Autostrade per l’Italia, a leading European toll motorway concessionaire, faced the challenge of managing a complex infrastructure and vast amounts of data. To optimize highway operations, minimize traffic disruptions, and enhance safety, the company needed a comprehensive solution. The ASPI team turned to Spotfire visual data science to drive innovation throughout its operations. Read about some of their successes to spark your own digital transformation.
Gaining visibility into driving conditions
With a network spanning 3,000 km of motorways, 4,000 bridges and tunnels, and 2.5 million daily vehicles, Autostrade per l’Italia required a robust system for accessing and analyzing data. By uploading 20 years of traffic data into a data lake and integrating Spotfire dashboards, the company gained a comprehensive view of its operations.
“Drivers don’t want to meet traffic or have car crashes. So, we correlate information to help estimate the level of risk on the road with our accident ratio. We are investigating the key factors that grow the ratio, like the degree of highway curves. Basic information is now made scientific and ready for the company to use to drive decisions,” says Ruben Ganzaroli, Group Chief Data Officer at Autostrade per l’Italia.
Digital twins help predict the future
ASPI has harnessed the power of digital twins to create virtual replicas of its critical infrastructure, including tunnels and bridges. These digital twins provide real-time insights into the condition and performance of these assets, enabling proactive maintenance and risk mitigation. By simulating different scenarios and analyzing potential outcomes, ASPI can identify vulnerabilities and optimize its operations for maximum safety and efficiency.
