en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Spanish Road Association (Asociación Española de la Carretera), in collaboration with T-Systems, the digital services division of Deutsche Telekom, has launched the AECTech platform, aimed at creating the Road Data Space (Espacio de Datos de la Carretera) to support the digital transformation and data-driven evolution of the road industry. Roads remain a critical infrastructure for transportation, logistics, regional connectivity, and road safety.

The platform aims to promote a collaborative framework around road data, establishing clear rules on who can access information, for what purposes, under what conditions, and with what guarantees of security, traceability, and sovereignty. Its value is demonstrated through specific use cases, such as inventorying and characterizing infrastructure (horizontal signage, vertical signage, and beacons) to support autonomous driving.

Integrating data from inspections, maintenance, sensors, traffic, weather, or accidents helps predict when road surfaces will deteriorate faster, which structures require more monitoring, how to prioritize investments, and how to act before incidents escalate into safety, congestion, or service issues.

For public administrations and infrastructure managers, AECTech improves decision-making in areas such as conservation, maintenance, and investment, directly benefiting road safety. For concessionaires, operators, and maintenance companies, the platform enables predictive maintenance models and new user information services, enhancing service quality for citizens.

For technology companies, data providers, universities, research centers, and startups, AECTech offers a controlled environment to develop solutions, validate algorithms, and create services based on real industry data. Artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics, and digital twins can act as accelerators, helping identify patterns, simulate scenarios, optimize resources, and improve coordination among stakeholders.

AECTech aligns with European and Spanish national priorities. At the European level, public data spaces are part of the European Data Strategy (Estrategia Europea de Datos), aimed at making more information available to the economy and society while maintaining control for data generators; in Spain, this vision resonates with the push for a European public mobility data space and aligns with the direction of the Integrated Mobility Data Space (Espacio de Datos Integrado de Movilidad).
