Real-world mobility evidence
Boreal helps researchers, cities and mobility innovators understand how people, vehicles and infrastructure interact in real conditions.
With Urbometry, complex street interactions become structured evidence for research, evaluation and validation.
Boreal Holoscene platform
Why Boreal
New vehicles, services and infrastructure are entering increasingly complex public spaces. Questions about safety, behaviour and performance need evidence from the conditions in which change occurs.
Boreal measures mobility from within the moving environment. It captures how road users interact with one another and with the infrastructure around them—then makes those interactions available for analysis.
Applications
Whether the decision concerns a street, a service or a vehicle, the measurement approach follows what you need to understand.
Understand what road users experience and do.
Study how cyclists and other road users respond to vehicles, infrastructure and changing traffic conditions.
Measure what changes when mobility changes.
Establish a baseline, introduce a change, measure again, and compare observed conditions using real-world evidence.
Demonstrate performance in real operating conditions.
Compare a new concept with an existing reference and examine how real-world operation differs.
A different point of view
Traditional traffic sensing usually observes a location. Vehicle telemetry usually observes a vehicle. Urbometry observes the evolving interaction around the moving road user.

Urbometry
Urbometry connects field measurement, synchronized data and interaction reconstruction into one evidence workflow.
Urbometry
Drawing on Boreal’s Holoscene platform, field measurement combines complementary sensing, positioning and motion data. The result is a shared, time-aligned view of the road-user environment.
Project stories
Selected projects from Boreal’s public work show how a sensor-rich active-mobility perspective supports research, validation and safer streets.

Method
Many mobility questions become clearer when they are structured around a reference.
Understand existing conditions.
A vehicle, service, infrastructure design or operational concept.
Capture comparable real-world conditions.
Identify how behaviour, interactions and operating conditions changed.
