2023 Sep. : The second of two promotional video is issued, focusing on the developed digital platform and software tools. The video, hosted on YouTube, showcases the platform's key features and functionalities.  

2023 Sep. : The first of two promotional video is issued, focusing on the developed project technologies and processes. The video, hosted on YouTube showcases the project's key technologies on traffic monitoring and pavement assessment, highlighting/annotating related processes.  

2023 Aug. : Site surveys of roadway pavements are in full swing. By August 2023, 159 trips were taken, of total distance 1458 km in Lakatamia's roadway network. The surveys produced about 1650x10^3 raw points (classified and aggregated in about 60x10^3 GPS points), processed by RONDA's webDSS into street, segment and municipality level aggragations, dynamically mapped in RONDA's webGIS, and served to users through RONDA's UI, dashboards and APIs. 

2023 Mar. : Following several successful field trials, the manufacturing of additional RONDA sensor devices has begun. Delivery is expected by June 2023. 

2023 Feb. : Video and data transfer from the new-generation RONDA sensor device to the RONDA platform and webGIS have successfully been tested. 

2023 Jan. : A 3rd generation sensor-device has been manufactured and set on field-trials. Further to sensor and communications hardware improvements, the device provides additional functionality and UI experience. 

2022 Dec. : RONDA's command center is taking shape, as UCY installs and activates the first two large screens (of a 2x2 video wall) to serve as the project's window to its data and software applications. Dashboards, apps, and APIs are all in continuous development and testing. 

2022 Nov. : The RONDA project took center stage at the Center of Entrepreunership's (C4E) '7th Innovation & Entrepreneurship Forum - The Curious Entrepreneur' (IEF2022). 

2022 Jun. : RONDA's web portal and webGIS user interface (UI) start taking shape, for both traffic and roadway condition assessment. The UI shows both video and charts of key performance indices (KPI) for traffic metrics (speed, vehicle type, direction, etc.) and pavement condition classes.  

2022 Apr. : The surveys on roadway condition assessment and the field-testing of RONDA sensor devices continue, in several test configurations. 

2022 Mar. : The work on aerial traffic monitoring (by use of drones and machine vision) is in full swing, with several site surveys contacted. Gathered video and data (raw and processed) are automatically uploaded to the RONDA server, to be served to its portal through APIs and the webGIS application. 

2021 Feb. : The project's python- and sql-driven web portal has been initiated. The portal shall serve as the project's webGIS, webDSS and API, and provide real-time connectivity to other national platforms. 

2020 Apr. : Field trials of a first RONDA sensor-device prototype to soon begin on the streets of Lakatamia. The probe-vehicle will have the sensor device installed at its front half, and a connected camera at the rear bumper. 

2020 Mar. 24 : 'RONDA' issues a schematic of the system's proposed architecture. Technical specifications and data flows will be released by the end of April 2020.  

2020 Mar. 01 :  A highly motivated and research-oriented individual is sought for immediate employment on funded project pertaining to the development of GIS/DB-based and sensor-complemented transport analytics platform which will serve as a national decision support system. Further to working in a multidisciplinary team of engineers and software developers for the development and implementation of the platform, the successful individual will liaise with the consortium partners and public agencies on several aspects related to the platform in development.  

2019 Nov. 21 : 'RONDA' kicks off, with an inagaural consortium meeting at the University of Cyprus. Several outstanding pieces of the 'RONDA' puzzle have been put into place and the consortium is ready to proceed.
