This sheet provides an overview and links to any public results and demonstrations of the ROADIDEA pilot projects. Each pilot has it's own web page with information.
PULP FRICTION PILOT
The “Pulp Friction” Model is a practical implementation of modelling road surface friction. The pilot produces live predictions up to 2 hours ahead of road slipperiness in Finland. For a map click here. More information on the pilot can be found here. For the full report on the Pulp Friction Pilot click here.
FOG PILOT
This pilot, a Fog Warning System in the Venice Region, constitutes a proof of concept, as well as a practical application of how road safety can be improved by accounting for adverse meteorological conditions, in this case reduced visibility.

ROUTE RAINFALL FORECAST PILOT
Started as a demonstration and developed into a pilot, we have made the Route Rainfall Forecast Planner for Holland. This pilot is based on a combination of the rainfall forecasts up to two hours ahead for a 1km by 1km grid in Holland with routes generated by the Demis route planner. The result is that as a road user (cyclist, motorcyclist, pedestrian, etc.) you can better decide when to leave so as to miss the rain that is coming in. More information can be found here.
CONCEPTUAL PILOTS:
GOTHENBURG PILOT
In this conceptual pilot a traffic flow prediction model will be used for merging of traffic and weather data in Gothenburg area. The mobile end users will be provided with data about the current traffic flow and traffic flow prediction for this area.
PORT PILOT
This conceptual pilot models the Multimodal Traffic Situation in the Port of Hamburg by providing a prediction tool for the generation and distribution of road traffic depending on the ship arrivals and departures.
