​

14. Smart Highway

​

Project Description:

 

SMART HIGHWAY consists of GLOWING LINES that are charged during day-time and glow at night for eight hours. In this project, part of the road glow in the dark lines are installed, called Glowing Lines. These lines collect energy during the day and give light in the evening. Here the landscape becomes an experience of light and information. As a result, this increases visibility and safety.

 

Project Objective:

The goal is to make smart roads by using light, energy and information that interact with the traffic situation.

15. NeMO (Hyper Network of electromobility)

 

Project Description:

 

NeMo Hyper-Network is a distributed environment with open architecture based on standardized interfaces, in which all electro mobility actors, physical or digital can connect and interact seamlessly, in order to exchange data and to provide more elaborate e-mobility ICT services in a fully integrated and interoperable way for both B2B and B2C.

 

Project Objective:

 

• To create open, distributed and widely acceptable systems for electromobility which will boost

the market share of Electric Vehicles.

• To increase the service availability by better planning and more secure grid operation by making

the back end data and service accessible.

• Introducing a set of information and communication technology (ICT) interfaces which will

facilitate the communication and data access for all electro mobility related stakeholders

developing a core system capable of providing ICT services.

• To develop a pan European eRoaming framework by linking existing e-mobility platforms and

by designing a common and open European Inter-roaming protocol.

16. Street lamps as charging Points

 

Project Description:

 

In a pilot project, SimpleSockets were installed in dozens of street lamps in several places in London Drivers need to park next to such street lamps and use the mobile “tap” to purchase electricity that is then directly billed. It takes only half an hour and around 1,000 euros to convert a street lamp — a fraction of what it costs in time and money to install a separate charging station.

 

 

Project Objectives:

 

The objective is to convert existing infrastructure into charging points which is a low-cost project and hence promoting electromobility.

17. SATIE

 

Project Description:

 

The SATIE support action concluded in 2014, producing a proposal for a “virtual European ITS testbed” comprising a cluster of local and national test beds for different kinds of transport-ICT (ITS) able to meet the future needs of key decision-makers in public and private sectors.

 

Project Objective:

• Raise awareness and assess interest amongst relevant stakeholders in Europe of the benefits of large-scale actions for ITS, to increase the effective scale of trials, pilots and demonstrations

• Explore which cooperative structures and processes could enable an ITS incubator network to cut through the research-innovation-deployment cycles and fast-track market development

• Support European Commission services to identify options for creating large-scale actions for intelligent mobility, in the framework of smart city lighthouse projects or other pilot and deployment initiatives.

19. Big Data Europe

 

Project Description:

 

To push the use of data technologies within selected European societal key sectors including the transport sector, Bigdata Europe will provide support mechanisms impacting all major aspects of a data value chain, in terms of used data and technology assets, the participating roles and the established or evolving process.

 

Project Objective:

 

• The workshops will be covering the whole process of data usage starting from data collection, over to processing, storage and visualization up to the development of data services.

• The activities in the transport domain (Societal Challenge SC4) will focus in particular on streaming sensor network and geo-spatial data integration.

• Take advantage of the latest European RTD developments.

• There would be ERTICO workshops covering the whole process of data usage starting from data collection, over to processing, storage and visualization up to the development of data services.

21. Scaling up Parckr

 

Project Description:

 

 ‘Parckr’ is an app developed to assist ‘Truck drivers’. ‘Parckr’ informs truck drivers about how busy the parking spaces are on their route. It is unique because parking places can be predicted so that the drivers can plan their rest and journey times in advance.

ParckR App and API (for planners etc.) with national coverage and the following functionality: Show the availability of resting places on the relevant route and time-window. - Show the relevant services available at the resting places. - The routes in the project are limited to the routes that are part of the pilot.

 

Project Objectives:

Inform Truck drivers about predicted occupancy of parking place on their routes.

Project leader : Tom CEO Ven (director)

Parties involved : Traxpert, Dynniq, Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, Parckr

 

Project Status: completed (01/10/2014 to 31/12/2017)

22. TimesUpp

 

Project Description:

TIMESUPP is the Traffic Jam File Alarm for the Netherlands. TimesUpp sends the user a message indicating when they should depart to arrive on time for their next appointment, if it takes too long by car, the app shows how can they travel by public transport. Timesupp checks the latest traffic information for the next destination and sends a travel alert when it’s time to leave. It also adds time for parking.

Whenever you add a location to appointments in your calendar, TimesUpp automatically calculates travel times for you. TimesUpp is the only app that views the whole itinerary up to 60days in the future.

 

Project Objective: Sending user notifications for smart travel assistance to save time.

23. Compass4D

Project Description:

Compass4D targeted road safety and energy efficiency for road transport through the implementation and pilot of three Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) services in seven European cities (Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Helmond, Newcastle, Thessaloniki, Verona and Vigo).
Compass4D works with the European cities, road operators, vehicle fleets and all road transport stakeholders to navigate their way to the sustainable deployment of the following cooperative ITS services:

• Road Hazard Warning (RHW) reducing road accidents by warning drivers about queuing traffic or other obstacles ahead.

• Red Light Violation Warning (RLVW) reducing the number of red light violations and to minimize the impacts of such violations (such as emergency vehicles crossing).

• Energy Efficiency Intersection Service (EEIS) allowing the driver to choose a fuel-saving and comfortable speed profile to cross the intersection efficiently.

 

 

Project objective:

 

Compass4D focuses on three services which will increase drivers' safety and comfort by reducing the number and severity of road accidents as well as avoiding queues and traffic jams.
