SURVEY

Siteco is at the top of the list for the Research in region of Emilia-Romagna

Siteco project for expanding the functionalities of the high-efficiency Road-Scanner vehicle, resulted to be first on the list of PRIITT (Program for the Research, Innovation, and Technology Transfer). Aim of the study is the production of a ‘mobile multipurpose laboratory’ for the environment and land survey. It will allow Siteco to enrich the functionalities of the Road-Scanner system created in 2005 and already used for surveying over 20,000 km of roads, in our country and abroad. Some very innovative aspects, such as the topography precision level, the environmental monitoring and the road pavement analysis will be analyzed thanks to the contribution of the university of Bologna and of LASIM (Laboratory for Information Technology applied to  mobile systems). The system will integrate various already in-use instruments with some new acquisitions: GPS, inertial platform, profilometer, cameras, laser-scanner, GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar), besides some environmental sensors (to register, for instance, the pollution level).

SURVEY

Road-Scanner reaches Paris

Siteco carries out an experimental project for the Road Network Department of the Paris township. A laser-scanner mobile system is used to survey the roads of the Montparnasse district. The "clouds of points" generated by the system and the geo-referenced images are integrated with the AutoCAD environment.

ROAD ASSET

Start-up of the survey of 9,600 km roads in the province of Tuscany

About the end of 2008, RTI, together with Siteco as group leader, awarded the contract of € 2,450,000 for the “Asset of the regional and provincial roads of Tuscany”.  The survey with the high-efficiency vehicle started in June after the closure of all bureaucratic formalities.

EVENTS

Joined presentation with the Road Network Department of Veneto Strade of the road regional survey project  Siteco presents the road asset and the informative road system developed for Veneto Strade SpA, the company managing the regional road asset. The event is organized by STR Spa, one of the companies of the Group Sole24 ore. It will be held on May 26 in Mestre, near Venice and on May 28 in Milan.

TEST

Successful test of the survey for the region of Piedmont

After 2 years of work, the first project of road asset on a regional scale has been completed with successful results. The last testing phase has been carried out by Professor Mr. Cina of Polytechnic of Turin. It concerned the test on the survey of the 5% of the total distance of 2,239 kilometers. Find more details in the article  of the review Le Strade published in May.

EXIBITION

Siteco presents the Road-Scanner at SPAR 2009, Denver, Colorado                                                                 

Mr. Burchi, CEO of Siteco, will present the Road-Scanner at the fair of SPAR 2009, Denver, Colorado. This is the most important international conference on 3D laser-scanners, mobile surveys & mapping systems. In his intervention, Mr. Burchi will highlight all the innovations implemented by Siteco on the high-efficiency vehicle, and, in particular, in the survey of 2,000 km of roads in the region of Veneto. For more detail, see:  http://sparllc.com/spar2009/timetable/spar2009timetable.html

EVENTS

Convention on the Expropriations at SITECO held by Professor Mr. Brioli - Teacher at the University of Bologna Siteco makes a demonstration of Espro-SIT, an application for the management of the expropriations. The seminar is held on March 5 at Siteco offices in Bologna, Via della Salute 14, 9:30 am.

SURVEY

New IXSEA technology on the Road-Scanner vehicle

Siteco scanner announces the adoption of the French positioning system IXSEA for its high-efficiency road-scanner vehicle. After three years since the company entry into the road asset survey sector, it has reached a notable technological improvement with the adoption of the new GPS inertial positioning system, produced by the French company IXSEA (www.ixsea.fr).

Since a long time IXSEA is a global leader in the sector of high technology inertial platforms for the defense, and in the one of sea and aeronautical survey systems. IXSEA gyroscopes in optical fiber guarantee a control of the drift, lower than 0.01° per hour, i.e. 20 times more accurate than the traditional mechanical gyroscopes. The new LANDINS model for the land survey, equipped with a double-frequency GPS receiver, assures an absolute precision lower than 30 cm, even with a 2-minute outage of GPS signal. It is possible to get a 1000-Hz survey sampling for a geo-referenced scanning with a 10-time higher precision than the previous system.

TENDERS

Award of the tender for the Emilia Romagna region for the management of the road accidents

Starting from the INCI-WEB system, already developed for the province of Bologna, Siteco will produce MIStER, a regional information system for the census of the road accidents. It will consist of a set of web-based applications that allow the input of all the statistical data by ISTAT (the national statistics board) and the relating assessment by the security forces. Developed for the Regional Observatory for the Road Safety that operates with ISTAT, this system will be accessible to all the regional police centers and connected with all other systems already in use in the observatories of the province.

RESEARCH

Siteco collaboration to the project ‘Industria 2015’
Together with a group of companies leaded by Metasystem, Siteco has taken part in the PEGASUS project, already approved and financed for €18 Million.  This project is part of the financing for the technological innovation of Industrial 2015.
Siteco will develop applications and instruments for the census and the survey of the road accidents, with the aim of making the date collection more efficient and of streamlining both workflow and the data exchange.

All information will be used in a wider context of research aiming at the innovation and the industrial development in the road safety field, making the most of telecommunication and information management.

GLOBAL
SERVICE

Siteco for the global service: Township of Faenza

Thanks to the collaboration with ATI, awarder of the contract of Global Service for the road assets of the township of Faenza, Siteco has been entrusted with the development of a project for the integrated management of roads and buildings. In partnership with STR SpA of the Group Sole24Ore and Abaco srl of Mantua, Siteco will develop a GIS-based platform to manage the processes relating to maintenance and contracts, starting from the data surveyed by the township and the road asset.
