Project description
Safety monitoring of road networks for efficient maintenance
The EU-funded CAMBER project uses a multipronged approach to develop workable solutions for integrating asset and safety management in urban and secondary road networks, aiming to identify affordable safety improvements. At an estimated 725 000 km, Europe's secondary roads account for over 90 % of fatal and serious crashes, of which one in three involve micromobility users. The project approach leverages road maintenance and upgrades to improve safety for all road users using new generation data sources and analytics with advanced digital twins of road infrastructure. In doing so, CAMBER aims to improve the efficiency of the systems used by road managers, reducing the costs associated with the collection of data required for road condition and safety evaluations.
Objective
The Connected and Adaptive Maintenance for Safer Urban and Secondary Roads project (‘CAMBER’) aims to develop and demonstrate improved safety monitoring across urban and secondary rural road networks through real-time data feedback into road maintenance systems and proven low-cost interventions. Performance metrics based on new-generation data sources will provide road managers up-to-date information on safety issues, damage, and routine maintenance and upgrade needs. Data collated from a range of sources, such as telematics, vehicle and smartphone sensors, and road user feedback, will feed into safety assessment models to flag what measures are required to ensure a safe road environment for all road users, including road-user minority groups with varying design needs, such as powered two-wheelers (PTW). CAMBER will support this through much-need research and testing of low-cost road safety interventions and low-impact maintenance techniques, including those for vehicles with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The approaches will be demonstrated on urban and road networks in five European countries. CAMBER’s economically-sound solutions and new knowledge will be communicated through established networks to European road managers, policymakers and industry to support the decision-making and investment needed for more efficient maintenance for safer urban and secondary roads.
