Traffic Flow Data Space

Traffic Flow Data Space

Start Date: November 2024

End Date: June 2026

Pilot sites: Porto, Helsinki e Amsterdam

Problem

Problem

Road construction and maintenance frequently lead to congestion and increased pollution. To manage these impacts more effectively, navigation and transport services need access to more accurate and reliable data on planned roadworks, as current information is often incomplete or inconsistent.

 

To respond to these challenges, we are developing the Traffic Flow Data Space (TFDS), a space that facilitates the sharing of mobility data.

TFDS will support more accurate and dependable traffic management by facilitating data sharing among sectors including mobility, roadworks, events, traffic, and environmental monitoring. This will enable to extend IDEA’s achievements through new functionalities and advanced data-driven applications.

What is IDEA?

What is IDEA?

IDEA is a system that improves road and traffic data by detecting road closures, validating incidents, and enhancing data quality, enabling real-time insights for both authorities and road users.

Despite the progress of IDEA , urban traffic management still faces significant challenges, calling for continued improvements and new capabilities.

Significant challenges persist in developing and implementing this solution across multiple locations, primarily because of the complexities involved in sharing and integrating heterogeneous data types and formats.

Project's goals

1. Establishing cross-sectoral data space

2. Deploy IDEA-application
in Porto and Helsinki

3. Empowering cross sectorial application

4. Improve IDEA application

Traffic Flow Data Space (TFDS) will be designed to integrate mobility and environmental data from both public and private sources. This data space will support more effective approaches to data and application interoperability, tested across three pilot contexts.

As part of this effort, IDEA will be implemented in Porto and Helsinki, alongside the development of the next-generation framework, IDEA 2.0.
