TRACKSS - Technologies for Road Advanced Cooperative Knowledge Sharing Sensors

Objectives

TRACKSS strategical goal is to develop new systems for cooperative sensing and predicting flow, infrastructure and environmental conditions surrounding traffic, with a view to improve road transport operations safety and efficiency.
 
This strategic goal will be achieved by means of a number of specific objectives, namely:

• The development and/or improvement of a number of breakthrough sensing technologies.
• The design and integration of knowledge sharing capabilities into a sensor network, giving optimal integration into the Cooperative Transport Systems.
• Enabling the modular integration of the sensors developed by the project into the Cooperative Transport Systems architecture.
• Making use of the most advanced data fusion and integration techniques in order to get as much information as possible from the data collected.
• Developing a knowledge based DSS (Decision Support System) to assess and predict the ambient conditions affecting the safety and efficiency of transport.
• Validating the project results by means of three validation scenarios:
• Test Track: the project developments will be validated in a controlled environment. 
• Crossing: the project developments will be validated in a real intersection.
• Network: the project developments will be validated in a section of a real network.
