Data, mapping, quality, and value generation

One of the cornerstones of smart traffic zones is the collection, processing, management, and communication of various forms of data. For smart systems to function, data is essential as a foundation for decision-making.

The term "data" encompasses various forms of traffic data (traffic regulations, traffic counts, accident data, traffic situations, etc.), environmental data (air quality, weather, noise, etc.), and other background data (road networks, demographics, climate, etc.). Some data may be available in existing databases, while other data needs to be measured and collected, which can be done through various types of sensors and measuring instruments (camera sensors, hose measurement equipment, radar, etc.) or from vehicle fleets. Depending on the type of smart traffic zone to be designed, different types of data are required, and there may be variations in the quality requirements for the data. In some cases, hose measurement may be sufficient, while in others, advanced sensor technology may be needed to make the right decisions.

In this part of the project, we will understand the data needed for different applications, identify the existing available data, and assess the quality of this data.
