The road users are gaining increasing benefits from new technologies and business models developed by third parties service providers thanks to the availability of data, however, to date this data has not been exploited to its full potential.
Meanwhile good data shared by third-parties service providers supports NRAs to plan, manage, operate and maintain their road infrastructure effectively and safely from services such as data aggregators, navigation system providers, fleet management systems and public transport via cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). This requires a robust and sustainable data infrastructure to enable the exploitation of data from existing and new data sources. As a result, this data is becoming more complex and challenging regarding its volume (real-time or long-time requirements), trustworthy and security.
This research programme will examine the following three subtopics:
(a) Maintaining and sharing the digital road infrastructure;
(b) Improving the use of third-party data by NRAs;
(c) Integrity, Authenticity and Non-Repudiation (e.g. proof of the origin, authenticity and integrity of data) integrated in Trust Models for C-ITS applications.
Following an open Call, the Programme Executive Board subsequently selected two successful projects:
PRESORT - ImPRoving thE uSe Of third-paRTy data by NRAs
Project Partners: AECOM (UK, coordinator), Royal Haskoning DHV (the Netherlands), White Willow Consulting (UK), MAPtm (the Netherlands), Traficon (Finland), and Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (France).
DROIDS – Digital Road Operator Information and Data Strategy
Project Partners: Traficon (Finland, coordinator), IFE (Norway), MAPtm (the Netherlands), FEHRL (Belgium), University of Warwick (England), and Royal Haskoning DHV (the Netherlands).
A supplementary Call 2022(2) on Data (the third subtopic) was opened on 28 April 2023 and closed on 30 June 2023. The Programme Executive Board subsequently selected one successful project.
TIARA – Trusted Integrity and Authenticity for Road Applications
Project Partners: AESIN (UK, coordinator), SINTEF (Norway), Traficon (Finland), and TML (Belgium).
