Support of the “Observatory of Road Networks of Western Greece and the Peloponnese” 

Olympia Odos supports the operation of the “Observatory of Road Networks of Western Greece and the Peloponnese”. 

The Observatory constitutes a strategic tool, which with documented scientific methodology and modern geographic information systems (GIS, geodatabase etc.) collects and processes data, and then provides systematic and reliable information services on the state of the areas affected by the operation of major infrastructure projects.

Of particular interest in the Observatory’s research is the study of the phenomenon of social exclusion, poverty and inequality, along with the development of accessibility in the region, business mobility, the impact on real estate, the tourist/rural development, etc.

Olympia Odos is a member of the organization “HELLASTRON” (HELLENIC ASSOCIATION of TOLL ROAD NETWORK), which was established in late 2014 with the participation of all modern motorways and tolled infrastructures operating in Greece.

The association was created with the overall aim of promoting road transport in Greece and, in this context, it seeks among others:

• the continuous improvement of road infrastructures and the services provided to users
• the promotion of road safety
• the promotion of research on transport issues through partnerships with relevant Bodies and Institutes in Greece and abroad
• the development of the science of construction and management of road infrastructures, the development of skilled and informed personnel, and the exchange relevant know-how
• the participation in the corresponding organizations in Europe and worldwide

So far we have worked in a number of actions and programs to promote awareness and education in road safety, along with the firm support of the Institute. From the first day of operation of the concession project, we have partnered with IOAS to promote road safety in our country.
