iDRIVING

iDriving, funded by the Horizon Europe Programme, focuses on enhancing road safety and traffic management on urban and secondary roads across Europe. By integrating AI, digital twins, and real-time monitoring, the project develops intelligent, data-driven solutions for detecting hazards, optimizing maintenance, and improving vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.

Through a collaborative effort of 17 partners from 9 EU and 1 non-EU country, iDriving aims to set new safety standards, reduce accidents, and promote sustainable mobility. The project works closely with municipalities and policy-makers to ensure that its solutions address real urban challenges and support safer, smarter, and more resilient transport networks.

Our tasks:

• Development of a Safety Criteria Catalogue (SCC) for urban and secondary roads. The catalogue will build on EU road safety indicators and incorporate feedback from end-users to adapt them to real conditions.
• Developing a platform evaluation methodology assessing V2I communication, sensor performance, data accuracy, and user experience to ensure the system improves road safety.
• Testing real-time road monitoring systems in Karlovac (Croatia) and Thessaloniki (Greece) using UAVs, sensors, and AI analytics to detect hazards like potholes, obstructions, and severe weather.
• With the City of Thessaloniki, Use Case #2 showcases iDriving’s real-time monitoring and early hazard detection to improve infrastructure maintenance and road safety on urban and secondary roads.
