Considering the concern of the European community about traffic safety in terms of road deaths and injuries, a major role is given to the phenomenon of aquaplaning, which consists of a loss of traction caused by a layer of water accumulated between the vehicle wheels and the road surface. Facing this issue, different OEMs and private companies are developing vehicle sensors and add-ins to reach the ambitious goal of zero road deaths by 2050 imposed by the European Community: considering this scenario, the EasyRain company has stood out from all the others. EasyRain has developed an innovative effect-based virtual sensor able to detect whether or not the occurrence of aquaplaning is affecting vehicle stability: this is the Digital Aquaplaning Information (DAI) sensor.
