Connected and Adaptive Maintenance for Safer Urban and Secondary Roads
CAMBER aims to develop and demonstrate improved safety monitoring across urban and secondary rural road networks by using real-time data to inform road maintenance systems and implementing cost-effective, proven interventions.
Performance metrics derived from next-generation data sources will provide road managers with up-to-date information on safety issues, road damage, and maintenance or upgrade needs. Data from telematics, vehicle and smartphone sensors, and road user feedback will inform safety assessment models, identifying necessary measures to ensure safe roads for all users, including minority groups with specific design needs, such as powered two-wheelers (PTW).
CAMBER will address these challenges through research and testing of cost-effective safety interventions and low-impact maintenance techniques, including those tailored for vehicles with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). These approaches will be demonstrated across urban and rural road networks in five European countries (Greece, Portugal, the Netherlands, Croatia and Spain). CAMBER’s economically viable solutions and new insights will be shared through established networks to guide European road managers, policymakers, and industry in making informed decisions and investments for safer, more efficient road maintenance.

Components
There is no single ‘silver bullet’ or one-size-fits-all solution which can address the safety and maintenance challenges facing road managers.
For this reason, the CAMBER project focuses on five priority ‘components’.
01. Safety-integrated maintenance systems and processes
02. New-generation data source
03. Digital twins
04. ADAS performance
05. Low-cost safety interventions
