NTUA – Telematics boosting mobility behaviour Workshop, Athens, November 2023

The NTUA Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering organised with great success a Scientific Workshop titled “Telematics boosting mobility behaviour” which took place at the NTUA Campus in Athens on November 22nd, 2023. The rapid spread of innovative technologies in the field of telematics creates new opportunities to monitor, evaluate and improve driver behaviour through feedback tools, providing incentives to drivers for safer and greener behaviour, with spectacular results. During this workshop, the new interactive SafeRoadsMap tool for safe and green travelling in Greece was released.

Invitation to NTUA – Telematics boosting mobility behaviour

In the framework of the closing of the SmartMaps project, the NTUA Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering is organising a Scientific Workshop titled “Telematics boosting mobility behaviour” which will take place at the NTUA Campus in Athens on November 22nd, 2023. The rapid spread of innovative technologies in the field of telematics creates new opportunities to monitor, evaluate and improve driver behaviour through feedback tools, providing incentives to drivers for safer and greener behaviour, with spectacular results. During this workshop, the new interactive SafeRoadsMap tool for safe and green travelling in Greece will be released.

ICTR2023 – Young Researcher Best Road Safety Paper Award

Dimitrios Nikolaou, NTUA PhD Candidate & Researcher, received the Young Researcher Best Paper on Road Safety Αward 2023 during the International Congress on Transport Research 2023. The Award is granted jointly by the Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT/CERTH) and the Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers (HITE). The award concerned the SmartMaps paper is titled: “Spatial analysis of telematics surrogate safety measures across road environments”, co-authored by Armira Kontaxi, Apostolos Ziakopoulos and George Yannis.

NTUA – Telematics and Driver Behaviour Workshop

The NTUA Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering organised with great success a Scientific Workshop titled “Telematics and Driver Behaviour” which took place in Athens on April 4th, 2023. Key driver telematics research findings were demonstrated and discussed, highlighting spectacular safety benefits from monitoring, evaluation and improvement of driver behaviour through feedback tools, social gamification schemes and motivation for drivers. The two SmartMaps presentations can be found bellow:

How does SmartMaps work?

The implementation of the SmartMaps project includes the use of numerous complementary high-resolution data. An integral part of the project will be the monitoring of drivers via smartphone sensors for the collection of daily naturalistic driving data under real conditions using the existing OSeven application. 

Subsequently, processing and analyses of the collected trip data will follow through the development of innovative machine learning and statistical models which will also include (i) traffic data, (ii) road geometry data and (iii) road accident data. A critical project stage is the validation of previous measurements and road conditions by conducting wide field research and population surveying. This will allow the extension of the analysis to areas with reduced trip/traffic data coverage and the final projection across Greece. 

SmartMaps Kick-off Meeting 

The Kick-off meeting of the SmartMaps research project was conducted online with great success, on 20 October 2021 aiming at initiating the project activities. During the SmartMaps kick-off meeting, partners had the chance to lay the ground for a successful and productive collaboration in order to meet the project objectives. Decisions on key issues were made and the first steps of the work were scheduled.
