Today there are more and more cars & ugrave; computers on 4 wheels and thanks to connectivity; they will be able to communicate with each other and with the road infrastructure to offer drivers greater safety while traveling. Technologies that will be fundamental above all for the development of autonomous driving . An anticipation of what we may have in the future was shown by the Volkswagen Group and the ASTM Group who presented the mobility project; intelligent that provides for the direct dialogue between the vehicle and the road infrastructure .

MOBILIT? SMART

The German Group says that thanks to a Golf with integrated Car2X technology , they have tested mobility; intelligent on the Arluno-Rho section of the A4 Turin-Milan motorway. A project based on the Emeras software platform developed by SINELEC, the company & agrave; technology of the ASTM Group, which guarantees integration with ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) on the road and makes it possible to carry out real-time bi-directional interconnection between vehicles and road infrastructures.

Technologies evolve from intelligent systems to & ldquo; cooperative & rdquo; where the cooperation between vehicles and infrastructure provides better quality services; (for safety, comfort and congestion reduction), increasing the level of supervision of the vehicle's environment and becoming a technology enabler for a future based on autonomous driving. Road operators and drivers will have the opportunity; to exchange information in real time to optimize travel, thus reducing; accidents, congestions and polluting emissions. Emeras collects and aggregates information relating to the current scenario and, taking into account the risk factors, immediately activates the response plan by disseminating geo-localized messages.

The cars can communicate with the road infrastructure thanks to the presence of the Car2X technology that is already present on several new Volkswagen Group models. These vehicles, therefore, can communicate without the necessity; of having to be equipped with other devices. Car2X communication covers a range of 800 meters in a few milliseconds and will improve; as the number of vehicles using it increases.

According to PwC data, by 2025 100% of cars in the European Union will be; connected and in 2030 around 20 million self-driving cars are expected in Europe, of which 2.8 million in Italy alone. Numbers maybe a little generous but it is clear that cars are destined to become more and more; connected. To affect the development of smart mobility above all the road infrastructures that will have to evolve in order to interact with the cars in real time.

Precisely for this reason, ASTM Group will invest & agrave; in intelligent systems . In fact, it has announced a modernization plan for the A4 Turin-Milan motorway. Specifically, a first part of the interventions will be; completed by 2024 on the Milan-Novara pilot section in order to then be extended to the entire motorway. By 2030 it is intended to introduce an extension of the vehicle-infrastructure communication systems, an increase of the monitoring system with sensors and intelligent gates with a toll system “ free flow ''. In addition, anti-fog systems will also arrive.

C & # 39; & egrave; then the will & agrave; to want to use 70% recycled asphalt for the deep layers and graphene asphalt for the surface. Finally, the aim is to introduce wrong-way detection and dangerous goods detection systems, hydrogen dispensers and a greater number of charging stations for electric cars.
