-Mobile, XenomatiX, ASAsense and Citymesh) combine cutting-edge sensors with 5G connectivity to understand road conditions and detect traffic signs in real-time, turning that data into smarter, continuously updated maps and safety alerts.
The project aims to:
- Detect potential road damage through cost-effective screenings.
- Perform in-depth inspections using optical and vibro-acoustic sensors, streamed in real-time over 5G.
- Detect traffic signs from camera footage and use that information to update our digital maps and Be-Mobile's European road safety platform Be-Warned.
In doing so, we contribute to map learning and road safety data, ensuring that our maps and safety warnings stay accurate, up-to-date, and reflective of real-world changes.

Simone is a Mobility Consultant at Movares. With sustainable innovations, our engineers and consultants help shape the world of today and tomorrow. The world faces major social and spatial challenges such as climate change, urbanisation, and the energy transition. These issues demand a smarter, faster and more sustainable approach. “We see cycling as a key link in building sustainable, healthy cities.” 
Simone has deep expertise in bicycle parking—an essential part of active mobility. “Combining public transport with bike parking enables seamless door-to-door travel. The bike-train combination can even double or triple a journey’s reach!” The growing number of parked bikes can impact public space, especially around transport hubs and in dense urban areas. Effective bike parking strategies must meet cyclist needs and fit the local context. Simone enjoys developing these strategies and designing facilities, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
