The first innovation seminar was held on 12-13 May 2008 in Prague project month M6). There were altogether 36 participants in the seminar including 3 members of the Steering Committee and the Coordinator of another INFSO project.
There were 19 short-listed ideas whereof 7 ideas, 3 modelling tasks, 3 general development tasks were selected for further study. In addition 4 pilots were se-lected for further study and practical pilots. The ideas were as follows:
The main Innovations created in the First Innovation Seminar in May 2008 are divided into three groups:
• Service ideas (7);
• Modelling ideas (3);
• General developing ideas (3)
• Pilots (4)
For more information, see Deliverable D5.2: Results of the First Innovation Seminar
Ideas and Pilots for discussion and further development are as follows.
Each IDEA and PILOT has its own wiki site and own IDEA team.
SERVICE IDEAS
Cross border weather alerts, location-based systems
MOBILE PHONES AS SENSORS
Mobile sensor data acquisition
MyRoute, MOBILE POCKET GUIDEBOOK
My Route Mobile Pocket Guide is a system for providing travel information and updates over a mobile network. It gives the traveller / driver comprehensive real time traffic information needed for well-informed travel decisions (pre-trip information) as well as information during the journey (on-trip).
MyTravel, TOILET-TOMTOM
My Travel Toilet Tom-Tom service is offered to all drivers and travellers. It gives a driver / traveller the possi-bility to find information on availability of toilets along a planned route, with particular impact on places for disabled persons and mothers with small children. It could also give the driver / traveller possibility to check the other resting possibilities at chosen place.
IN-VEHICLE INFORMATION
Invehicle information about speed, road condition and traffic situation
EUROADMAP
European road weather databases using sponsor-based business model
EYEAR
Road Eye: friction data collection and transmission (acoustic, optical, invehicle etc.)
MODELLING IDEAS
PULP FRICTION
Friction model: combined with RWIS and weather and maintenance activities
TRAFFIC FORECAST MODELS
Traffic forecast models
PORT
Port-related traffic modelling
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT IDEAS
FREEDATA
Free geospatial and weather data
RTFM
Better and tailored user-interfaces of text, image, audio, considering personal characteristics of users: lan-guage, disabilities, age, health, and other personal needs
STAYHOME
What are the effects of choosing staying home instead of choosing to travel a certain route?
NEW!
