Abstract
The purpose of this work is to describe the development of the VISIT methodology (Visual Inspection for Safety deficit Identification and Triage) and illustrate the first prototypal tests on a real case of the computerized inspection system. The tests were organized at the University of Udine – SPRINT-Lab Safety and Protection Intersectoral Laboratory, and took place on the SS13 “Pontebbana”, a key connection road in the North-Est of Italy. This work illustrates how the new developed VISIT tools permit to acquire and manage the inspection data, in order to process and summarize them in a standardized way for a situational overview dashboard of the National Agency for Safety of Railway and Road Infrastructures (ANSFISA). The VISIT methodology aims to highlight the need for improving road infrastructures safety by the managing entities. The results of the prototype tests were positive. Therefore, the project moved on to the subsequent phases, which will allow the definition of the supervision and intervention request strategies in a contextualized manner, through a unique and innovative system. This system will support ANSFISA in its objectives of vigilance aimed at improving the levels of safety and regularity of road traffic on the Italian network.
