Esrium\u00b4s 5th Consortium Meeting hosted\u00a0by the project coordinator<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Joanneum Research<\/a> on the 28th and 29th took place at their headquarters in Graz, Austria.<\/span><\/p>

On this occasion, the nine partners of the consortium gathered face-to-face for the first time since the beginning of the project for an in-depth overview of the tasks pointing out what took place, and what is to come.<\/span> Strong emphasis was put on the observation of new technologies which can be used in order to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of the EGNSS-based\u00a0data platform, one of the key innovations in the project.\u00a0<\/strong>As the<\/span> ambitious goal of ESRIUM is to create a novel business case with validated economic and societal impact<\/b> partners reviewed the <\/span>business research activities<\/b> planned to refine the overall business case, as well as<\/span> innovation management activities<\/b>, <\/span>testing activities<\/b> and<\/span> dissemination activities<\/b>. Such also opened the opportunity for discussions around the\u00a0<\/span>technical research activities<\/strong> that had taken place as well as those that are yet to be conducted in order to tackle technical challenges.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A geo database capable of combining an ultra-high-definition (UHD) map with a road wear feature (RWF) layer has been developed which subscribes to weather observation and traffic counting services. It serves as both the common data storage point for integrating road wear predictions and providing road condition data towards the data service platform<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>

Great workshop! Unfortunately, the advantage of such face-to-face meetings is underestimated nowadays. Indeed\u00a0 meeting in person has its positive outcomes such as the possibility to discuss future ideas for the following steps and initiate cooperative, market-oriented projects.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>

From now until May the team will focus on integrating the road wear map and road damage prediction data with the data platform. Further work is also planned in the area of the user vehicle EGNSS localization unit as well as getting the automated demonstrator vehicle ready so that the test can run smoothly by August next year. The data analysis and user acceptance evaluations will be prepared later in the year. Enide<\/a>, the dissemination and exploitation leaders in the ESRIUM project will push for further promotional activities aligned with the plan of commercializing the project outcome.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

ASFINAG saw promising development presented in the ESRIUM workshop in Graz, November 28-29. We are eagerly anticipating test drives early next year which will demonstrate the location accuracy gains with Austria\u2019s own EPOSA system as well as the feasibility of alerting ADAS systems in vehicles to road damage ahead with Austria\u2019s C-ITS system.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>
