FinEst Centre Pilot Programme

Smarter cities, mobile by design

TayuTech equips buses, waste trucks and municipal fleets with modular AI-powered sensors — turning everyday routes into a living map of air quality, road safety and infrastructure health.

The Challenge

Fixed sensors leave gaps. Mobile sensing fills them.

Uneven coverage

Traditional networks are expensive to install and maintain, leaving some districts over-monitored while others stay invisible.

Integration friction

Static systems often produce inconsistent formats and siloed datasets that are hard to share across departments.

Slow insight

Manual inspections and delayed reporting mean cities react to problems instead of preventing them.

The Solution

A modular sensing platform built for real streets

Each TayuTech unit mounts on vehicles already serving your city. Cameras, air quality monitors and environmental sensors can be swapped to match local priorities — no new fleet required.

  1. Collect Sensors capture signs, air, noise and road surface data along daily routes.
  2. Process Edge AI filters and structures data onboard before secure transmission.
  3. Act The TayuTech Portal turns insights into maps, alerts and maintenance workflows.

Key Benefits

Outcomes cities can measure

Safer streets

Detect damaged or missing traffic signs and hazardous road conditions before incidents occur.

Healthier air

Track air quality and allergen levels block-by-block to inform public health strategies.

Predictive maintenance

Map potholes and surface defects early — fix infrastructure proactively, not reactively.

Lower cost

Reuse existing municipal vehicles instead of deploying thousands of fixed sensor poles.

Pilot Cities

Three cities, three real-world use cases

Tallinn, Dublin and Pula are testing TayuTech in live traffic with research partners from TalTech, DCU and CONNECT.

Dublin Ireland

Air quality & allergens

Hyperlocal environmental monitoring across Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Fingal for healthier urban policy.

Pula Croatia

Road surface mapping

Identify defects and prioritize repairs for smoother rides and smarter maintenance budgets.

TayuTech Portal

One dashboard for planners, researchers and partners

Visualize sensor streams on interactive maps, compare districts over time, and export datasets for research — all from a secure web platform designed for municipal teams.

  • Real-time and historical views
  • Role-based access for stakeholders
  • Cross-city comparison during the pilot
