Executive summary
Executive summary
The ASSET-Road Website: www.project-asset.com was updated in several
iterations during the project until end of 2011. Different public videos and films from
international TV stations and flyers from the different test sites were included. The
recommendations of the EC expressed during the final audit in 2011 were
considered by including a public deliverable and a list of the main important
innovations of the ASSET-Road Project.
Within the framework of the ASSET-Road project a great number of well prepared
and god attended events, workshops, TV video presentations and meetings took
place in which the work of the project partners and the results of the project have
been presented and discussed.
However, the different kinds of events had a different degree of success:
The usual, conventional way of exchanging information and knowledge,
inviting a greater number of experts and scientists working more or less on a
similar topic to an event which takes place in connection with another contentrelated conference or congress, has not led to the desired effect in this case.
Often the number of invited guests and the number of those participating
diverged greatly. The explanation may be that there is obviously an excess
supply of such events for researchers and certain saturation may have been
reached. Thus, invitations which do not directly match one’s own focus of
interest are not considered any more.
Even specifically organized events for participants from interested public
authorities, e.g. the user group meeting in Budapest, attracted at least more
guests than participant ASSET-Road partners.
However, the opening events of the German test site and the Finnish test site met
great response. They also arouse intense media interest since traffic flow
monitoring tools for the police forces have been developed and provided within the
framework of the project. Such events are always attractive for the audience and
very interesting for the general public as each road user may be concerned. If even
politicians or other public figures can be won and will participate, the attractiveness
of the event especially for the press rises considerably.
The European City of Science in Paris, a major exhibition which was open to the
public, equally appealed great audience. More than 60,000 people were registered.
A very successful International cooperation between the ASSET-Road partners,
ministries, industry and administrations could be established in conjunction with
many different national and international workshops.

Tanzania (very successful with several contracted consulting studies and
further and ongoing cooperation)
India (conference in 11/2011 with the road administration and ITS India)
Hungary (cooperation concerning a integrated test station in preparation)
Austria (cooperation concerning a integrated test station in preparation)
Bilateral cooperation between project partners could be established too for the
future.
Additional pilot systems are being planned for some of the ASSET-Road
technologies (WIM/Thermal imaging systems/3D Stereo Speed cameras) and
preparation and further development of cooperation between the SME and research
institutes is intended (VTT/ROC/KRIA).

ECS (European City of Science) Paris
ECS preparation and planning
The preparation of the ECS participation (originally not planned and no costs
considered, but initiated by the EC) was done in the period August until November
2008. There was a strong international competition for being accepted for the ECS.
ASSET-Road proposal was selected and the preparation team joint 2 meetings in
Paris for synchronisation of the exhibition booth and stand layout.
Main contributors for the preparation, set up of the stand and execution of the ECS
were: UBM, ROC and MHU. AutoCAD was used for the design of the stand

according the given guidelines and the positioning of the different exhibition items,
LCD screens and posters.
ASSET-Road – ECS Participation
The FP7 ASSET-Road research project (217643 Integrated System Solution for
Safety – Advanced Safety and Driver Support for Essential Road Transport)
www.project-asset.com which started 1st July 2008, was selected to participate the
European City of Science exhibition and event, set up under the nave of the Grand
Palais in Paris from 14th to 16th November 2008.
It was organized during the French Presidency of the European Union by the
Ministry for Higher Education and Research. Over 60.000 visitors were registered.
The objective of this event was to provide the largest possible audience with a
vision of European research that is more in keeping with the individual concerns
and problems of our time; a framework for direct and lively dialogue between
science and society.
Page 10/98
ASSET–Road
The ASSET-Road vision and content is to substantially contribute to safe and
sustainable transport by linking road traffic and safety information from all essential
system elements.
ASSET-Road will develop a “Holistic and Integrated Safety Approach” and is
inspired by natural mobility and its excellence too. Improving driver awareness and
behaviour is a key issue. This will be achieved through an advanced sensor and
Page 11/98
ASSET–Road
processing network providing assistance, information and integrated services for
drivers, traffic control agencies and infrastructure operators.
Heavy goods transports will be controlled automatically concerning overload and
vehicle safety conditions. Road infrastructure will be protected. Different Test sites
in DE, FI, FR and AT will be constructed to demonstrate innovative concepts,
functions and performances.
ECS Documentation prepared
Different documents and a ASSET-Road video were prepared for the ECS
participation of ASSET-Road (see appendix).
1.3
User group and Forum
In the first year of the asset project different workshops were run with the
participation of the relevant ASSET-Road partners (partially interested stakeholders
were invited too).
1.3.1
User Group Meeting Freiburg, Germany
Alongside to the Workshops WP5, WP6 and WP2 a user Group Meeting took place.
Unfortunately several of the invited users could not attend to the meeting, although
the date and the timing were agreed to be acceptable.

Page 14/98
ASSET–Road
Although 227 participants were invited, apart from the ASSET-Road partners
involved in the project only 4 persons attended. On the other side many potential
users attended the different ceremonies and presentations of the test site openings
including discussions concerning the ASSET-Road project and approaches.

User Group Meetings: General Conclusions
Within the framework of the ASSET-Road project a great number of events,
workshops and meetings took place in which the work of the project partners and
the results of the project were presented. However, every event was not equally
successful.
Even though they were prepared with care and participants were invited in good
time, it must be stated that the user group meetings were not successful:
Administrations and stakeholders have normally no time and no budgets to
join the user group meetings for 2-3 hours in cities abroad.
Even the integration of the user group meeting in conjunction with a
conference or exhibitions did not show the expected effects and results.
For future R&D project this experience should be considered with care.
The usual, conventional way of exchanging information and knowledge, inviting a
larger number of experts and scientists working on similar topics to an event which
takes place in connection with another content-related conference or congress, has
not led to the desired effect in this case. Often the number of invited guests and the
number of those participating diverged greatly. The explanation may be that there is
obviously an excess supply of such events for researchers and saturation may have
been reached. Thus, invitations which do not directly match one’s own focus of
interest and available budgets for traveling are not considered any more.
authorities, e.g. the user group meeting in Budapest, attracted more guests than
participant ASSET-Road partners.
However, the opening events of the German and Finnish test site with innovations
and new technologies for traffic monitoring and control met great response. They
also arouse intense media interest since traffic flow monitoring tools for the police
forces have been developed and provided within the framework of the project. Such
events are always attractive for the audience and very interesting for the general
public as each road user may be concerned. If even politicians or other public

the press rises considerably.

Liaison EU projects
Liaison EU projects
The participation of different ASSET-Road project partners (PTV, VTT, ROC, UCD
e.g.) in FP7 R&D projects were used for discussion and cooperation with ongoing
R&D projects related to this domain of ASSET-Road.
The liaison to relevant European programs, activities, R&D projects and networks
was the main focus of this task:
To exchange information, ideas and findings
To synchronise or add priorities for safety, efficient transport and
infrastructure
To use the liaison to accelerate the dissemination process
To create awareness and to participate in the ongoing processes.
As example of relevant projects are: eSafety Forum, ERTICO, FEHRL, ETRAC,
EUCAR, ECR, TISPOL, CLEPA, ECTRI, COST actions, European Road Safety
Charter, International Task Force Vehicle Highway Automation, Heavy Route and
GoodRoute. Some of the project partners are involved in the projects above and
other FP7 proposals such as FORT (Future Of Road freight Transport).The contact
to different related main EU projects is under consideration and a joint meeting is
planned. The current status of this activity is:

ASSET–Road
Opening speech by Hon. Hezekiah N. Chibulunje, (MP), Deputy Minister for
Infrastructure Development, at the opening of an international road conference and
workshop for dissemination of ASSET-ROAD, on advanced safety and driver
support for essential road transport, at Arusha International Conference Centre on
19th March, 2009.
Workshop Chairperson, Arusha Regional Commissioner,
Road Safety Stakeholder representatives, Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me first of all take this opportunity to thank the organizers of this Conference cum
Workshop for giving me the honour of opening this important conference. All of us in
Tanzania feel greatly honoured and highly privileged to be chosen to host this Conference
on Dissemination of ASSET Road on advanced safety and driver support.
Secondly I would like to welcome you all to Arusha - the Geneva of Africa, and for foreign
participants I welcome you to Tanzania as whole. We are all delighted to have you in our
midst and it is my sincere hope that the cool climate, the kind people and the beautiful
surroundings of Arusha will create conducive atmosphere for your comfort and pleasure.
I also hope that in addition to your important deliberations in the Conference, you will
also find some time to go out to view some of our marvellous fauna and flora in their
natural habitat, little disturbed in centuries. By so doing, you will get better appreciation
of what our country has to offer in preserving nature. Our National Parks like the world
famous Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park to mention but a few, our beaches
and the historic Old Towns of Zanzibar and Bagamoyo are a few examples of our natural
preserve and natural environment with its resources that I wish to encourage you to visit
while you are in Tanzania. Please feel at home. As we say in Kiswahili, KARIBU SANA.
Chairperson, Distinguished Participants, before I start my opening address let me also
commend the organizers of this conference for recognizing the importance of Road Safety
at this opportune time where road crashes have become a global problem causing many
accidents with varying magnitudes all over the world. Road crashes have become one of
the most common causes of death and injury and thereby an important negative
economic and social factor that must be addressed. In addition to loss of human lives and
personal sufferings incurred, road crashes are a burden to the community due to funeral
costs, the expenditures of medical treatment and the costs of repair and replacement of
vehicles and road furniture damaged as well as administrative costs. And since road
crashes consume a significant share of the countries’ resources measures need to be
taken to reduce crashes and their consequences as soon as possible.
Chairperson, this Conference is being held at a time when over one million deaths and
more than 50 million injuries occur each year worldwide as a result of road crashes. In
Africa, for example, the problem of road crashes and fatalities is a major one. Although
Africa south of the Sahara accounts for a small proportion of the world’s Gross National
Product and motor vehicle ownership, this area accounts for a more significant
proportion of the world’s road fatalities, mainly due to inadequate levels of investment in
road safety development. In Tanzania, according to Police records, over 360,000 road
Page 37/98
ASSET–Road
crashes occurred in the country for the last three decades (1977 -2007) killing over
46,000 people and leaving over 330,000 persons injured and a substantial amount of
property damaged. For the year 2007 alone, over 18,000 road crashes occurred in the
country killing over 2,600 persons and over 16,400 persons injured, some of whom were
permanently disabled. Police records and data reveal that inappropriate human
behaviour is the main cause of road crashes in Tanzania. In the years 2006 and 2007,
inappropriate human behaviour accounted for 80% of the road crashes reported to
Police.
Ladies and Gentlemen, at the global level, efforts are at an advanced stage in reducing
road crashes and fatalities. In Tanzania, the Government has taken initial steps to arrest
road crashes by developing a National Road Safety Policy which has been developed in
accordance with the five “E’s” strategy for the reduction or prevention of crashes. These
are: engineering and traffic environment, education and information; enforcement and
legislation, emergency response, and evaluation and other comprehensive actions.
Challenges and opportunities lie in the actual implementation of the National Road
Safety Policy. Bilateral and multilateral development and funding agencies have a critical
role in supporting the fostering of road safety.
Ladies and Gentlemen, wish to recognize and acknowledge the various partners who are
represented at this Conference and those who are not represented but have been assisting
Tanzania in this regard. I also wish to recognize and acknowledge the support being
given by the private sector through public-private-partnership arrangements. These
positive changes do create a good opportunity for all people throughout the world to pay
great attention to real issues of human survival. Nations of the world will be able to
devote their energies and resources to the search for a better life for their people. That is
especially important for us in Africa where the majority of the people continue to live
under miserable conditions of abject poverty.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is also my great pleasure to acknowledge the presence of
representatives of the transport sector from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Government of
Tanzania and the private sector who play a great role in one way or another in
improving safety on roads. I am informed that this Conference is a result of concerted
efforts in the area of road safety of nineteen Consortium Partners composed of
universities (7); research institutes (3); industry (1); developing countries (7) and public
administrations (1) as user and partners from India and Tanzania. In this regard,
therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to:
ASSET Road Project Consortium for hosting this Conference in Arusha, Tanzania;
National Institute of Transport (NIT), the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS),
Dar es Salaam Averi Scales (1990) Limited, Philtech Limited and AfriDeut Consult
Limited for the initiation of a cooperation with ASSET-Road Project Consortium 2007
¬2011 in disseminating and implementing sectoral research findings in Tanzania; the
Swedish National Institute of Transport for conducting a joint behavioural study of truck
drivers in Mtwara, Tanzania of which the Conference will be privileged to hear the results
during the presentations; and AfriDeut Consult Limited for coordinating the Conference.
Page 38/98
ASSET–Road
Ladies and Gentlemen, in this Conference, programmes and projects which can be shared
for the sake of improving road safety will be presented and discussed in detail. Road
crashes can no longer be regarded as being due to unfortunate mischance or as an
inevitable accompaniment of the modern world. Many of the deaths caused by road
crashes could be avoided by a systematic focus on prevention, more responsible
behaviour and resolute action by public authorities. The problem of road safety and road
crashes cannot be solved by taking half measures. Strategies for reducing road crashes
should ultimately aim at providing safer roads (which include planning, design,
construction and maintenance of safer road environment); safer people (encouraging
safer behaviour by road users); safer vehicles (encouraging the development and
application of new and safer technology); and community¬based actions (focusing on
raising community understanding of road safety issues and promoting coordination
between all road safety stakeholders. The principal causes of road crashes should be
made clear in the discussions on road safety problems, as well as what can be done to
stop the destructive road crash trend. Roads, vehicles and drivers are the main factors
involved in road crashes. Road crashes investigations in various countries have
attempted to weigh up the significance of these three factors. It has been found that the
overriding factor is the human element of which this Conference is rightly going to
address.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this Conference will focus mainly on safer people: the projects to
be discussed in this conference have a vision of contributing towards safe sustainable
transport by linking road traffic and safety information from all essential system
elements, with emphasis on improving driver awareness and behaviour as key issues. I
am told that this project is built on an understanding of human behaviour and crash
causation in order to develop a broader view of ways to manage traffic systems and
influence driver behaviour. I am glad that Tanzania has been honoured to be one of the
case study - countries in this project. I would like to take this opportunity to assure
conference participants that Tanzania will be pleased to share your expertise in order to
reduce road carnage.
Ladies and Gentlemen, on a broad perspective, it appears to me that this Conference is
about enforcement of traffic laws, regulations and rules, as the case may be, by use of
modern technology. This boils down to a road user's perception of risks of being
apprehended when he violates traffic laws, regulations and rules. The risk of detection, as
perceived by road users, is regarded as being one of the most important factors in
determining the overall effectiveness of traffic law enforcement as a means of deterring
illegal road user behaviour. If road users believe that there is a low probability that a
traffic offence will be detected and punished, then it is highly unlikely that enforcement
will pose a significant and meaningful threat. Highly visible enforcement operations are
one means of increasing the perceived risk of apprehension. Vehicle deployment options
can facilitate this process by creating the impression that enforcement is extremely
active. A combination of highly visible stationary and mobile enforcement operations
with clearly marked police vehicles combined with a smaller number of unmarked police
vehicles appears to be the most optimal deployment option.
Page 39/98
ASSET–Road
Ladies and Gentlemen, the use of selective traffic enforcement activities has the potential
to increase the deterrence effectiveness of enforcement operations whilst maximizing the
use of available policing resources. These operations are designed to target specific
traffic locations and road user behaviour to obtain the maximum possible deterrent
effect. The use of automated offence detection devices is one further means of increasing
the overall effectiveness of enforcement operations. These devices have he potential to
increase enforcement deterrence by significantly increasing both the actual and the
perceived risk of detection, without requiring substantial increases in police resources.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to request this Conference to
look into the potential of using automated offence detection devices for the enforcement
of traffic rules in developing countries with special attention to specific local conditions
in rural areas and urban areas where conditions and availability of power supply and
replacement infrastructures for any technology that might look attractive are quite a
challenge. I understand that there is a lot of work that has been done in this regard in the
developed countries but which cannot be applied in developing or low income countries
without appropriate modification.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this Conference brings together people with proven experience in
managing road safety projects and researches as well as private entrepreneurs. The sum
total of your knowledge and experience is formidable. I therefore look forward to sound
and practical solutions and recommendations to the reduction of road carnage. We are in
the 9th year of the Millennium and this is one of the Conferences of its kind. So the task
before you is both great and important; and I feel confident, however, that the eminent
and experienced engineers and scientists gathered here will engage in useful discussions
and draw conclusions of value to the whole world. It is indeed my sincere hope that you
will pool your vast knowledge and great experience together to provide a strong basis for
the implementation of the goals and objectives of the Conference.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this Conference creates a good opportunity for African countries
to work together to define a modern approach to the problem of road safety. We are
expecting a great deal from its conclusions. I wish to assure you that we in Tanzania will
give the results of your Conference the attention they deserve. We will also endeavour to
make our modest contribution to all efforts aimed at reducing road carnage and its
impact in Africa and the world as a whole during this decade and beyond.
Chairperson, Distinguished Participants, finally, I wish to thank you once again for giving
me the honour to open this important Conference. It is my sincere hope that your
deliberations will help to strengthen cooperation among all countries of the world in
combating road carnage. I, therefore, wish you great success in your deliberations. I now
declare the Conference officially open.
Thank you for your attention. Ahsanteni sana.

ASSET Co-operation with Stakeholders Tanzania
The main objective of the cooperation between ASSET-Road Project and
stakeholders in Tanzania is a selective dissemination of the research findings of the
ASSET-Road project that adequately address the challenges of road safety and
road infrastructure protection.
ROC-Systemtechnik GmbH Graz, Austria made an immense contribution in guiding
and directing the WP7 dissemination activities to Tanzania and ADC-AfriDeut
Consult Limited, Dar es Salaam acted as a country coordinator for ASSET-Road
Project in Tanzania, linking the dissemination efforts successfully to the
stakeholders. This was greatly facilitated through the EC-Grant that made ASSETRoad Project possible.
Ministry of Works
The former Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MoID) was split late 2010 into 2
ministries: Ministry of Works and Ministry of Transport. A large part of ASSETRoad’s Project Cooperation with Tanzania was carried out in this Ministry; in its
i)
Road’s Safety and Environment Department,
ii)
Tanroads (Tanzania National Roads Agency and
iii)
NIT-National Institute of Transport.
The Road’s Safety and Environment Department under Engs. Madeni Kipande and
Samson Nkundineza as director and deputy director respectively came under the
re-established Ministry of Works.
Near the beginning of the cooperation period, ASSET-Road Project held at Arusha
Tanzania from 19-20th March 2009 an International Conference on Road Safety
Enhancement and Protection of Road’s Infrastructure. The conference was
officiated by the then Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Development, Hon.
Chibulunje and conducted together by ASSET-Road Project consortium partners
(foremost ROC-Systemtechnik) and Tanzanian ASSET-Road Project (ARP)
Stakeholders; foremost MoID.
The very good presentations by ASSET-Road consortium partners at the Arusha
conference and ROC Systemtechnik in association with ADC AfriDeut winning 2
highly competitive consultancy services tenders constituted a good basis for a
successful ARP-MoID Co-operation.
Both were requested to provide consultancy services for the preparation of:
The Tanzania National Road Safety Strategy for the years 2010/2011 –
2015/2016 and
Page 45/98
ASSET–Road
The Guidelines for Conveyance of Abnormal Loads and Improvement of
Transportation Efficiency on Transport Facilities.
Carrying out both assignments, in close co-operation and with the assistance of
MoID and Ministry of Home Affairs worked out exceedingly rewarding because the
theoretical framework is almost identical to the ASSET-Road Project disseminated
research findings. That called for a thorough understanding of the then current
status of road safety policy in Tanzania developed using the structure of the
National Road Safety Policy - 2009 which is the basis of all road safety strategic
plans at Central and Local Government levels. The model, in principle, uses four
perspectives to address road safety. These are:
Safer roads (planning, design, construction and maintenance of a safer road
environment);
Safer people (encouraging safer behaviour by road users);
Safer vehicles (encouraging the development and application of new and
safer technology);
Community based action (focusing on raising community understanding of
road safety issues and promoting coordination between all road safety
stakeholders).
The Draft National Road Safety Strategy Document that was prepared and
submitted:
Sets the concepts, activities and implementation measures base on aims and
objectives required to produce a reduction in road crashes and casualties;
Initiates the process of the road casualty and crash reductions for 2010 to
2015;
Supports the priorities contained in the National Road Safety Policy, 2009;
Sets best practice guidelines for the development of road safety initiatives in
Tanzania;
Sets the timescales for implementation to meet the policy objectives.
The output of the consulting and programming project will be a safety strategy and
a proposal for an implementation program leading to an integrated safety system.
State of the art analysis and concept development will be performed in close
cooperation with the client. The National Road Safety Strategy will provide a
framework and direction for a five year period for actions by various stakeholders
using the structure of the National Road Safety Policy.

In order to achieve that 2 Inspection Tours were organized:
a TZ Inspection Tour (Infrastructure) and
an EU-Inspection Tour (Technology).
Prior to undertaking the tours a list or table of required information was compiled
and the stakeholder to be contacted for the information identified (Annex A1 –NRSS
2010 -2015).
Tanroads
The stakeholder entrusted with among other functions those of providing and
protecting the road infrastructure in Tanzania is Tanroads. ARP- ASSET Road
Project inspected the following axle-load weighing stations installed and operated
by Tanroads: Kibaha, Chalinze, Mikese, Mikumi, Kange, Horohoro and Himo.
NIT- National Institute of Transport
This entity is an ARPC-Stakeholder under the Ministry of Works as well as a
consortium partner of ARP. As a stakeholder their objective is to offer higher
training in certificate and degree levels in automobile engineering, logistics and
transport management as well as in freight forwarding and clearing. NIT organizes
road safety courses for trucks and bus drivers.
ASSET facilitated financially the attendance of NIT students and tutors to the
ASSET-Road Conference at Arusha where they had the opportunity to see and
hear the conference presentations and participate in the conducted respective final
sessions of questions and answers regarding the presentations. After the
conference NIT embarked on researches on road safety and management of
licensing for drivers in Tanzania.
Ministry of Home Affairs
The responsibility of enforcing enacted road safety ordinances and laws in
Tanzania is entrusted in the hands of the road traffic police within the Ministry of
Home Affairs. There is a close working connection between the road traffic police,
now headed by ACP Mohamed Mpinga and the road safety department in the
Ministry of Works. The ARP-Cooperation here was with the Traffic Police
Headquarters in Dar es Salaam under Commander James Kombe and later
Commander Mohammed Mpinga. The objective of the co-operation was to enable
the Tanzanian Traffic Police to be more successful in controlling and removing not
roadworthy vehicles away from the road traffic.
42 Regional Traffic Officers from 21 Regions of Tanzania Mainland were
successfully trained at the Tanzania Police Academy by Manfred Hügel
Page 47/98
ASSET–Road
Selektionstechnik, Freiburg Germany provided training in the theory and practical
use of Infrared Thermo Imagery Technology in controlling motor vehicles
roadworthiness.
Field demonstrations were made at The Kibaha Tanroads Weighing Station. In
average out of every 10 controlled HGV 8 had defects; and some so serious that
their journey ended at the weighing station with their number plates being removed.
Early October 2011, Manfred Hügel Selektionstechnik, Inspector Gabriel of
Tanzania Traffic Police Headquarters and 5 of his Traffic Police Officers together
with ADC mounted a roadworthiness control at the Port Access Road outwards
opposite the Temeke Municipal Offices.
Out of 13 controlled vehicles only one was roadworthy. One abnormal low loader
transport with a police escort was so seriously defective that it was immediately
withdrawn from road traffic and made it to the yearly road safety exhibition week in
Dar es Salaam. The following entities are ASSET-Road’s Project institutional
stakeholders in Tanzania; these in turn serve all the natural entities whose wellbeing and that of their properties depend on an intact road traffic safety regime.
AfriDeut, at the safety week exhibition grounds, had the opportunity to show and
explain to the inaugural guests (including the EU-Ambassador to Tanzania Hon.
Tim Clarke) and the safety week public, the defects that landed the low loader out
of road traffic and into the 2011 safety week exhibition (That all 3 axles of the
exhibited trailer – which constituted axles 6, 7 and 8 of the abnormal transport had
no brakes at all and axles 4 and 5 of the pulling truck had also no brakes).
The Tanzania Infrastructure Tour resulted in a revelation of challenges facing both
the road traffic safety and road infrastructure protection efforts as documented in
the NRSS final report.
Page 48/98
ASSET–Road
The most frightening experience the ASSET-Road project could document is that
despite the carnage on Tanzanian roads due to un-roadworthy vehicles plying our
roads, for almost two years, our respective roads authority partners responsible
could not raise funds (EUR 18 000--) to purchase the two Infrared equipment we
used to conduct a training for 42 regional senior traffic officers. When they
conducted a field practical control at Kibaha Weighing Station they took several
trucks off the road within a short period - including fuel tanker trucks - due to grave
defects. Naturally the registration number plates were taken away, fines meted out
and eventually human life and property saved through ASSET-Road co-operation.
Outcome of The 19th-20th March, 2009 ASSET Road Project Conference and
Workshop in Tanzania:
An invitation from MoID to ARP-Partners to identify fields of cooperation in
road safety and road infrastructure protection.
Appointment of the Director of Road Safety and Environment in MoID into
ASSET-Road - Advisory Council.
ASSET-Road partners (ROC-Systemtechnik Graz in Association with ADCAfriDeut) invited to bid in several MoID competitive tenders and win 2 tenders
to provide consultancy services:
1) For the preparation of the NRSS-National Road Safety Strategy for the
years 2010/2011 - 2015/2016
2) For the Guidelines for Conveyance of Abnormal Loads and
Improvement of Transportation Efficiency on Transport Facilities.
High ranking (Regional Traffic Officers) of Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, Arusha
and Manyara Regions were so impressed by both the theoretical and practical
presentations of ASSET-Road partners MHU-Mr. Manfred Hügel, police

officer with the Interior Ministry of Baden Württemberg at Freiburg on
‘Experience Report German Traffic Police’ and with IMB-Mr.Hermann
Röllnreiter, police officer with the Interior Ministry of Bavaria on‘ Traffic safety
status, concept and strategy and HGV Truck Overload Control’ that they their
Commander, SCP- Senior Commissioner of Police, Mr. James Kombe to join
theTZ- EU-Technology 4000km Tour that visited Austria and Germany to the
foundries of modern road safety technology. He seized the opportunity to
meet and discuss cooperation with his peers in internal authorities in Bavaria
and Baden Württemberg. 42 Regional Traffic Officers were trained and
certified on Infrared roadworthiness control equipment and 2 IR-Infrared
cameras were firmly ordered but Commander Kombe went to regular
retirement and the 42 trained officers are still waiting for the modern tools to
identify a potential lethal HGV and take it off the road.
Both ministries of MoID and MoHA acknowledge the urgent need to equip
their respective staff with IR-Infrared tools but it is not a priority; furthermore
each expects the other to attach higher priority than oneself and pioneer the
purchase. After ADC-AfriDeut contacted both ministries several times on the
issue without any of them purchasing an IR-tool, ADC suggested to the MoHA
to do a joint venture with the private sector or press for the establishment of a
Road Safety Agency which would have a budget for tools of its trade.

Initiated Programs and Projects
1. ARC-Integrated African Road Control Project:
Some few months after hoisting the ARP-Conference and Workshop in Arusha,
ROC-Sytemtechnik and ADC-AfriDeut made a presentation of the ARC-Project to
improve road safety and efficiency through controlling driving time for all vehicles
with gvm > 2,8t by fitting a mandatory digital tachometer capable of controlling and
enforcing speed and driving time.
The financing of the ARC-Project, shall be on the basis of a PPP-Public Private
Partnership; whereby contacted potential Tanzanian private stakeholders (Pension
Funds, an Insurance Company and a Co-operative Bank) have not only shown their
readiness to invest in ARC-Project but would also support measures that facilitate
an accelerated project realization.
2. OSCS - Overload & Safety Control Stations
Semi automatic vehicle control stations and automation
of the control processes (network of remotely monitored
and operated control stations). Preselection with HS
WIM weigh in motion and dynamic axle weighbridges.
Automatic weight and overload reporting of vehicles for
data base, software support for the operator and
transparent enforcement. Video surveillance and
remote communication with a back office and management centre. Legal operated
vehicles can bypass without stopping.
The first of such an OSCS could be realized at current Kibaha Weighing Station.
ROC-Systemtechnik and ADC-AfriDeut expressed their interest to be considered in
participating in the Tanroads VOMS-Vehicle Overload Management Systems
Page 52/98
ASSET–Road
Tender to connect all Tanroad Weighing Stations to a back office and management
centre.
3.
CFDP - Coastal Ferry Development Project
The objective of this project is to investigate, prepare
and develop an efficient coastal ferry transport system
for Dar es Salaam with effective double end ferries to
solve the current traffic situation and increasing
volumes. Analysis of the traffic situation and
infrastructure access solutions. Preparation as PPP
Project.
4.
Wami River Road Way Dam, Irrigation & Power Station
The main purpose of the Wami River Road Dam,
Irrigation & Power Station project is to improve traffic,
power and irrigation conditions in the Western Wami
River Valley. It will capture floods, normal water flows and
generate energy. Water will be used by farmers
downstream for irrigating and Bagamoyo water supply.
5.
Pilot Control Station Kibaha
Redesign and retrofit program for Semiautomatic Weight
Control Stations. An improved pilot Station with dynamic
axle load control should be implemented and tested in
Kibaha. The new weighstation should be connected in a
network and monitored from the MoID. In addition to
weight different traffic safety aspects should be
controlled.
6.
eLearning & eProcessing
This is an efficient and effective way to support
remote learning, seminars and team conferencing for
police officers and to create a higher content of
educated and professional police officers.
eProcessing of “Abnormal Loads” is proposed for facilitating abnormal loads
permissions.
Success Stories and Lessons Learnt:
The preparation of the ASSET-Road Project in Tanzania and the vital support
given by ARP-Consortium Partners who attended and gave it a genuine ARPFormat. Lesson learnt: With ARP’s willingness to disseminate knowledge and
technology on road safety to Tanzania, and granting funds for hoisting a
Page 53/98
ASSET–Road
conference and workshop as was the case here; it is evident that the
beginning of a reversal, a watershed mark for road safety for Tanzania was
reached. It is not only an acknowledgement, that the deterioration of road
safety and its consequences in Tanzania has reached intolerable levels but
also we Tanzanians now, thank ARP-Cooperation, that we have the state-ofthe art blue prints of road safety and our top most road safety authorities have
seen – in EU-Technology Tour in Austria and Germany- how a reversal can
be successfully effected.
The opportunity to co-operate with an ARP-Consortium partner, ROCSystemtechnik in carrying out both MoID-Tender assignments. Lesson learnt:
Without the EU-Grant we would definitely not have been able to afford and
deliver such a high quality consultancy as the one MoID received.
The co-operation with the MoHA – Ministry of Home Affairs: The ARPCooperation included MHÜ-Manfred Hügel Selektionstechnik and ADCAfriDeut; and this was not a conventional success story save for the training
and certification of 42 regional traffic officers from 21 mainland regions on
infrared roadworthiness control and on 2 field occasions extremely road
unworthy vehicles carrying dangerous goods (fuel tankers) were controlled
and taken out of road traffic. Lesson learnt: Unless the recommendations of
the NRSS 2010/11 – 2015/16, advanced by ARP-Consortium Partners, ROC
and ADC, are carried out without any further negligent delay, the unnecessary
losses of lives and goods in absence of road safety and road infrastructure
protection will continue.
Benefit for Tanzania:
The ARP-Cooperation with Tanzania has been a rare wake-up call with an
opportunity to ride the wheel without technologically having to re-invent it.
Realization of the ARC-Integrated African Control Project, also an ARPConsortium conceptualized project would in fact:
a. Save lives and property through speed and driving time control and
enforcement
b. Prolong the useful period of TZ-Roads and reduce maintenance periods
c. Receive road toll instead of fuel levy.
Initiated and co-operations:
a. ARC – Integrated African Control Project with Tanroads TZ, ROCSytemtechnik
b. CFDP- Coastal Ferry Development Project with SUMATRA-Dar es
Salaam, AMEA Hamburg, ROC-Graz and Flensburger Werft

c. Pilot Control Station Kibaha with ROC- Graz, Pfister Augusburg
d. Wami River Road Dam: With MoW, ROC/HGC
Further initiatives:
Equipping the trained and certified traffic police officers with the needed
Infrared thermo imaging equipment. To this end ADC shall continue the
already begun deliberations with MoW-Ministry of Works (Road Safety and
Environment Department) and MoHA- Ministry of Home Affairs Traffic Police
Headquarters ACP-Commander Mohamed Mpinga as well as the EURepresentation in Tanzania (Ambassador Hon. Tim Clarke) who, during the
inauguration of Road Safety Week in Tanzania(01-08 /10/2011) reaffirmed
EU’s resolve to support road safety’s campaign motto for 2011‘ Road Safety
is the concern of each and every one.’
ADC-AfriDeut is aware, that a contribution – however humble - towards
realization of any of the strategies in the NRSS-2010 -2015, is helpful. It shall
therefore interest and enlist as many road traffic safety stakeholders in
shouldering together the financial load ARC-Project may create.

ASSET Conference India
The ASSET-Road India conference took place on 15th November in New Delhi,
India situated at the well known IIC India International Centre. The conference was
very well prepared including the highlights of the ASSET-Road project and a
professional handout submitted to the participants.
The conference program started with the welcome speech of Mr. Vinod Sher as
Indian ASSET partner:
Dear Distinguished Guests,
Road Safety Stakeholder
representatives, Ladies and
Gentlemen;
Let me first of all take this opportunity to thank all of you & my consortium partners of
this Conference cum Workshop for giving me the honour of opening this important
conference. I as the Executive Director of MTEL the Indian consortium partner feel
greatly honored and highly privileged to be chosen to host this Conference on Dissemination
of ASSET Road on advanced safety and driver support here in New Delhi India.
Distinguished Participants, before I start my opening address let me also commend my
consortium partners & organizers of this conference for recognizing the importance of
Road Safety at this opportune time where road crashes have become a g l o b a l
p r o b l e m c a u s i n g m a n y a c c i d e n t s w i t h v a r y i n g magnitudes all over the
world. Road crashes have become one of the most common causes of death and injury and
thereby an important negative economic and social factor that must be addressed. In
addition to loss of human lives and personal s u f f e r i n g s i n c u r r e d , r o a d c r a s h e s
a r e a b u r d e n t o t h e community due to funeral costs, the expenditures of medical
treatment and the costs of repair and replacement of vehicles and road furniture
damaged as well as administrative costs. And since road crashes consume a significant
share of the countries' resources measures need to be taken to reduce crashes and
their consequences as soon as possible.
Page 56/98
ASSET–Road
Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to recognize and acknowledge the various partners who
are represented at this Conference and those who are not represented but have been
assisting us in this regard. It is also my great pleasure to acknowledge the presence of
representatives of the government/semi government/research institutes/association
bodies from highways, infrastructure and ITS field and the private sector who play a
great role in one way or another in improving safety on roads.
I am pleased to inform that this Conference is a result of concerted efforts in the area of
road safety of nineteen Consortium Partners composed of universities (7); research
Institutes (3); industry (1); developing countries (7) and public administrations (1) as
user and partners from India and Tanzania. In this regard, therefore, I would like to
express my gratitude to:
•
ASSET Road Project Consortium for hosting this Conference in New Delhi India
•
MTEL for the initiation of a cooperation with ASSET-Road Project Consortium
2007 - 2011 in disseminating and implementing sectoral research findings in
India
Ladies and Gentlemen, in this Conference, programs and projects which can be shared
for the sake of improving road safety will be presented and discussed in detail. Road
crashes can no longer be regarded as being due to unfortunate mischance or as an
inevitable accompaniment of the modern world. Many of the deaths caused by road
crashes could be avoided by a systematic focus on prevention, more responsible
behaviour and resolute action by public authorities. The problem of road safety and
road crashes cannot be solved by taking half measures. Strategies for reducing road
crashes should ultimately aim at providing safer roads (which include planning, design,
construction and maintenance of safer road environment); safer people (encouraging
safer behavior by road users); safer vehicles (encouraging the development and
application of new and safer technology); and community-based actions (focusing on
raising community understanding of road safety issues and promoting coordination
between all road safety stakeholders.
The principal causes of road crashes should be made clear in the discussions on road
safety problems, as well as what can be done to stop the destructive road crash trend.
Roads, vehicles and drivers are the main factors involved in road crashes. Road crashes
investigations in various countries have attempted to weigh up the significance of these
three factors. It has been found that the overriding factor is the human element of
which this Conference is rightly going to address.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to request this Conference
to look into the potential of using automated offence detection devices for the
enforcement of traffic rules in developing countries with special attention to specific
local conditions in rural areas and urban areas where conditions and availability of
power supply and replacement infrastructures for any technology that might look
attractive are quite a challenge. I understand that there is a lot of work that has been
done in this regard in the developed countries but which cannot be applied in
developing or low income countries without appropriate modification.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this Conference brings together people with proven experience
in managing road safety projects and researches as well as private entrepreneurs and
stakeholders. The sum total of your knowledge and experience is formidable. I therefore
Page 57/98
ASSET–Road
look forward to sound and practical solutions and recommendations to the reduction of
road carnage. I feel confident, however, that the eminent and experienced engineers
and scientists gathered here will engage in useful discussions and draw conclusions of
value to the whole world. It is indeed my sincere hope that you will pool your vast
knowledge and great experience together to provide a strong basis for the
implementation of the goals and objectives of the Conference.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this Conference creates a good opportunity for Indian stake
holders and other likeminded agencies and partners to work together to define a
modern approach to the problem of road safety. We are expecting a great deal from its
conclusions.
Distinguished Participants, finally, I wish to thank you once again for giving me the
honor to open this important Conference. It is my sincere hope that your deliberations
will help to strengthen cooperation among all countries of the world in combating road
carnage. I now request Mr. Rigobert Opitz the technical coordinator of ASSET Road
Project for further deliberations of the conference /Thank you for your attention.

Future activities
Road deaths and injuries cost India at least Rs 1 lakh crore (1.0 Billion) per year,
and the government aims to reduce road fatalities by 50% by 2020. India has the
dubious distinction of registering maximum number of road deaths annually. The
latest report prepared by the transport research wing of road transport and
highways ministry said that in 2009, approximately 125,660 people were killed in
road accidents and another 5,015,458 received severe or minor injuries.
According to a note jointly prepared recently by the health and the highways
ministries, an estimated 1.6 lakh (160,000) people were killed in road accidents in
2010. However, the report is yet to be released.
BIG KILLERS: The government aims to reduce road fatalities by 50% by 2020
Road safety experts feel that the number of accidents and road deaths reported are
less than the actual figures due to lack of scientific data collection. Road accidents
are serious issues, but little attention is being paid to this. While, annually, the
nation loses almost 1.5% of its GDP on account of road accidents, the government
is not even spending 10% of that amount to make the roads safe.
Overview main activities
In recent years, there has been rapid and significant development of road safety
and transport technologies. These include safety technologies, advanced traveller
information systems and convenience and entertainment systems. The ASSETRoad project report compiles current knowledge on the impacts of these
technologies /systems on road safety in India. It is estimated that safety
technologies could reduce fatalities and injuries by 40% across India, saving billions
per year.
The ASSET Road technologies deployment challenges and provides
recommendations for Indian Governments and industry to maximise the safety
Page 59/98
ASSET–Road
benefits of new technologies and minimise their drawbacks in the fields of vehicle
design and safety; accident statistics; economics and administration.
Road crashes exact a tremendous human and societal toll in India. Each year,
more than a million people are killed in such crashes and millions more are injured,
many of them permanently.
Recently, much attention has been paid by the Indian Government to the
development of intelligent transport systems (ITS) that can improve the safety and
efficiency of road transport while improving user comfort and convenience. All
ASSET-Road consortium member countries have been involved in developing or
deploying these technologies to some extent. As the ASSET project has moved
forward, a great deal of information has been developed concerning the benefits
that can be realized over time with the full deployment of ASSET-Road
technologies in India. Among other things, safety benefits have been measured or
estimated for a wide variety of technologies in the ASSET-Project. This report
summarizes the current perspective concerning the ability of ASSET-Road
technologies to address the road safety situation in India.
Deployment of ASSET-Road new technologies: Benefits
Most countries suffer from similar safety problems. In particular, run-off-the road,
intersection and head-on crashes are the main crash types of concern in India,
specifically, alcohol, speed, fatigue and seatbelt usage patterns all play a role in
crash scenarios. As a result, there is a generally common expectation among the
countries in the world market that four types of technology (driver behavior status
and performance, speed control, collision avoidance and automated enforcement)
offer the greatest potential for lessening the number or severity of road crashes.
Page 60/98
ASSET–Road
These technologies are well incorporated in the ASSET-Road Project report,
including test results at various locations where these have been carried out. Based
on the available test results data, ASSET-Road safety technologies have the
potential to dramatically impact road safety in countries like India. Using only
conservative estimates, the following outcomes are possible:
ASSET-Road safety technologies can save millions of lives per year in India.
The cost savings associated with the reduction in fatalities alone can
conservatively be placed around billions per year.
ASSET-Road safety technologies can potentially reduce the total number of
road crash injuries and fatalities by approximately 40%.
The benefits outlined here and the resulting reduction in crashes, injuries and
fatalities assumes or implies that these technologies are fully deployed in India.
Thus, the benefits outlined here may not be realized for another 20 or 30 years.
However, the mere indication that such benefits can be realized should spur Indian
government to actively support and promote full deployment of as many of these
safety technologies as possible.
Partners and stakeholders involved
During the project tenure there has been many interactions with some of the
responsible stake holders of India namely; RITES, National Highway Authority of
India, Boarder Roads Organisation and other state owned stake holders across the
country.
Apart from these contacts were established with bid infrastructure companies who
have been developing roads and highways with Government of India on PPP
model.
It is highly on the cards that the technologies derived out of the ASSET Road
project may be implemented on pilot project basis through these private stake
holders for some of the up coming highway projects which includes the safety
aspects also as per the contract conditions /directives of Government of India.
Page 61/98
ASSET–Road
Meetings and Presentations
There were numerous meetings and presentations which were made to responsible
people in private as well as government sector apart from the Industry.
The ASSET-Project technologies and their benefits were briefed and demonstrated
by way of presentations in a detailed manner so that country like India can get
benefited in reductions of road fatalities in next decade.
Main topics discussed during these meetings and presentations were:
Make the traffic more fluent and safe
Increase supervision and use more automation
Education for Drivers and Road users
Reduce costs for M&R of Infrastructure
Extend the Lifetime of Road Infrastructure
Avoid construction sites on existing roads
Achieve Fairness for Road Transportation
Generate an integrated safety concept including (legality of Weight, speed, ,
red light overtaking, right of way, distance keeping)
Build a network of safety and control stations
Use funds for building new roads instead of repair work
Innovative Road Usage Charging and financing Concepts (BOT, PPP, Transit
Tolling)
Conferences and outcome
ASSET-Road Project (www.project-asset.com) WP7 workshop cum conference
[International Cooperation, Dissemination & Exploitation - Task 7.6 - Asia (India)],
was organized by MTEL in the capacity of Indian consortium partner on 14th and
15th November 2011 in New Delhi (India).
Page 62/98
ASSET–Road
This workshop/conference was attended by the consortium partners, Indian stake
holders and other delegates from India.
On this occasion the ASSET-Road project achievements & work already done was
presented to the Indian stake holders/industry representatives and participants.
Public exploitation and response TV, Radio and Press
Communication & dissemination activities are crucial in raising awareness and
understanding of the project exploitable results. Some of ASSET-Road project
dissemination activities aimed beyond the research community and to the general
public, with the objective to improve their knowledge and understanding of road
safety technologies and their benefits for the society.
The key to these campaigns was the creation of a convincing message for the end
user as well as for the professional Road safety/ NGO’s and ITS community. Our
message was centred on the user and wider benefits generated by the deployment
of the ASSET-Road technologies for a wide range of road safety applications, and
emphasized their value and acceptability.
Throughout the project, professional communications specialists were put to
contribution to create and diffuse messages aimed at the creating the general
public awareness about the ASSET-Road project and its benefits. In addition,
MTEL organized training workshops with professional target groups who have a
direct contact with the general public, such as students or local authorities.
Initiated programs and projects
While governments set the framework to ensure a safe road environment for all
users, industry plays a vital role in the development and improvement of road
safety. For example, many of the benefits being sought by the application of
ASSET-Road project technologies hinge on successful development and marketing
by private industry.
In considering the areas for action by industry, it is best to keep in mind their
strengths and weaknesses. For instance, industry does excellent work in research
Page 63/98
ASSET–Road
and development that serves to gain competitive advantage and satisfy customer
needs. They also do excellent work in setting standards, particularly those that
concentrate on co-opting and intercommunication between technologies and
systems.
However, industry has limited ability to carry out large co-ordination tasks and little
incentive or interest in introducing these technologies and systems that appear to
have no commercial demand. Keeping this in mind cooperation program with the
industry will be initiated to develop the ASSET-Road technologies and exploit the
same commercially.
ASSET-Road project technologies benefits
A number of reports suggest that the ASSET-Road Project technologies are some
what cost-effective if not expensive, although most reference qualitative rather than
quantitative benefits. The stakeholders/agencies suggest that the benefits of
ASSET-Road Project are substantial, but largely immeasurable.
Nonetheless, the major quantifiable benefits of ASSET-Road Project can be
identified in the following areas:
Throwaway costs and reconstruction costs to correct safety deficiencies
identified once roads are in-service are either avoided or substantially
reduced.
Lifecycle costs are reduced since safer designs often carry lower
maintenance costs (e.g., flattened slope versus guardrail).
Costs of collisions are reduced by safer roads and fewer, less-severe
crashes.
Liability claims a component of both agency and societal costs are reduced.
The benefits of ASSET-Road Project are that they:
May help produce designs that reduce the number and severity of crashes
Promote awareness of safe design practices in relation to ASSET-Road
project Technologies
Integrate multi-modal safety concerns
May reduce costs by identifying safety issues and correcting them before
projects are built
Consider human factors in all facets of design
Contacts and cooperation with administrations
One of the promising possibilities for ASSET-Road Project technologies is to
respond to the increasing importance of road safety in a India. In order for ASSETRoad Project technologies to truly achieve their safety potential, private sector
Page 64/98
ASSET–Road
developers and manufacturers must establish and maintain a credible commitment
to road safety. Such a commitment is characterized in the most basic sense by a
clear understanding of the road safety problem. Also, understanding the safety
situation provides a better basis to achieve a better balance between safety,
reliability and cost.
Once a high level commitment is established and acted upon, it is more likely that
resistance to the development of technologies that primarily target safety and seem
“unexciting” can be overcome. In addition, with a paramount concern for safety,
industry is better positioned to make realistic assessments of how a driver will use
any road safety technology in order to better measure and report the potential
safety benefits or risks of product introduction.
Much of what government does in relation to Road Safety technologies can have a
direct and sometimes profound effect on industry. From this standpoint alone,
effective and ongoing partnerships are essential to the long-term success of
technological deployment. From another perspective, there are often mutual or
shared interests between government and industry that can only be achieved if
there is a means for active dialogue among the players. There is a common desire
to ensure that appropriate standards are in place that will on one hand provide
some level of road safety assurance and on the other hand encourage rather than
limit private sector development of road safety products. An example is to avoid
driver confusion by ensuring consistent provision of information and consistent and
safe human interface with in-vehicle technologies, or, in a similar vein, to create
scenarios for the development of systems that provide only appropriate or
prioritized delivery of information to prevent driver overload. In either case, it can be
a highly productive and positive reason for partnerships.
Another aspect is in the development of standards for interactive systems across
jurisdictional boundaries. Such co-operation and collaboration can lead to systems
that address the primary road safety concerns of the government while at the same
time improving the market capabilities of new road safety technological consumer
products.
As we know, there is a need for iterative safety evaluation throughout the life cycle
of new road safety technologies/products. Both government and industry should
have a stake in this and an interest in the results of such evaluation. Effective
partnerships can facilitate collaboration on data collection, sharing and analysis.
Such collaboration may help in the development of regulatory frameworks that allow
safe performance of vehicles with new technologies and do not put vehicles without
the technology at a disadvantage or assist in managing liability issues that will arise
from technology deployments.
Another area that is relevant to industry is the classification of ASSET-Road Project
technologies as either primarily comfort-related or safety-related. To ensure the
highest attention to road safety, it is probably best for government and industry to
work together to determine what constitutes a comfort technology and what
Page 65/98
ASSET–Road
constitutes a technology with a safety implication (good or bad). Such determination
will drive decision-making regarding appropriate applications, use and
communications with the public, all of which affect the approaches that will be
pursued by manufacturers and others.
Industry has a primary role in communicating to the public about the capabilities
and limitations of their systems. If systems are only for comfort, industry should
create communication packages that clearly explain this to consumers to ensure
that expectations of the technology do not exceed its abilities to improve their
safety. In particular, industry must communicate warnings to the public about how
some technologies might introduce challenges to the driver and what those
challenges might be.
In addition, industry must communicate clear expectations concerning the limits of
technology and in which situations the technology is no longer effective and total
reliance is returned to the driver. Finally, industry has a responsibility to inform the
public of what new technologies do, as well as about their positive and negative
effects on travel risk.

Final Workshop
The Final Workshop of the ASSET-Road project took place on 12th October 2011 in
Raubling near Rosenheim (Germany). As highlight the three major test sites of the
project were presented by the responsible project partners on one occasion and at
one place. This offered all interested parties the opportunity to learn about and
discuss the project achievements and results.
A shuttle service to the German test site on the A8, which is only 9 km away, was
established by the project partner IMB. VTT took their mobile Finnish test site to
Raubling and had demonstrations on the premises of the venue. And project
partner UBM equally presented the developed applications of the French test site
(see invitation to the event below).

Website Updates
Website Updates
The ASSET-Road Website: www.project-asset.com was updated in several
iterations during the project until end of 2011. Different public videos and films from
international TV stations and flyers from the different test sites were included. The
recommendations of the EC expressed during the final audit in 2011 were
considered by including a public deliverable and a list of the main important
innovations of the ASSET-Road Project.

Conclusions
Conclusions
Within the framework of the ASSET-Road project a great number of well prepared
and well attended events, workshops, TV video presentations and meetings took
place in which the work of the project partners and the results of the project have
been presented and discussed.
However, the different kinds of events had a different degree of success:
The usual, conventional way of exchanging information and knowledge,
inviting a greater number of experts and scientists working more or less on a
similar topic to an event which takes place in connection with another contentrelated conference or congress, has not led to the desired effect in this case.
Often the number of invited guests and the number of those participating
diverged greatly. The explanation may be that there is obviously an excess
supply of such events for researchers and certain saturation may have been
reached. Thus, invitations which do not directly match one’s own focus of
interest are not considered any more.
authorities, e.g. the user group meeting in Budapest, attracted at least more
guests than participant ASSET-Road partners.
However, the opening events of the German test site and the Finnish test site met
great response. They also arouse intense media interest since traffic flow
monitoring tools for the police forces have been developed and provided within the
framework of the project. Such events are always attractive for the audience and
very interesting for the general public as each road user may be concerned. If even
politicians or other public figures can be won and will participate, the attractiveness
of the event especially for the press rises considerably.
A very successful International cooperation between the ASSET-Road partners,
ministries, industry and administrations could be established in conjunction with
many different national and international workshops.
Tanzania (very successful with several contracted consulting studies and
further and ongoing cooperation)
India (conference in 11/2011 with the road administration and ITS India)
Hungary (cooperation concerning a integrated test station in preparation)

Conclusions
Austria (cooperation concerning a integrated test station in preparation)

future.

Poliisi ottaa tehokkaamman valvontalaitteiston käyttöön
Tiivistelmä:
Poliisi ottaa käyttöön entistä tehokkaamman ja monipuolisemman
valvontalaitteiston. Laitteistolla voidaan tarkkailla muun muassa ajonopeuksia,
turvavöiden käyttöä, turvavälejä ja päästöjä. VTT:n erikoistutkija Matti Kutila
selittää laitteiden tarkan toiminnan MTV3:n Kymmenen Uutisissa. VTT arvioi,
että Etelä-Suomen alueen teiden valvonnassa tarvittaisiin noin
kolmisenkymmentä laitteistoa.

Laitteisto mittaa myös ajoneuvojen turvaväliä, ympäristöpäästöjä ja tien
pinnan liukkautta. Poliisi testaa laitteistoa, ja testivaiheen ja poliisin ylijohdon
hyväksynnän jälkeen se voidaan ottaa valvontakäyttöön. Testilaitteisto on osa

Perävaunupoliisi valvoo myös turvavälejä ja turvavöiden käyttöä
Tiivistelmä:
Hervannassa esiteltiin torstaina VTT:n kehittämää siirrettävää
valvontayksikköä, joka tulee nyt poliisin koekäyttöön. Peräkärryyn sijoitetut
kamerat ja tietokoneet valvovat nopeutta, turvavöiden käyttöä ja autojen
turvavälejä, keräävät tietoja keliolosuhteista ja liikenteen päästöistä.
Viimeisen kymmenen vuoden aikana turvavöiden käyttö olisi pelastanut yli
puolet henkilö- ja pakettiautoissa kuolleista. Aamulehti kertoo myös
tulevaisuuden visioista. Tulevaisuudessa autot rakennetaan niin, että ne
noudattavat nopeusrajoituksia ja muita sääntöjä automaattisesti. Lisäksi auto
tarkkailee kuljettajaa, eikä anna väsyneen tai rattijuopon lähteä liikenteeseen.

ja langattomaan verkkoyhteyteen perustuva laitteisto on sijoitettu
perävaunuun. Valvontatieto kootaan yhteiseen tietokantaan, jossa se on
poliisin, tieoperaattoreiden ja ympäristöviranomaisten käytössä. Tietokanta on
suojattu palomuurein ja teknisin ratkaisuin. Testivaiheen jälkeen laitteisto
voidaan siirtää perävaunusta poliisin ajoneuvoihin. VTT:n arvion mukaan
teknologia voisi olla tuotantokäytössä vuonna 2013.

Annex 3:
Comme de nombreuses écoles d’ingénieur, l’Université de technologies de
Belfort Montbéliard (UTBM) participe régulièrement à des projets européens de
recherche. Une partie de l’équipe du laboratoire « systèmes et transports » était
hier au conseil général du Territoire de Belfortpour lancer les tests de terrain de
son prototype, réalisé dans le cadre du projet européens Asset-road, destiné à
améliorer la sécurité routière.
« Avec dix-huit autres universités et entreprises de dix pays européens, nous
travaillons à des technologies destinées à sécuriser les routes et les véhicules,
explique Maxime Wack, professeur à l’école d’ingénieurs. À l’UTBM, nous
travaillons à un ordinateur intégré aux véhicules qui analyserait l’activation du
système d’antiblocage des roues de la voiture, et préviendrait les autres
automobilistes du danger de glissade sur la chaussée. »
Ainsi l’ordinateur analyse la mise en route du système ABS, qui empêche à la
voiture de glisser, et envoie un message à une centrale via internet. La centrale
traite l’information et la renvoie aux voitures circulant aux alentours de la zone
glissante, équipées du même appareil, afin de les prévenir du danger.
Le laboratoire « systèmes et transports » a effectué les deux tiers du projet et a
terminé la plupart des études théoriques. Hier, il a commencé les tests sur le
terrain, avec la participation du conseil général du Territoire.
« Les technologies que l’UTBM développe sont intéressantes pour le conseil
général, qui gère l’équipement et l’entretient des routes, explique Yves
Ackermann, président de l’assemblée départementale. Elles peuvent permettre
d’accroître la sécurité du personnel, mais aussi l’information à la population.

réel des chasse-neige, nous pourrions informer les citoyens qui nous appellent
pour demander quand leur rue sera dégagée. »
Les collaborateurs européens étaient conviés aux premiers tests de terrain, mais
la neige a rendu les déplacements compliqués. « On voit bien les habitudes des
Européens. Les Nordiques, habitués à la neige, comme les Finlandais ou les
Allemands, sont venus sans aucun problème, raconte Maxime Wack. En
revanche, les Méditerranéens n’ont pas pu se déplacer. »
Les ambassadeurs allemands ont profité du voyage pour montrer leur travail. Ils
mettent par exemple au point des capteurs de chaleur positionnés au bord des
routes. Ils permettent de détecter les essieux de camions en surchauffe qui
montrent un dysfonctionnement au niveau des freins.

Asset Road - effizient und automatisch
12.10.11|Bayern
Raubling/A8 - Nicht nur Temposünder, sondern auch überladene Lkw sollen in
Zukunft automatisch erfasst werden. Das Projekt ist vorerst auf der A8 geplant.
Projektkoordinator Walter Maibach:
Verkehrsverstöße während der Fahrt erfassen – das sei das Ziel des europäischen
Asset Road-Forschungsprojektes, so der Projektkoordinator Walter Maibach bei der
Präsentation der Forschungsergebnisse bei der Verkehrspolizei in Raubling.
Das Asset Road-Forschungsprojekt beinhaltet eine spezielle Messanlage auf der A8
Richtung München, kurz vorm Parkplatz „Am Moos“.
Dabei wird das Gewicht jedes fahrenden Lkw gemessen und automatisch
weitergeleitet. Die Rosenheimer Verkehrspolizei hingegen legt den Fokus weniger
auf die Automatisierung, als auf eine ganzheitliche Kontrolle.
Dazu gehören auch Lenkzeiten des Fahrers und der Zustand des Lkw allgemein.
