The Madrid Pilot explores both urban and rural scenarios in two distinct locations: in an urban-suburban environment within the municipality of Alcobendas and on a rural road in the outskirts of Madrid.
The Alcobendas area boasts a well-established urban mobility framework, with diverse traffic patterns and varied road conditions. The outskirts of Madrid are characterized by a secondary road environment with less dense urbanization. This setting presents unique challenges, such as inconsistent road quality and lower traffic volumes.
Objectives
This pilot aims to develop a digital twin for smart road monitoring, focusing on pavement defects and their impact on driver behaviour. By utilizing detection advanced technologies, it will assess current road conditions and provide real-time insights to stakeholders such as road operators and local authorities.
By exploring both urban and rural scenarios, the pilot aims to gather a wide array of data and feedback, enhancing the robustness of the proposed solutions and their applicability across different road environments. This dual approach ensures that the project’s solutions effectively address the diverse needs of road users, enhance safety and streamline maintenance efforts through proactive interventions. The ultimate goal is to foster safer and more efficient decision-making across the region, promoting improved mobility for all.
Use Cases
Pre-Intervention Road Asset Monitoring and Diagnostics (incl. physical, geometric and connectivity characteristics)
Dynamic quantification of multidimensional safety criteria
Provision of risk warnings to road users on network quality, service availability and other detected risks
