The aim of this programme is to provide the NRAs a certain level of confidence in approaching the era of digitalisation, where collecting, managing and sharing the data from NRAs, third-party service providers and road users become vital to improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of road transport. The road users are gaining increasing benefits from new technologies and business models developed by third parties service providers thanks to the availability of data, however, to date this data has not been exploited to its full potential. Meanwhile good data shared by third-parties service providers supports NRAs to plan, manage, operate and maintain their road infrastructure effectively and safely from services such as data aggregators, navigation system providers, fleet management systems and public transport via cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). This requires a robust and sustainable data infrastructure to enable the exploitation of data from existing and new data sources. As a result, this data is becoming more complex and challenging regarding its volume (real-time or long-time requirements), trustworthy and security.
This programme has the following topics:
(a)Maintaining and sharing the digital road infrastructure
(b)Improving the use of third-party data by NRAs
(c)Integrity, Authenticity and Non-Repudiation (e.g. proof of the origin, authenticity and integrity of data) integrated in Trust Models for C-ITS applications.
