The PRIME project aimed to contribute to traffic management and road safety in the EU by providing innovative and improved IT tools for incident management. The new methods built on those days achievements in incidentmanagement and road emergencies from the project In-Response.

Objectives
  • Develop methods for estimating the probability of incidents or congestion in real time
  • Improve systems for detecting and verifying incidents
  • Integrate motorway and urban-network incident management strategy aspects.

Key work packages in developing PRIME were:

  • WP 3 - Identifying the user needs and design targets, reviewing existing technologies and developing the scenarios for testing.

  • WP 4 - Developing an ITS Architecture and System Design derived from the User Needs. The output of this phase includes functional specifications, information structure and data flow together with specifications for input, output, external interfaces and internal processing.

  • WP 5 - Implementing the architecture as prototype components, developing the required databases, laboratory testing and partial integration of the components.

  • WP 6 - Installing and testing the components to assess the functional and technical performance of the prototype. This activity included the development of integration rules, development and usage o

 The PRIME ITS Architecture specifies real-time services to detect or estimate the probability of road traffic incidents, verify an incident has actually taken place and determine an appropriate response. The services were integrated and, as far as possible, automated to improve the effectiveness of the total Incident Management process.  The system comprises of two products that allow modular migration from the recognition phase of the Incident Management Process to containment and mitigation of the effects:

I.  PDV/SYSTEM includes 3 components:

    PRIME brings improvements to the operations of incident and traffic management centres. It provides their operators with less costly and more practical management methods and more reliable, timely and comprehensive information.
    This increases the effectiveness of deployed integrated traffic management strategies, improve traffic flow and enhance road safety for drivers.
