INTRO - Intelligent roads. Deliverable D5.3 : A vision of intelligent roads Cocu, Xavier et al ; Sjögren, Leif

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Bryssel FEHRL, 2007Edition: version 1.0Description: 110 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The INTRO project aims at demonstrating how safety, capacity, road operation and maintenance problems can be alleviated by the use of existing and future sensor, communication and processing technologies in a harmonised way, to create and add intelligence to road networks. Within this R&D activity a specific task was to develop a consolidated overview of the visions of the future with respect to use of the road transport systems and with specific relevance to Intelligent Roads. In this framework a comprehensive list of relevant references was first consulted to provide an overview of the existing trends, visions of the future of road transport systems (INTRO D5.3 - Chapter 2); this analysis shows how some major drivers for change could transform the road transport system and what potential developments are likely to happen within the next 30 years. Following their own experience and research carried out within the on-going project, the INTRO experts propose (INTRO D5.3 - Chapter 3) a set of more oriented scenarios and visions relating to Surface Safety Monitoring, to interaction between Intelligent Pavements and Intelligent Vehicles and to Traffic and Safety Monitoring. Finally (as discussed in INTRO D5.3 - Chapter 4), technologies emerging from a variety of fields could also greatly influence how the future intelligent road will look like and operate. The INTRO partners worked together on this broad information to present their own vision of the future intelligent road. A concrete scenario is proposed and supports different vision facets that are developed to fit with various road types and conditions encountered in Europe (INTRO D5.3 - Chapter 5).
