The total weather-related delays in just the 2015 \u2013 2024 period are equivalent to losing between one and three full years of EU rail service. The cost in infrastructure damage is significant: Belgium&#8217;s 2021 floods caused around \u20ac65 million in rail damage, Germany&#8217;s \u20ac1.4 billion, and Spain&#8217;s 2024 floods led to \u20ac212 million in emergency repair works.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For roads, the outlook is equally serious.

The EU&#8217;s first-ever European Climate Risk Assessment, also published in 2024, identified 36 major climate risks, of which 34 could reach critical or catastrophic levels under high warming scenarios.

It&#8217;s a unified back-office platform for roadside ITS equipment, connecting sensors of different types and manufacturers into one system. For managing extreme weather, several features are particularly relevant.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One view of the whole network. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When a flood event hits, a traffic manager needs to see road conditions, camera feeds, VMS status, and traffic flow across all affected locations \u2013 without switching between four different systems. Fits Hub&#8217;s map-based interface and real-time alarm notifications make that possible.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Automatic fault detection. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During extreme weather, equipment is under maximum stress. A weather station that stops reporting, a sign that fails to update, a camera that drops its connection \u2013 any of these can leave a section of road effectively invisible to the control room. Fits Hub detects faults automatically and flags them for faster repair. In Latvia, where Fits Hub monitors over 200 roadside sensors nationally, faster fault response translated directly into improved road safety.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Automated sign management. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fits Hub can trigger pre-set message sequences automatically based on sensor data. A weather station that detects ice can immediately activate warning signs upstream \u2013 before a human operator has had a chance to review the data. When events unfold faster than people can respond manually, this automation matters.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Computer vision from existing cameras. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fits Vision adds AI-driven analysis to camera networks already in place. It can detect stopped vehicles, queuing traffic, or wrong-way driving automatically \u2013 without an operator watching every feed. When a road floods and traffic stops suddenly, the system picks up the pattern and sends alerts. It also monitors road surface condition, flagging damage that heat or floods have caused before it becomes dangerous.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cross-border data exchange. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fits Hub supports the Datex II standard \u2013 the European protocol for sharing traffic data between management centres. Extreme weather doesn&#8217;t stop at national borders. The SMART E67 project, where Fits Hub connected ITS infrastructure across Latvia and Estonia, put this into practice: when conditions change on one side of a border, management centres on both sides see it in real time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:400}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What the Numbers Show\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Latvia&#8217;s national ITS deployment gives a concrete picture of what integrated management delivers. Before Fits Hub, data from roadside equipment was collected manually from separate systems \u2013 slow, fragmented, and prone to gaps. After deployment, road cameras, traffic lights, weather stations, variable message signs, and traffic counters all fed into one system, monitored around the clock.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For a country where winter storms, ice, and spring flooding are routine, the operational impact was real: faster fault response, fewer data gaps, and lower overall operating costs. The unified system meant that when something went wrong \u2013 a sensor failing, a sign going offline \u2013 it was caught and fixed faster.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Via Baltica E67 corridor project took the same approach across two countries. The results: average driving times on the corridor fell by just over 2 minutes per vehicle, adding up to 192,000 hours saved per year. The project&#8217;s benefit-cost ratio of 4.4 \u2013 measured against the ROSEBUD WPS scale \u2013 shows that the investment in integrated ITS management pays off in normal operations, not just during emergencies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:400}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Tolerance vs Resilience\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Roads have always been designed to handle weather \u2013 standard drainage, normal temperature ranges, expected wind loads.

Resilience means accepting that conditions will sometimes exceed what the infrastructure was built for \u2013 and asking: when that happens, how fast can the system detect it? How quickly does a warning reach drivers? How long before a failed sensor is caught and replaced?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These aren&#8217;t engineering questions.
