Barcelona
Semi-fixed Solution
Focused on motorcycle monitoring and enforcing the 2024 Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. Updates municipal ordinances to systematically remove the most polluting vehicles from circulation.
Cleaner air, quieter streets — by design
Precision remote sensing
for a cleaner, quieter Europe.
DAVER targets the 2% of vehicles causing 40% of urban pollution. Industrial-grade remote sensing identifies high-polluting vehicles in real-world traffic — keeping the air clean without stopping the flow of the city.

The high-emitter problem
A tiny fraction of vehicles
causes most of the harm.
Across Europe, traditional testing doesn't catch them, but the public pays the price.
The 2% Rule
Just 2% of vehicles generate 40% of road pollution.
The Health Toll
Traffic emissions contribute to 300,000 premature deaths in the EU every year.
The Policy Gap
Blanket bans penalise compliant drivers while defeat devices and faulty exhausts go undetected by static tests.
What is remote sensing?
Think of it as a speed camera for pollution.
Just as a speed camera identifies a single driver breaking the limit without stopping the rest of the traffic, DAVER's sensors scan the exhaust plumes and noise levels of vehicles as they drive past at normal speeds.
- Measures NOx, CO, HC, PM and NH3 in real-world traffic
- No stops, no slowdowns — vehicles never have to pull over
- Pairs with a web platform that issues real-time high-emitter alerts

How DAVER solves it
Replacing broad bans with data-driven fairness.
A cost-effective, plug-and-play solution that helps cities meet the European Commission's upcoming 2025 Roadworthiness Package and enforce Low Emission Zones with precision.
01
Target true polluters
24/7 autonomous Remote Sensing Devices measure real-world emissions and noise in normal traffic flow — without ever forcing vehicles to stop.
02
Synchronized technology
DAVER is the first system in the world to unify spectroscopic gas sensing, directional acoustic cameras and artificial vision into one cohesive, automated platform.
03
Real-time enforcement
A secure web platform processes data instantly to generate high-emitter alerts, create blacklists, and integrate directly with police IT systems and vehicle registries.
