The fast pace of digital roads
FROM THE ISSUES OF SAFETY, CONGESTION AND POLLUTION TO THE SOLUTIONS THAT ARISE FROM THE DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION OF OUR ROADS. IN THIS CONTEXT, WE DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE OF SINELEC (ASTM GROUP),
AN ACTIVE PARTNER OF THE ANAS SMART ROAD PROJECT, AT WORK ON CRUCIAL TOPICS SUCH AS CONNECTED
VEHICLES AND WIM SYSTEMS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING.
Gli Innovatori
The infrastructure and transport sector has a fundamental role
in a country’s growth. The increase in world population has resulted
in the growing use of infrastructures, with an impact on
road safety, public health and climate. Around 1.3 million deaths
are recorder on the roads annually, whereas 20-50 million people
are involved in non-fatal accidents (WHO data from 2020).
Additionally, transport is still one of the main sources of pollution
due to fine particles and CO2 emissions. Just two years ago,
in 2018, the World Economic Forum estimated global productivity
losses of US$ 1.4 trillion caused by congested traffic. Signs
of change begin to emerge in this scenario, attributable to three
disruptive macro-trends - electric vehicles, connected autonomous
vehicles and shared/interconnected mobility models (MaaS)
- which testify to the drive towards “greener” and safety-focused
choices, such as multimodal transport solutions that reduce the
number of vehicles in circulation. Infrastructures and their digital
transformation cannot avoid being an integral part of this path towards
the future.

New ecosystem
The digital transformation process of transport infrastructures is
still not as advanced as it is in other sectors, but it is now an indisputable
fact that road networks and Control Centers must evolve
in order to become an integral part of a new and connected system.
Control Centers will have to interact in real time with infrastructures
and vehicles to manage the new flows and offer high
added-value services. Road will essentially inform, suggest alternative
routes and “organize themselves” based on actual and expected
traffic. They will be interconnected structural elements that
will proactively maintain their operational status and communicate
with service providers in order to guarantee simpler and safer
travel experiences, while reducing congestion and pollution.
Smart infrastructure will become a service platform that will redesign
the approach to mobility, no longer only concentrating on the
individual, but on the movement (and needs) of the community.
This is a vision that embraces the sustainability principles of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Horizon 2020
European Green Deal programme. Smart mobility will also be a
priority subject in terms of the Recovery Fund projects in Italy
which will see a portion of resources allocated to transport digitization
(the 2020 Documento di Economia e Finanza [The Annual
Economic and Financial Report from the Italian Ministry of the
Economy and Finance] calls for a 637 million investment in smart
road initiatives). The digitization will involve a significant number
of projects in both urban and extra-urban settings. It will impact
existing roads, bridges and viaducts and will be an integral part of
new constructions. The networks of the future must be able to
manage connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) while going
through intermediate phases. In this sense, the road operators
sector is working to define a classification system for the various
degrees of infrastructure digitization to be implemented based on
