IP0069 - Increasing Freeway Network Resilience by Advanced Congestion Pattern Analytics (.pdf - 103Ko)

One of the major challenges for resilience in road networks is congestion. This paper investigates different types of freeway congestion events using real large-scale data sets from various stationary detectors in the German freeway network as well as data from US and Switzerland. Every observed congestion event can be classified into one of the four categories “Jam Wave”, “Stop&Go”, “Wide [...]

IP0123 - ITS Initiatives in NEXCO East (.pdf - 2.2Mo)

In recent years, the innovation in various fields such as ICT and the AI progress rapidly. In the automotive industry in Japan, autonomous driving (level 3) is permitted by a law revision in April, 2020, and the autonomous cars and connected cars may be deployed faster than expected. The automotive industry has been playing a key role. Studies by the road management side come behind a little until [...]

IP0018 - Crowd sourcing road condition surveys through a mobile game (.pdf - 52Ko)

Preventative road maintenance depends on the ability to produce data on the road condition. Carchupa developed a game for mobile phones that enables inexpensive, easily repeatable, and fast data collection on roads through crowd sourcing. The paper presents a case study of using the data collection platform to crowdsource pavement defect data on roads and light traffic routes in the selected cities. [...]

IP0128 - System that uses big data to identify passable roads after disasters (.pdf - 40Ko)

In the event of a disaster, it is necessary to provide drivers with road closure information as quickly as possible. In the past, this has been lack of immediacy due to the need to conduct field surveys to determine the locations of non-passable roads. As a result, there has been demand for a system that provides road administrators with real-time information on non-passable roads and traffic restrictions. [...]

IP0258 - ROAD SURVEILLANCE NEXT GENERATION (.pdf - 836Ko)

MITMA is immersed in a digital transformation and the highway surveillance service as well. This is intended for the road to have an important resilience against the different challenges that it may suffer and against the passage of time. To do this, it is necessary to have data on the elements of the road and their behavior and evolution. Quick inspections are necessary to determine that the number [...]

IP0024 - The ARGO Project for infrastructure monitoring (.pdf - 813Ko)

The "ARGO" project aims to collect in a single database all the information that allows to create and manage an integrated system of scheduled maintenance, in line with the legislative evolution and able to meet the needs of stakeholders. Reasons to act: • 30% of civil infrastructure has exceeded its planned lifespan • Recent damaging events have led to budget allocations • High inspection and [...]

IP0372 - AREA (Automatic Road works Extension Alert) SYSTEM: Dispositifs de surveillance IoT en real time des travaux routiers pour améliorer la sécurité et la gestion du trafic (.pdf - 405Ko)

The AREA System (Automatic RoadWorks Extension Alert), devised by Anas S.p.A., the Italian Authority for national roads, for real-time localization and characterization of road works (both moving and stationary ones) on the national road network, is part of the Smart Road project able to monitor the operating conditions through modern IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. A Low-Power network made [...]

IP0179 - ÉVALUATION D’UN SYSTÈME DE DÉTECTION D’AVALANCHES POUR L’AUTOROUTE TRANSCANADIENNE DANS LE PARC NATIONAL DES GLACIERS (.pdf - 422Ko)

The Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) runs across the whole of Canada and is the most important highway for the nation. The TCH through Glacier National Park (GNP) is threatened by 135 avalanche paths causing an average 74 hours of closures per winter and significant risk to highway users. Winter Average Daily Traffic (WADT) increases annually, and without additional mitigation, avalanche risk to highway [...]

IP0131 - FAISABILITÉ DE LA TRAFIC GESTION RÉSILIENTE BASÉE SUR LA NAVIGATION D'ITINÉRAIRE UTILISANT L'INFORMATION DE RISQUE D'ACCIDENT EN HIVER (.pdf - 18Ko)

1. Background Making a traffic control system more resilient to the risk of traffic accidents under unexpected weather change is effective as a short-term approach to sustain winter road safety. We focus on a resilient traffic management that can control the total risk of traffic accidents in road network by shifting traffic demand from high-risk routes through low-risk routes to destination, based [...]

IP0334 - Les pôles d'échanges sur autoroute, nouvelles mobilités et nouveau lieu d'intermodalité (.pdf - 1.6Mo)

Avec un développement des métropoles françaises, les enjeux de déplacement se sont accrus dans le périurbain entraînant des temps de trajets domicile-travail très importants. Dans le contexte actuel d’un rejet partagé d'une politique "tout voiture", source de nuisance (congestion, pollution, coût, ...), et d’une prise de conscience environnementale, le développement des lignes express [...]

IP0157 - MESURE DE L’IRI EN CONDITIONS HIVERNALES AU MOYEN D’UN PROFILOMETRE UTILISABLE SUR DES VEHICULES TRACEURS (.pdf - 1.8Mo)

The Ministry of Transportation of Quebec (MTQ) in Canada has in charge the management of about 30 000 km road network. Each year, the MTQ evaluates the road network condition by considering several criteria. One of them is the level of road deformation due to the frost which is measured through the IRI annual difference on a same road section using data collected in summer and winter. Measuring the [...]
