RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Innovation comes from teaming up with the best

We participate in several Research & Development projects financed by the European Union and Greek national funds (ESPA – NSRF). Our R&D strategy advances and improves our innovative technology, sets us on the frontline of cutting-edge research, and provides us with a competitive advantage to stay ahead of the market trends while supporting our safe and eco-driving initiative.

Smartmaps

www.smart-maps.gr

Smart city mapping for safer and eco driver behaviour through smartphone sensor big data

This project will exploit large-scale spatio-temporal data from smartphone sensors to develop dynamic maps with readily accessible online information on road safety and eco-driving (routes with reduced fuel consumption).

The objectives of the project encompass the exploitation of large-scale spatio-temporal data from smartphone sensors, the development of intelligent driver behavior maps providing information on safety conditions and eco-driving, and the creation of an extensive tool designed to foster safe driving behavior, with a specific application in Greece.

The project’s main findings include the combination of road geometry characteristics, naturalistic driving data, observed driving behavior, and historical road crash records for road safety modeling; the determination that spatial models offer a superior fit to the data compared to non-spatial models; and the development of a transferable methodology that enables predictions in areas lacking data.

The SmartMaps platform, which was developed as part of the project, is now live and accessible at https://www.saferoadsmap.com/.
