Maintenance of Transport Infrastructure

This use case tackles projects that aim to improve the maintenance of transport infrastructure, addressing a myriad of challenges.

In the Netherlands, for instance, there are issues with train scheduling and equipment maintenance that need to be resolved. Meanwhile, the condition of roads is a pressing concern, with difficulties in deciding where to invest for repairs. Another challenge is the upkeep of road signs and their visibility, which is crucial for safety. The Netherlands also faces the task of ensuring the safety of bridges and viaducts, which require regular checks and maintenance. Furthermore, there are unsafe traffic situations on roads and intersections that can lead to accidents, which these projects aim to mitigate.

Each of these initiatives is working towards enhancing safety, predicting maintenance needs, and optimizing road and bridge conditions for better, safer travel.

Projects

These projects improve transport infrastructure by predicting maintenance needs, enhancing safety, and optimizing road and bridge conditions for better travel.

Pedestrian traffic management

This use case tackles projects aimed at optimizing pedestrian traffic and managing crowds in busy areas to ensure safety. The challenge lies in making busy pedestrian spaces safe and comfortable for everyone.

For instance, in the Netherlands, they are working on strategies to manage pedestrian traffic in crowded areas. Similarly, Spain is also focusing on improving safety in busy pedestrian spaces. Italy, too, is grappling with the same issue, trying to make crowded areas more comfortable for pedestrians.

Each project is striving to create a safer and more comfortable environment for pedestrians, making our cities more walkable and enjoyable.

Projects

This use case includes projects aimed at optimizing pedestrian traffic and managing crowds in busy areas to ensure safety.

Predicting traffic accidents

This use case tackles projects that focus on predicting and preventing traffic accidents. The challenge lies in the fact that accidents on roads are not being detected and responded to quickly enough, as seen in the Netherlands.

Another problem is the high frequency of accidents occurring on the roads, which is a common issue in many countries. In Portugal, for instance, there's a specific area where many accidents are happening, indicating a need for targeted intervention.

Each of these projects is working towards a future where traffic accidents are significantly reduced, and responses to such incidents are swift and effective, ensuring safer roads for all.

Projects

These projects focus on predicting and preventing traffic accidents.

Support in the management of municipal parking lots

This use case tackles projects that aim to improve the management of municipal parking within cities, addressing a couple of significant challenges.

In the Netherlands, for instance, people often struggle to find available parking spaces in the city, leading to frustration and wasted time. Another issue is that some people park their cars without paying the required parking fee, which is a problem for city revenue and fairness. These projects are working to develop solutions that make parking easier and more efficient for everyone, while also ensuring that parking fees are collected effectively.

Each project represents a step towards a more organized and fair parking system in our cities.
