Paves the way for smarter traffic Aventi is intensely involved in a groundbreaking project that is at the start of a revolution for safer and more intelligent traffic management. Norway with its mountains and fjords has some of the longest tunnels in the world, where vehicles on fire pose a high risk for travelers. Recently the Norwegian Government proposed new legislation requiring ITS to be an essential component in new road projects in order to address these issues. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) is paying close attention to the ITS standardisation work taking place in the EU, gradually incorporating the new standards into the technical specifications for Norwegian road projects. The project In doing so, the Roads Administration contacted ITS Norway to facilitate the implementation of an ITS roadside unit (RSU) based on the European ETSI EN 302 665 standard. The practical experience from this roadside unit will form the basis for a Technical Specification to be used in future public road projects. As a result of participation in ITS Arena (owned by ITS Norway) the three companies Aventi, Triona, and VisionTech reached an agreement with the Roads Administration to form a project consortium with partial funding from Innovation Norway – the Norwegian Government’s instrument for funding this kind of research and development projects for the common good. The roadside unit will be installed at the entrance of a tunnel, and a
couple of government cars will be equipped with corresponding onboard units (OBU). The consortium has split the project in three main parts: Visiontech developing an OPC-interface to the existing tunnel control system, Aventi implementing OBUs and RSUs for communication between vehicles and infrastructure, and Triona deploying databases and a Web server, providing information about cars in and near the tunnel. Permanent use Aventi displayed and demonstrated an early version of this system at the ITS Conference in Bordeaux. Later on, the system will be installed at a test road in Trondheim for approval by the the Roads Administration, before it is permanently installed at the entrance of a tunnel in Bodø. The the Roads Administration will then use the system to gain practical experience with this new technology and update their technical specifications accordingly. Based on this knowledge, a system of inter-linked C-ITS stations along most main roads and highways, collecting and sharing information, seems both effective and highly realistic in the immediate future. Such systems can provide all vehicles with necessary information enabling each driver to take necessary precautions with respect to traffic conditions, based on real-time data.

A modern highway, tunnels in particular, can be described as a high output data-source of voluminous proportions. Due to massive infrastructural needs and requirements for maintaining high levels of control, efficiency and safety, a modern tunnel system is equipped with surveillance (CCTV) cameras, sensors and control and routing systems, which all gather enormous amounts of raw data. As a leading system integrator, Aventi has been responsible for everything ranging from the programming to the manufacturing of equipment that translates analogue raw data into relevant IT information, hence securing a unique position as a provider (through customers) and facilitator for access to these data. Aventi wants to reach out to creative partners with the ability to utilise the previously existing information that is being generated within the systems that Aventi has created.
FACTS For the OBU and RSU we are using the EVK-3300 ITS V2X Evaluation Kit from Kapsch. The EVK-3300 is based on the ETSI EN 302 665 standard and supports CAM (Cooperative Awareness Message) and DENM (Decentralised Environmental Notification Message), communicated via ITS-G5 5.9 GHz vehicular ad hoc network radio communication. ZMQ (Zero Message Queue) is used as a transport mechanism for CAMs and DENMs on the infrastructure side, between the EVK-3300 and the Ubuntu Linux server. ZMQ is a very efficient open source message queue, used by CERN, NASA, and stock exchanges. On the server side, CAMs and DEMs are encoded and decoded in an ASN.1-PER format utilising software toolkits from OSS Nokalva. OPC data from the existing tunnel control system is translated into DENMs for traffic conditions and warnings and transmitted to vehicles in and near the tunnel. In addition, the server allows operators to generate other traffic-related DENMs. In each vehicle, the OBU displays the DENMs on an Android device (HTC Nexus) via Bluetooth. In addition, the OBU extracts vehicle data across the OBD-II interface. This data is embedded in CAMs and DENMs and transmitted to the RSU as well as transmitted to the OBUs in other cars.

Through practical experience from implementing the ETSI-ITS standards for the NPRA, Aventi has gained extensive knowledge about data exchange of CAM and DENM between vehicles and infrastructure, using hardware and software components from different vendors. Aventi is ready to share this knowledge with anyone pursuing the same technology. Our goal is to stimulate creative processes that ultimately will result in the development of new products and services that will make way for smarter and safer traffic in the future. To succeed in making such products and services, it is crucial that several areas of competence and disciplines work together, which is why we are searching for creative partners.

ROAD TUNNELS
Our projects
Norway’s most high-tech tunnel: Strindheim tunnel.
Aventi develops profitable solutions by combining knowledge and technology! Aventi has delivered numerous solutions to a broad variety of projects, mainly within the traffic and transport sector, but also to other industrial projects where control and surveillance are required. Some of our recent projects are high-profile projects with complex systems integration of thousands of sensors for surveillance and safety in road tunnels, railway tunnels and bridges.
The 2.5 km long tunnel is equipped with the latest technologies for monitoring and surveillance. Aventi has also delivered the systems that the Road Traffic Management Centre in Trondheim uses to maintain traffic flow, safety and the environment.
RAILWAY Aventi is supplying surveillance systems to the railway between Holm and Nykirke. The new track is 14.3 km long and over 12 km runs in a tunnel. It will be installed as a complete system with about 6,000 I/O controlled by 44 redundant Mitsubishi PLCs. The delivery also includes 14 robust operator panels for for local monitoring and control.
BRIDGES Norway’s second-longest suspension bridge: Hålogaland bridge. Aventi signed a contract with NRPA in the summer of 2015 to supply electrical work, installation and SRO surveillance for the bridge and adjoining roads and tunnels. Hålogaland bridge will be completed in 2017.
Reveals brake hazards Brake malfunction due to lack of maintenance or other errors represents a serious traffic safety hazard. In cooperation with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA), Aventi has developed a system that utilises heat detection cameras to scan vehicles. This technology makes it possible to detect high temperatures on various parts of the vehicle, such as the brake systems. Another important function of this technology is also discovering parts that could indicate malfunctions, due to unusually cooler heat signatures than normal. This could for instance indicate brake malfunction.
