Autostrade per l’Italia Group• Autostrade per l’Italia manage p g
2.854,6 km of toll motorway network in Italy
• 51% of Italian motorway network
• 14% of European toll motorway network
• 4 millions of people every day travel h d l’ l ktrough Autostrade per l’Italia network
• In 2009 more than 900 millions of vehicles moved along Autostrade per l’ItaliaIn 2009 more than 900 millions of vehicles moved along Autostrade per l Italia network, covering about 49.000 millions km:
• 18% of vehicles was motor truck
• 22% of km has been covered by motor truck
Operations management• Motorways Operations management guarantees the right management of motorwayy p g
network by controlling and coordinating the local sites (Regional Departments) In particular itmanages:

ASPI STRATEGY FOR Information and Awareness
ROAD SAFETY
R d f t i ti l t tRoad safety ‐main actions last ten yearsInfrastructure
• 81,8% of ASPI network covered with draining pavement
• 2.300 km of median strip barriers requalified
• 1.900 by‐pass on median strip barriers closed with fast opening systems
• Dissuasive signals installed on overall 266 exit, to prevent accesses in the wrong direction
• Work areas signals integrated
High accidents rate points (PISM)1.650 interventions on High accidents rate points (PISM) effectuated since 2002,obtaining a reduction of accidents of 50%
• 850 improvement interventions on standard signals
• 500 high impact signals interventions
• 75 high grip pavement interventions
• 225 interventions against wrong behaviors
Road safety ‐main actions since last ten yearsBehavior – Information and Awareness
• Safety Tutor: average speed control system (1st in Italy) that allows automaticsanctioning without Police patrol presence. Now more than 2.200 km of ASPInetwork are covered by Safety Tutor System (33% of ASPI network)
• “Mettici la testa”: a video awareness TV campaign on right driving behavior
• “Obiettivo sicurezza”: a brochure to discredit the principal wrong drivingbehavior (distributed in 3,5 millions of copies in 2008)
“Caffè Gratis di notte” 2 000 000 ff di t ib t d i th S i A• “Caffè Gratis di notte”: 2.000.000 coffees distributed in the Services Areas(Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 24 to 5 a.m.), to contrast accidents related tosleep (fatal accidents rate reduced of 50% in nightly time)
“G id ? N b ” 1 illi f l d b l di ib d d h• “Guido? Non bevo”: 1 million of colored bracelets distributed to advance themessage on driving risks related to alcohol consumption
The Safety Tutor ProjectHi‐tech system to average speed control:
• wide motorway sections
• very high precision
• consistent data and detailed information
ASPI covered network
• More than 2.200 km of ASPI network covered (33%)network covered (33%)
• 257 active portals on 11 different motorways
R l b id dResults about accidents on tutor covered network
• The results on Tutor covered network confirmed the forecasts about the project and theestimated reduction of the death rate
Aft it i t d ti th fi t 460 k th T t h t d th id t t f• After its introduction on the first 460 km, the Tutor has cut down the accidents rate of19% and the death rate of 51%

Speed control system on the motorway• System goal
T i th it l l f th t b f d li it t l• To increase the security level of the motorway by means of a speed limit controlsystem
• System functions• Data detection on all vehicles (plate vehicle class speed)• Data detection on all vehicles (plate, vehicle class, speed)• Automatic search of vehicle owner by means of the MTC Database• Automatic verification, and print of the speed limit violation• Automatic sent of the violation data to the Police server• Statistics analysis of data
• Speed measurement modes• Average speed. Calculate the average speed of vehicles on a motorway stretch
limited by two points• The stretch is measured with a laser odometer in order to minimize the error• Vehicle data (class, plates ) are read in the two points using an integratedsystem (loop detector camera ocr )system (loop detector, camera, ocr…)
• The travel time is calculated using two GPS‐Based timers• Instantaneous speed. Calculate the speed using the integrated system
Circuit tests ‐ High speed tests
Circuit tests ‐ Vehicle at 260 km/h
Motorway tests ‐ Florence west site
• Tests over 30.000 vehicles
• Classification error < 15%
• Plates recognition error < 10%
• Speed error < 3% (referred to a standard Autovelox)
Next stepsOur focus will be on driving behaviors
High speed Extension of ASPI motorway network covered by Safety Tutor System.
Alcohol
Increase of Police alcohol control and awareness of motor truck drivers.
From 2007, December, 100% of enterprises contending the “Foodservice”, adheres to Autostrade per l’Italia social responsibility protocol,th t t i f lthat contains, for examples:
• Prohibition of alcoholic drinks selling (*)
• Extension of “Caffè gratis di notte” campaign
• Increase of motor trucks parking areas
Sleep
p g
Work areasFurther improvement of planning tools and operations productivity
Further improvement of work areas signs
Next steps
We ask to national politic system …
Safety distancesNew standards that discipline the respect of safety distance and
Safety distancesallows the remote control and sanctioning
Controls on motorway Increase of Motorway Police resources
Foreign drivers …
