Project Focus

Project A22

The project is bringing to the development of a networked infrastructure capable to make a wide range of geo information available to the operators of a major Italian motorway. In doing so, the system is supporting a number of open standards from ISO and OGC. Unlike current SDIs which address relatively static data in time slices, similarly to traditional GIS, the system developed allows to manage true dynamic data available, through geo-referenced sensors along the motorway. Linking existing systems and networks to achieve a comprehensive, coordinated and sustained infrastructure capable to improve management of the motorway system is the main objective of the project. The networked platform being developed has extended the traditional concept of SDIs with an unprecedented volume of real-time geo-referenced sensor data, along the road with high spatial and temporal resolution.
