About the project
Imagine a world where roads are always in exquisite condition, maintenance works are quick and efficient, driving is safe and uninterrupted, and all of this is achieved with the help of robots and other innovative technologies. This is exactly what the OMICRON partners envisaged and aimed to accomplish. The project helped to build the future of safer, quicker and more efficient road infrastructure with the help of state-of-the-art technologies. Industry-leading partners from 7 European countries joined forces to make these goals possible.
Most of the European road network was constructed between 1960 and 1970, and was designed for a working life of 50 years. This means that our roads are outdated. In the coming years, large interventions will be necessary since the road network is aged and road infrastructure investment will need to focus on smart solutions for road asset maintenance. We need technologies that are quick, efficient, safe and reliable. OMICRON provides a portfolio of solutions that fulfil all these criteria with the help of digital solutions, robots and other innovative and effective technologies.

OMICRON was a technology-focused project that combined the most modern automatised tools in a way that can be adapted and applied to specific local requirements. These technologies together were developed to create an Intelligent Road Asset Management Platform. The platform has four main focus areas:
OMICRON offers a complete solution for the transition to automatised road network construction, inspection and maintenance. This was ensured by our consortium where, among 16 partners, we count on research centres, universities, road constructors, robot engineers, bridge architects and civil engineering companies, to name just a few.
Impacts

Increased safety in road intervention actions for road users and personnel
Overall reduction of maintenance costs
More efficient road intervention processes and reduction of traffic disruptions
Increase of road network capacity
