ARMAS (Active Road Management Assisted by Satellite) is an ESA (European Space Agency) sponsored project in the area of road pricing and other ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) initiatives.

The project is currently in its third phase which includes working with parties such as the Dublin Transportation Office (road demand management trials), the Ministry for Transport, Public Works and Water in the Netherlands (congestion management) and motorway operators in Portugal (incident management).

Mapflow is responsible for the development of the road demand management application, map matching algorithms used in the ARMAS platform and the design and development of a low cost on-board-unit.

In November Mapflow will be hosting a one day workshop on road pricing and the ARMAS project in the National Concert Hall in Dublin. Please contact transport@mapflow.com for information on the event.

The CVIS (Co-operative Vehicle-Infrastructure Systems) project is a major European initiative to progress research in the development of technologies for car-to-car and car-to-roadside infrastructure communications. The project involves over 40 stakeholders from car manufacturers to technology developers and will include trials in several European countries.

Mapflow's role in the project is to provide a geo-spatial platform for the provision of maps, routes, geocodes, traffic information, etc.
