Road Safety Enhancement

Road Barriers, eco-sustainable and performing

AISICO has conducted analyses and in-depth studies on issues related to improving road safety, with a particular focus on measurement systems and energy absorption criteria in the event of a collision. As part of its research activities, it contributed to the definition of technical parameters for motorcycle safety barriers, crash cushions, and railway noise barriers, while also considering the use of thermoplastic materials—including those derived from recycling—and evaluating production methods such as thermoforming and 3D printing.

Virtual Crash Tests for the Safety of Next-Generation Vehicles

Digital Platform, Road Safety Barrier, and Machine Learning

Next-generation vehicles necessitate improved safety for road users and require a revision of the UNI EN 1317 standard for the certification of road restraint systems. These factors have given AISICO new impetus to develop virtual crash test models using artificial intelligence techniques capable of analyzing vehicle impact tests on road safety barriers with test parameters different from those of the standard, as well as evaluating the containment class of the barriers through the assignment of a star rating.

Digital ecosystem for predictive maintenance of critical transport infrastructure

Digital Platform and Artificial Intelligence

The DIPM project responds to the need of the market for the maintenance of critical transport infrastructures (motorways, bridges, viaducts and tunnels) to implement a predictive maintenance tool based on Artificial Intelligence techniques, an integrated multi-sensor platform and a web platform.

R&D Projects

PDMI

Multimedia Integrated Dynamometric Platform

Platform for the measurement of forces transmitted by metal road safety barriers (guard-rails) for bridge edge during the qualification impact and experimental verification by means of impact simulator with finite element models.

    Experimental products

    Processing of thermoplastic composite materials for the infrastructural and road safety sector.

      BARRIER QUALIFIER

      Technological platform to validate the functionality of road safety barriers and verify its behavior in case of impact through the use of software, simulations and FEM models of barrier/ground interaction.

        EVEREST

        Efficient Virtual Vehicle Crash Test

        A digital platform for assessing the severity of impacts involving next-generation vehicles against road safety barriers through the use of virtual crash test models (VTMs) and artificial intelligence techniques capable of analyzing test scenarios beyond those specified by the UNI EN 1317 standard and determining the barrier’s containment class by assigning a star rating. The project was funded by the Abruzzo Region under the ERDF 2021-2027.

          DIPM - Digital Infrastructure Predictive Maintenance

          The DIPM ecosystem is centred on a Machine Learning (ML) model integrated in a digital platform that detects the functional and performance conditions of the main components of the critical transport infrastructure (road pavement, vertical signalling, road safety barriers and the structures of the works of art) and quantifies them through KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). The model is able to distinguish the efficient state from the anomalous one (anomaly detection) and to monitor the evolution of degradation in order to estimate the residual life of the RUL (Remaining Useful Life) component. DIPM was funded under the Ecosystem Vitality call by EU Next Generation.
