3. INTEGREEN: Project overview
EU-Project in the Life+ Programm
Duration: 1/9/2011 – 28/2/2015
Partner:
Municipality of Bolzano (IT) (Coordinator)
TIS innovation park (IT)
AIT Austrian Institute of Technology (AT)
Total Budget: 1.311.810 € (ca 46,8% LIFE+ contribution)
Objective: improvement of traffic management strategies by
combined traffic and environmental measurement with stationary
and mobile sensors.
Implementation area : Vienna (AT) and Bolzano city (IT)

4. INTEGREEN: Motivations & objectives
The starting point:
Environmental impact
produced by urban traffic
Seasonal traffic flows peaks
from ext. centroids
Krems, 22/05/2014 International Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government 2014 3

5. INTEGREEN: Content objectives
Technological dimension:
•«Environmental» traffic management
demonstration
•Enhanced traffic / air pollution
monitoring system
•Environmental-oriented traffic policies
testing (with impact assessment)
Social component:
•Awareness-raising about
environmentally-travelling
and driving for smart multi-
modality
EU component:
•Share INTEGREEN as a
«environmental» traffic
management best-practice

6. Technology objectives
The INTEGREEN project
From a technical point of view, the
novelty if INTEGREEN is the
combined use of fixed stations
and probe vehicles for the
detection of traffic and air
pollution levels.
Mobile air pollution
measurements system is the
most challenging part of the
project (covered by AIT).

7. Technical assessment (high-level architecture)
Traffic management center
Data sources layer: several
components gather (raw) data
from available systems
Data center layer: data-types
are stored and information
extraction processes are
executed
Front-ends layer:
data/information are released
to service providers

8. Technical assessment (high-level architecture)
Data flow
Vehicle data-source: one of
the input sources to the
supervisor center
Vehicle front-end: local
server for collection of mobile
data
Wireless Communication:
Real-time sensor-data is sent
to server at regular intervals
Mobile probes: vehicles
equipped with the
INTEGREEN-mobile system

9. Technical assessment (technological level)
99
Design with FRAME
Requirements have been mapped
into a FRAME architecture. The
outputs represent an input for the
detailed design activities covered in
the Design Action.
Specific functions in FRAME
cover Environmental and Traffic
Management Issues.

10. Technical assessment (technological level)
Block diagram of the mobile system
Embedded sensor modules:
• Monitoring of Traffic data
• Monitoring of Environmental
data
HMI: data from the management
center is processed
Telematic + Communication
Unit: Real-time transmission of
data

11. Technical assessment (design & implementation)
On-board measurement systems
On-board environmental monitoring unit
(Air-flow control, air pollution sensors: NO2,
O3; position data)
On-board traffic monitoring unit
(CAN-data; IMU-data; position data)
Krems, 22/05/2014 International Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government 2014 10

12. Technical assessment (technological level)
Mobile measurement results:
Test drives in Vienna and
Bolzano
Use cases:
• Measurement on urban
roads
• Measurement on
highways
• Measurement near fixed
air quality stations
Presentation of measured
data in different colors (red
is still green)

13. Social assessment (impact level)
Awareness-raising campaign & networking
Awareness-raising campaing: need to focus to very specific focus
groups that could act as natural «mulitpliers» of the concept
conveyed by INTEGREEN
High and
primary schools
Professional
drivers Tourists
Citizens’ «models»
Social activities have a fundamental importance in order to put the premises
for structural changes in the targeted scenario and to give other decision-
makers the basis to replicate the INTEGREEN approach in other similar
environments.
Objectives of this parallel activities have been specifically consolidated in the
dissemination plan defined at the project’s start.
