CycloMedia visualise all traffic signs in Flanders

Waardenburg, November 19, 2008 – Today the Flemish Minister of Mobility, Kathleen van Brempt, will give CycloMedia the signal to begin making an inventory of all the traffic signs in Flanders. After completing a successful pilot, CycloMedia has been chosen to visualise around 5 million traffic signs. At the end of August 2010 the Flemish government will have at its disposal a complete database of all Flanders’ traffic signs.

CycloMedia, as chief contractor, will execute the project together with partners DHV, Eurotronics and GlobeZenit. DHV, as a strategic partner, is responsible for the project management. CycloMedia will visualise around 60,000 kilometres of road using their unique recording technology. GlobeZenit is responsible for the structure of the traffic signs database and Eurotronics will deliver the software for traffic sign inventory and control and also an integrated user data retrieval system.

Starting point

The work begins with an inventory of the current situation. The position, type and size of all the traffic signs will be determined. The information from this initial database will contribute to a significant increase in traffic safety, ease the management and maintenance of traffic signs, reduce traffic inconvenience in the municipalities and serve as a basis for the design of logistical and traffic flow studies.

Rosatte: public – private cooperation for traffic safety in Europe

This traffic sign database is part of a umbrella European project, Rosatte. The aim is to establish an efficient and quality-ensured data supply chain from public authorities to commercial map providers such as Tele Atlas and Navteq, with regard to safety-related road content.

This Month's Burning Issue...
Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.
This month's burning issue:

How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.

During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
