Basket - Waste

The ideas in the Basket "Waste" have been discarded during the sessions for whatever reason (possibly to be studied later), i.e. left- overs, controversial ones:

  • In-Vehicle Information: about speed, road conditions and traffic situation combined information from maintenance activities with road weather information;
  • Animals on road: fasten device that can be shot on moose, showing their location (GPS-GALILEO) + central data analysis and delivery;
  • Mapping of risky road stretches;
  • Weather wikipedia – weatherwiki for roadweather; road weather data;
  • Dynamic driving trip services;
  • eCall and airport weather observations.

Ideas Presented 

  • Cars will be equipped with warning light (e.g. in the rear window) if car observers or receives a message of dangerous condition or accident;

  • Use Bayesian method to dynamically update location specific data, and to dynamically update location specific data fusion on a route service; 
  • Multiple services info to public transport cars;
  • Why contact friction data? A key issue is the human factor to use this information;

  • Friction plus weather data is valuable for pre-planning, especially for heavy vehicles, pedestrians, cycles and motorcycles;
  • Dynamic on-route information is equally valuable;
  • In-vehicle data collection can be improved by between vehicle information exchanges plus external info;

  • Using external information to directly control vehicle has attractions but major human factor issues are to be addressed;

  • Mapping of risky road stretches: position and velocity of vehicles are recorded; the data could be used to detect parts of the road network or situation, where the driver has braked hard. At these locations, the road might have to be rebuilt to increase safety.
  • Ecall;
  • Airport weather observations;
  • Meteo information, satellite data & images: (primary images of high resolution? EUMETSAT), price & will to sell;
  • Weather data – actual get the local authorities involved, e.g. police, fire dept, town halls, why: they are there in every moment, it is in their best interest, it will not cost too much, no extra labour costs. How? They will create a schedule of regular info on weather sent every 30 minutes to a central database, severe weather: immediate info to the database;
  • Develop a non-parametric model of traffic & weather phenomenon based upon self-organised optimal information storage;

  • Residual road salt detection? Development of reliable measuring system, data collection, optimization of salt spreading;

  • Data collection from electronic ticketing system (time, place, passengers);

  • Route searches to transport planning: collect data from searchers done with route planner (PT) and use the data to describe public transport flows. This could be used for route and the table planning, e.g. to find out the connection where the service level is lower than targeted in terms of travelling time, number of transports;

  • Weather wikipedia: good coverage and real-time, whoever wants to connect his weather data to the service could do so, what kind of platform? Who is hosting the service, technological issues? Dynamic during trip services (meteoalarm, Baltic roads).
