1. 1 Miss – Monitor Integrated safety System Project n. 516235 Call Identifier: FP6-2003-Transport-3 Type of instrument: STREP Start 01/01/2005 Duration 24 months

2. 2 Project Objectives The overall goals of the project are:  to promote the development of robust open platforms, communications, services and HMI to accelerate the development, deployment, and use of Intelligent Integrated Road Safety Systems.  to develop a shared vision of a better future in which more intelligent, efficient and safe transport infrastructure will respond better and better to our mobility needs.

3. 3 Scientific and Technological Objectives 1/4 The Monitor Integrated Safety System (MISS) platform aims at the development of a state-of-the-art technology and algorithmic solution to mitigate severe traffic safety problems. The technological goal is the integration of supervision monitoring rooms into one single UOC (Unified Operative Centre)

4. 4 Scientific and Technological Objectives 2/4 MISS platform will consist of:  Innovative on board vehicle-based detection kit Integrated with existing communication technologies (TETRA, GPRS, GSM)  Geo-reference street database  Advanced algorithms to fuse the detected real-time data gathered by several organizations so that reliable and consistent traffic information can be shared.  Intelligent communication schemes to allow targeted information dissemination to clerical staff and drivers, based on their location and projected route

5. 5 Scientific and Technological Objectives 3/4 The architecture:

6. 6 Scientific and Technological Objectives 4/4 The main functionality of the MISS platform are here after briefly outlined:  To detect infrastructure hazards - such as debris on the road, pavement deterioration and stalled vehicles - mobile vehicle- based devices.  To communicate data on detected hazards via a high-speed link thanks to communication network to an UOC.  To record short video and audio on demand  To process the raw data (recorded, fused and coupled with existing data in a geo-coded database) and produce reliable targeted information for various types of users (travellers, emergency vehicles, vehicle fleets, other).  To share targeted information among different executive monitoring rooms.

7. 7 WorkPackage Structure The overall work is divided into 7 workpackages, each one having its specific goal and responsible:  WP1 Project Management (SINTRA)  WP2 User Need, service Scenario and System requirements (CRF)  WP3 System Specification and Design (REG)  WP4 Prototype Implementation (M-SYS)  WP5 On-field Testing and demonstration (PROBO)  WP6 Industrial Exploitation (CERTH)  WP7 Dissemination and Promotion (SRM)
