The full recording of our joint online workshop with our sister Horizon Europe projects EvoRoads and CAMBER, “Innovative digital twin solutions for enhanced Road Asset & Safety Management” (23 September 2026), is now on the iDriving YouTube channel. Watch all three presentations and the discussion that followed, or use the chapters below to go straight to the part you are interested in.
What you will see
A road digital twin is a virtual model of the road, kept up to date with data from several sensing technologies. It lets road authorities measure safety as conditions change, test measures before building them and plan maintenance in a more proactive way. In this workshop, the three projects presented their approaches side by side.
iDriving: from detection to safety alerts
Thomas Bapaume (Université Gustave Eiffel) showed how the iDriving digital twin turns data from drones, ground cameras and city sources such as weather and traffic into action. Risky situations are detected and fed into a traffic simulation, which forecasts where risks are likely to appear. The results reach road users through variable message signs and mobile or in-vehicle alerts, and traffic managers through a control-centre application. He used the Graz pilot as an example of how the model is calibrated with real traffic data.
EvoRoads: a shared digital twin platform and the Turin pilot
Federico Princiotto (LINKS Foundation) presented the EvoRoads digital twin, a shared platform that connects the project’s pilots, AI models and dashboards through a common data model, with raw data kept locally. He explained the three scenarios of the Italian pilot in Turin (pedestrian crossing behaviour, road defect detection and red-light crossings) and shared practical lessons on data schemas, permits and data protection.
CAMBER: testing road safety measures in a driving simulator
Bernard Kosovec (Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb) explained how CAMBER recreated a hazardous rural curve on Croatian state road DC48 in a driving simulator to compare low-cost road-marking treatments with 77 participants. Based on the results, a red anti-skid surface has been laid on a real curve, and a before-and-after field study will check whether the benefits hold up on the road.

Working together with EvoRoads and CAMBER
iDriving, EvoRoads and CAMBER are all funded under Horizon Europe and share one goal: safer urban and secondary roads through better monitoring and maintenance. The workshop is part of a wider collaboration that also includes a joint session at the 17th ITS European Congress in Istanbul and regular exchanges between the projects.
