The ROADIDEA data source identification – results and utilisations

Kurzfassung

ROADIDEA is aiming at a thorough analysis of the European service sector and its potential for radical innovations with special attention to the combination of traffic and weather information. It is to answer the question, whether Europe is able to produce radical new innovations for the transportation system. Is it possible to create services which are valid all along large distance transportation from – for instance – Croatia to Finland? But also: If not, why? ROADIDEA is analysing available data sources as a prerequisite for reliable and valuable services. And while trying to implement new ideas ROADIDEA will face existing problems and bottlenecks and hopefully it will be tackled or at least described. Better methods and models are to be developed, to be utilised in applied service platforms and some project pilots. This paper describes the project ROADIDEA as well as some results and first utilisation of a corresponding European data source investigation within the data related work package.
