Hodos Media
Applied transport and mobility R&D
We develop and deliver practical research and development projects across road monitoring, driver training, fleet operations and tyre condition. Our work turns defined transport problems into evidence, prototypes, trials and implementation plans.
Applied research with a route forward
Hodos Media works with public funders, commissioners, technology partners and operational users to reduce technical uncertainty and advance transport innovations through structured stages. Each project addresses a defined question, maturity level or deployment context. The resulting requirements, methods, software, prototypes, evidence and intellectual property are retained where appropriate to support later work.
Our programmes
SAHEL
Road condition monitoring for networks where conventional surveys are costly, infrequent or constrained by weak terrestrial connectivity.
TaaSchen
Telematics, video and structured review methods that support instructor-led driver training and competency development.
TyreGates
Fixed-site sensing and analysis for identifying tyre-condition signals as vehicles pass through controlled locations.
How we work
Define the problem
Work begins with an operational need, evidence gap or technical uncertainty.
Build the evidence
We gather user needs, requirements, technical evidence and market context.
Develop and test
Concepts progress through feasibility, architecture, prototypes and trials appropriate to their maturity.
Plan the next stage
Each project closes with clear findings, limitations and a route for further development or deployment.
Representative projects
SatComBox
ESA feasibility study on satellite-enabled road condition monitoring for low-connectivity environments.
TyreGates
Department for Transport feasibility work on fixed-site optical and thermal sensing for tyre condition.
FleetSkillAI
AI-supported driver training using telematics, video and structured instructor review.
FAIDA
Proof-of-concept work linking telematics events with relevant dashcam footage for training review.
SAHEL Feasibility Study
International market feasibility work for road monitoring in Zambia and wider LMIC settings.
OurEO
Feasibility study on remote sensing approaches for road management in developing-country contexts.
A connected view of transport
Hodos Media treats transport as a connected system. Road condition affects vehicles and tyres; driver and vehicle behaviour affect safety, wear and operating cost; and data and communications provide the evidence needed for assessment and decisions. Individual projects may focus on one element, but are designed with the wider operating system in view.
