Alpine Mobility Check
Managing Traffic Monitoring Data within the Alpine Space.
Aim
Many studies have been carried out to underline problems related
with traffic flows in the delicate environment of the Alps,
but each of them encountered strong difficulties to find reliable
data and data shared by the different interested regions.
The availability of trustful traffic data represents the main start-
ing point for each study in the Alpine Space and consequently
for the definition of interventions for mitigating the impact in a
sustainable way. At present traffic data are collected by different
road operators in the Alpine Space The project AlpCheck
intends to build an informative system able to collect, organise
and make these data homogeneous. The project aims to
realise a flexible system, able to use as many already implemented
technologies as possible and thereby to eliminate the
problem of data duplication. Furthermore the project intends
to facilitate handling and extracting traffic related data starting
from the data already systematically collected but not yet
shared or analysed on an Alpine wide scale.
Activities
The project AlpCheck will develop pilot actions in order to apply
the informative system to the largest number of innovative
technologies for the vehicle monitoring (weigth-in-motion
linked with GPS systems, real time transfer data, GPS linked
with portals, etc.). Once the complete overview of existing
data and relations is reached, it will be possible to optimise
trips, to reduce the number of heavy vehicles on the roads and
to study a global system for the trips re-allocation.
Attention will also be put on the environmental aspects. The
informative system will be tested also for the application of environmental
themes by the realisation of the specific emission
model that will use the information deriving from the informative
system created by the project
Outcomes and results
The main outcome of AlpCheck is to create an open information
system ready to interchange (using specific software
for conversion) data from different devices for monitoring and
counting of road traffic within the Alpine Space. The system
will integrate different technologies and methods to gain high
value information to govern both traffic and pollution emissions
in Alpine Regions. All the types of road traffic will be considered
(long distance, local, commuting, tourist and goods).
Besides the information system it is worth to mention some
other outcomes:
6 pilot projects for testing new technologies;
representation of traffic trends in the pilot project areas;
comparative analysis between local monitoring of pollutant
emissions and results of environmental simulations;
realisation of an interactive website;
conferences, publications and disseminations of results.
