Summary
Operation of strategic importance (OSI) or above EUR 5 million
Project acronym: BEPROACT
Project ID: NWE0100057
Project start date: 2023-07-01
Project end date: 2027-06-30
Project status: ongoing
Relevant linked projects:
- NWE Interreg BE-GOOD (EN) | The Interreg B 2014-2020 Project BE-GOOD seized the potential of publicly available data. Through e.g. Big Data analyses, new services could be developed.
- BEPROACT will take those results into consideration especially through assessing the potential use of data analysis methodologies for the use in the pilot projects
- With regards to synergies, the project result of BEPROACT will also be made available to the BE-GOOD partners.
- See also Deliverable D 1.1.3 as a starting point for collaboration. (EN), Horizon2020 DUET (EN) | The HORIZON2020 project "DUET Digital Twins" provides virtual city replicas which make it easy to understand the complex interrelation between traffic, air quality, noise and other urban factors. Powerful analytics model the expected impacts of potential change to help city authorities make better evidence-based operational decisions and longer term policy choices.
- DUET was an award winning project on the "Smart city EXPO world congress" in Barcelona
- BEPROACT and the DUET Co-ordinating beneficiary will engage in a meeting to exchange on options to mutual learning, especially in the field of urban services (see BEPROACT pilot in Dublin City with regards to traffic management systems).
- See also Deliverable D 1.1.3 as a starting point for collaboration. (EN), Horizon2020 Polivisu (EN) | The Horizon2020 project PoliVisu stands for "Policy Development based on Advanced Geospatial Data Analytics and Visualisation". PoliVisu is a Research and Innovation project designed to evolve the traditional public policy making cycle using big data. The aim is to enhance an open set of digital tools to leverage data to help public sector decision-making become more democratic by (a) experimenting with different policy options through impact visualisation and (b) using the resulting visualisations to engage and harness the collective intelligence of policy stakeholders for collaborative solution development.
- As pointed out in Deliverable D 1.1.3, a joint meeting will be held to deepen mutual knowledge and to possibly plan joint cooperation. (EN), FEHRL-project: BD Pave Project (EN) | FEHRL’s (Forum of European National Highway Research Laboratories) Strategic European Road and cross-modal Research and implementation Plan 2017 – 2020 (SERRP) was published in 2017 and identified Big Data as a topic of importance for highway research in the future. A group of FEHRL members, supported by FEHRL’s Forever Open Road Programme Manager decided to explore the opportunities that big data could provide for road administrations in design, operation and management of the highway network. Eventually, it was decided to focus on road pavement deterioration, investigating ways to incorporate today’s measurement techniques and explore additional data sets that could be used, to better predict deterioration of road pavements, giving road administrations better asset condition data and enabling preventative maintenance to be undertaken.
- BASt have taken on the leadership of this group and will ensure the mutual exchange of knowledge (EN), Horizon2020 project AM4INFRA (EN) | Achieving a well integrated, optimal performing transport infrastructure network in Europe is a key element in the White Paper on Transport’s overall ambition for a single European Transport Area in 2050.
- The Coordination and Support Action AM4INFRA aims to overcome the legacy of European transport networks under which they have been developed incrementally (and mostly fragmented) over time within the specific setting of mode and country under various policies and service levels. Building on ongoing bottom-up actions, best practices and contemporary experiences of four National Infrastructure Agencies that are considered frontrunners in the development and application of asset management in their networks governance, it will deliver the first ever common European asset management framework approach that enables consistent and coherent cross-asset, cross-modal and cross-border decision making in the context of the White Paper on Transport.
- The exchange will focus especially on the transport related pilot projects.
- See also Deliverable D 1.1.3 as a starting point for collaboration. (EN), Research Initiative: Data enrichment cycle Mattioli et al. (2020): Artifical Intelligence Based Asset Management (EN) | The research was the basis for the development of the BEPROACT Data Enrichment Cycle that will be the strategic orientation framework, as described in WP1.
- The basic research paper of Mattioli et al. focused on the following. In a System Engineering perspective, asset management (AM) is related to a subset of techniques focusing on the in-service phase, aligned with product life-cycle management discipline. Today, within AM solution market, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technics above traditional enterprise solution is a key trend. The paper is focusing on how symbolic AI and data driven AI could improve some issues of the AM life cycle, in particular in asset acquisition, performance analysis and forecasting, asset monitoring, predictive and prescriptive maintenance, supply chain optimisation including spare parts management.
