Project description
Innovative data platform for fewer car accidents
Increasing digitalisation and automation can improve road usage, increasing safety and reducing maintenance costs. The EU-funded ESRIUM project will develop a service that provides reliable road damage detection, localisation and information to enhance traffic safety. The project will create an innovative data platform hosting highly detailed EGNSS-referenced map data of road surface damage and road wear. This platform will contain unique information and precise routing recommendations allowing road operators to optimise planning, road maintenance costs reduction and increased traffic safety. ESRIUM will utilise cooperative intelligent transport systems infrastructure and EGNSS-based localisation in planning the trajectories of automated vehicles, thus also supporting the requirements of the rising automated vehicle sector.
Objective
ESRIUM is a multi-national project with the common goal to set up a service to foster greener and smarter road usage, road maintenance, and to increase road safety. The key innovation will be formed by a homogeneous, accurate and recent digital map of road surface damage and road wear. ESRIUM’s core proposition is a data platform, which hosts highly detailed EGNSS-referenced map data of road damage and associated safety risks at centimeter-level resolution. Further addressed as “road wear map”, it will contain unique information, which is of value to multiple stakeholders: road operators will be able to lower the road maintenance effort by optimal planning. Further, road operators will be able to lower road wear and increase traffic safety especially for heavy vehicles. Considering the market introduction of partly automated truck fleets, the precise track of these vehicles can be adjusted by communicating precise routing recommendations in- and cross-lane. Truck fleet operators following these recommendations can receive tolling benefits, and increase the general safety for their vehicle fleet. Especially with the increasing levels of autonomy, systems will utilize infrastructure support to handle the requirements of the automated driving task and additional external requests. In ESRIUM, these opportunities are addressed by utilizing C-ITS infrastructure and EGNSS based localization in planning the trajectories of such automated vehicles.
Key to the ESRIUM innovation is a precision localization service, which provides reliable locatization information of road damages and of the vehicles using the roads. Considering a European-level business-case, only Galileo may provide such a service in homogeneous quality, even at very remote locations on the European continent.
