Airport ground safety
Safety infrastructure for aviation ground operations.
ELVIZ sees the aircraft in 3D and warns the tug operator before contact. It fits the equipment you already run, and it is delivered as a service, per unit, per year.
What the operator sees in the cab: the aircraft, and every obstacle around it.

The problem
A ground strike costs far more than the repair.
When a tug touches an aircraft, the dent is the cheap part. The aircraft comes out of service, flights are cancelled, crews time out and passengers are rebooked.
Most of these events happen at walking pace, on tight stands, with a skilled operator judging clearances they cannot fully see.
What ELVIZ does
A second set of eyes for the person on the tug.
ELVIZ is a LiDAR perception system mounted on pushback tugs and ground equipment. It watches the aircraft and everything around it for the whole movement, so the operator can focus on driving.
Sees in 3D
Dual LiDAR builds a live model of the aircraft, the stand and nearby equipment.
Warns before contact
The operator gets a warning in the cab as the gap to the aircraft closes.
Fits what you run
Retrofits to the tugs already in your fleet. Nothing to build into the airport.
Records every movement
Each movement is logged, so an event can be reviewed after the fact.
Who it is for
Built for the teams who own the risk.
Airlines
You carry the cost of a damaged aircraft, whoever was driving. ELVIZ protects the fleet at the stations you choose.
Airports
Set the safety standard on your apron, for every operator who works on it.
Ground handlers
One safety standard across every station and every carrier you serve.
Business aviation and MRO
Hangar and ramp towing for business jets and maintenance, where the clearances are tightest.
Defense and government
Flight-line towing, where an aircraft out of service is a gap in readiness.
Where it runs
Built for the hardest gates. Running at them today.
Measured on our customers' criteria, not ours.
Major US airline
Running at two hubs, including some of the most complex gates in the network.
European hub airport
Passed the airport's safety assessment for apron operations.
Global ground handler
Technology partner in the handler's next-generation US station.
U.S. Air Force
Tested during aircraft towing on an operational flight line.

The person on the tug is the last line of defense for a very expensive aircraft. We built ELVIZ for them.
Safety infrastructure as a service
Bought like safety equipment. Delivered as a service.
One price per unit, per year. It covers the hardware, the software, installation, remote monitoring, support and software updates.
Prefer to own the hardware? We also offer it with a multi-year service agreement.
A first set of units goes live in about a week. Our engineers install and calibrate on site, then train your trainers.
Company
Engineered in Hamburg. Built for ramps everywhere.
We started in the US and Europe, where our first customers fly. ELVIZ needs no airport infrastructure and fits the tugs already on the ramp, so it goes wherever our customers' networks go.
The same system protects airline fleets and military flight lines. Civil and defense customers run one product, built to one standard.
Evitado is a team of engineers and aviation operators building safety infrastructure for airport ground operations. We are backed by aviation and deep-tech investors, including an international airline group.
We work on the ramp with the people who use our system, and we stay until it works the way they need it to.
