Autostrade con strumenti di controllo intelligenti

Autostrade Intelligenti

Motorways capable of communicating with self-driving cars and providing drivers with safety information; sensors and lights that can automatically detect accidents and communicate with the relevant authorities via a centralised platform; high-definition cameras that read the number plates of passing vehicles and monitor traffic in real time; smart service areas, motorway toll booths that recover energy from braking vehicles; drones that monitor traffic or keep an eye on the infrastructure’s health; pavement that ‘talks’ with the operators through sensors, to determine the ideal maintenance schedule. 

All the tools put in place by Autostrade per l'Italia to make the network it manages safer, smarter and more sustainable.

Argo infrastructure monitoring system

Argo is an infrastructure lifecycle management and monitoring platform. Its digital inventory stores structural data concerning bridges, overpasses, viaducts and tunnels, updated in real time. Drones equipped with high-definition cameras and LIDAR lasers digitally scan infrastructural works, while IoT sensors collect data to assess and monitor their health. Data can be used to build a 3D clone of the infrastructure using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. And a dedicated infrastructure monitoring app integrates all this data and supports field inspectors.

Evolutive Pavement Management System (E-PMS) 

Autostrade per l'Italia's advanced road pavement lifecycle management system. It is based on IoT sensors that transmit descriptive parameters of the road surface’s health. By processing this data through artificial intelligence algorithms, the E-PMS system returns an estimate of the pavement’s useful life and optimises the most appropriate maintenance plans to plan the relevant interventions based on several elements, such as financial and time-related aspects, with the obvious result of improving safety for travellers and the impact on motorway traffic.
