TOP Ideas

GROUP 1 (TOP 5)

  1. Friction model:  combined with RWIS and weather and maintenance activities – “PULP FRICTION” – Pub

technology, climate

safety, vulnerability

A

Actors

drivers/customers

drivers/customers, service providers

government, individual drivers, companies

cyclists, pedestrians, government, safety institution, operators, insurance

C

Collaborators

government

users/consumers, map providers, government

community organisation, government, individual drivers, companies (travel plans)

bicycle organisations, educational organisations, government, volunteers

S

Structures

sensors, datawarehouse, realtime needs, standards

open  database, interface

legislation, taxation

dynamic information , collaboration, communication, micro-climate info database

V

Values

realtime targeted information, road safety, accurate prognosis, less energy consumption

less time waste, location visibility, quality of data

lower cost lower environmental costs, social impact

encouragement to non-motorised transport

O

Obstacles

lack of sensor / actual for data standards

cooperation from DB owners

privacy /cultural, safety, legal liability

good network data is missing

  4. USA 511 for Europe - Ready
  5. Information on Eco-Efficiency – while planning – while driving - Pub
  6. Social Eguality Issues: age, gender, language – Pub

GROUP 3 (TOP 6)

  1. Eye from above: traffic information from satellites, unmanned planes, helicopters, balloons, aircrafts; meteoinfo from satellites – Wild
  2. Urban data fusion for a better traffic intormation, Traffic forecast models – Pub, 
  3. Mobile sensor data acquisition: Mobile phones as sensors – Ready
  4. Cross Border Weather Alerts – Ready – Weather and traffic information through mobile phones
  5. Mapping of risky road stretches - Waste
  6. European databases – Pub – see group 4

WACSVOD – General problems

 
Ready-to-go ideas are for sure, no weak signals,  but work is needed with information providers

 Scattered data problematic -> in future traffic information is independent on administrations

 Value: legal obstacles

 Datawars?

 Drivers: demands are growing, more satellites in the future?

 Obstacles: creating models becomes unfeasible

 Others: eCall and airport weather observations – Waste

GROUP 4 (TOP 4)

  1. Weather Wikipedia – weatherwiki for roadweather; road weather data - Waste
  2. EUROADMAP – Northern Europe Module (NEM) for mapping road weather conditions online – Wild (NEM Pub) – (Conceptual)– see group 3
  3. Mobile Pocket Guidebook with position services – all traffic modes  – Ready, see group 2
  4. EYEAR: Road Eye: friction data collection and transmission (acoustic, optical, invehicle etc.) – Ready

WACSVOD ANALYSIS OF THE 4 TOP IDEAS

 

EYEAR

MOBILE POCKET GUIDE

EUROADMAP

WEATHER WIKI

W

Weak Signals

variety of data, different methods

lack of some data, variety of sources

 

availability of data, access to data cost?

 

variability in data quality? Stakeholders?

A

Actors

manufacturers of equipments, road authorities, transport operators

meteorological institutes, authorities, operators (transport, tele) service providers, pedestrians, cyclists, passengers, event makers

people and companies and road authorities and meteorologists with interest, national weather services, private weather companies

we don’t know the actors: end-users, manufacturers, authorities, ?

C

Collaborators

sensors in vehicles, vehicle info

same without users

as above plus various others

meteorological institute

S

Structures

safety for road users

observation network, internet, mobiles, telenetwork

internet based road weather map (e.g. google map), computer networking, weather service – road authorities

www

V

Values

lack of validation

optimize travelling time etc. pre-planning of trips, increase safety (slippery), healthy savings, environment (traffic mode)

safety, environment, cost for traveller, traveller information, info for freight transport

social wellbeing, efficient use of existing information

O

obstacles

government

lack of data, willingness to pay? price, business model

competition between actors, open interfaces

false reality?

 

D

Drivers

variety of data, different methods

city councils, ageing population, climate change, environment issues

 

peoples willingness to help: cheap dynamic develop-ment. NB: data to be deliv-ered in graphical form only! i.e. not digital -> quality issue
