The ideas in the Basket "Wild" cannot be seen as to be applied straight on or need more research: technology is not ready or facts are missing, debate is on, etc.:

Ideas Presented

• Satellite photos for traffic measurement. Not enough details to count the number of the cars but we can see car clouds: size, movement;

• Use road study sensors to both collect and transmit information;

• Detection of collapsed road structures;

• Location blind corner approach warning – weather & location dependent (2-way);

• Animals on road: easy device developed that can be shot on moose, showing their location (GPS/Galileo) + central data analysis and delivery;

• No more friction! New vehicles “flying” without ground contact!

• Free data platforms! Remove data pricing constraints;

• We must give valuable information to the driver -> how human brains works?

• Intelligent car can and must collect information about driver and environment, and give forecast. There are objective and subjective variables

• Too many data, we must compress -> patterns;

• Based upon patterns we could proceed to an optimal control of driver actions and to increased safety

• Automatic traffic management information system:
• Traffic transport management & forecast (weather /events);
• Adjust traffic capacity in real time – automatically based on traffic;
• Traffic transport management & forecast (weather /events);
• Variable message signs;
• Abolishment of physical road signs – replacement by electronic means:
  • Road signs of physical nature will gradually be replaced by electronic means; the road user receives information via radio and all kinds of electronic gadgets;
  • “CAR BUS” – cars are auto-guided in traffic jams to increase throughput; cars will be “forced” together; infrastructure will adjust.

• Weather-dependent urban traffic situation;

• Modelling the behaviour of road users on public transport under adverse weather conditions & prognosis -> forecasting the changes in the traffic situation (in rain, in snowfall etc.);

• Traffic demand forecast patterns including weather & events;

• Intelligent traffic data warehouse;

• Theoretical base: data mining, historical data;

• Plan repair activities based on projected data ;

• Road infrastructure capacity planning: identify possible bottlenecks ahead of time; simulate impact of road works;

• Fellow driver service;

• Car-infrastructure communication;

• Eye from above: 1) satellite, GS bad resolution, CP low frequency over same point, 2) aircrafts, no permanent actions, in future unmanned or UL aircraft, 3) cameras on road infrastructure, not dependent on weather or day/nigh, only local info. All aircrafts are equipped with camera under them -> obligatory to send pictures to central processing unit; Legal obstacles, costs and expenses: airplanes investment to high, remote controlled aircrafts 500e/h pilot not roadidea; Satellite – not feasible;

• Systematic assessment of the local traffic situation using aerial photos taken by small pilot less exploratory aircraft: a) collecting data from accident scene by photogrammetric methods on the basis of aerial photos, b) survey of the extent of disturbance caused by local weather condition, c) survey of the extent of disturbance caused by an accident, d) need to develop a special method to evaluate the traffic and microclimatic situation from the aerial photos, e) developing mathematical methods to calculate the necessary exact traffic parameters from the aerial photos similar to the parameters came from point-based and link-based data. (density of traffic, speed of different vehicles, volume of traffic, level of service etc.). Other data: gasoline stations/maintenance, restaurants, toilets, rest parkings;

• Locate all kind of traffic and environmental changes: put transmitters on everything, pedestrians, bicyclists, cars etc. then it is possible to warn car drivers for pedestrians, cycles etc. then use car to car communication to forward it. Everything that moves gives location info passive transmission of data;

• EUROADMAP: Universal Europe-wide road weather service: north-European road weather service as part of it.: mapping road weather conditions for northern Europe online; road section-based online display;

• Weather monitoring on European road map, radars, observations, combined weather radar and synoptic weather observations on European road map, covering the whole Europe, the driver can zoom in the area where he is location – application of the lhs;
