How does the vorteX-io station network work?

vorteX-io stations are installed on bridges over rivers to measure water level and other parameters such as surface velocity.

How are notification thresholds defined?

You can configure your own personalized thresholds on vorteX-io, based on risk levels specific to your territory or activity.

What other types of data are collected by the service?

VorteX-io monitors parameters such as water level, flow and river images in real time. Our research and development activities are progressively integrating new measurements such as surface temperature and turbidity.

In addition, data consistency checking algorithms perform intelligent post-processing of measurements.

Are notifications customizable?

Yes, you can customize the way you receive notifications (by e-mail, SMS, voice call) and the thresholds that trigger these alerts.

How accurate are the stations?

Sensors at the stations measure river height to the nearest centimetre, between one and four times an hour.
