Providing a Safer, More Convenient Automated Highway
The freeway traffic control system conforms to the related freeway protocol standards issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), and keeps traffic control officers informed of the latest road conditions with the dynamic monitor platform of the central system. Freeway road network traffic information can be effectively integrated to achieve overall coordination of traffic operations and management, and it can provide road users with more up-to-date, convenient and diverse traffic information, to improve the vehicle operation efficiency and road safety.
Functions
The system architecture is divided into data collection, information processing and information dissemination modules.
- Data Collection
- Data Processing
Central computer analyzes, processes and stores collected data to database based on data type and further develops transport strategy. Sub-functions are described as follows:
- Automatic incident detection
- Response plan
- Travel time calculation
- Route guidance
- Data dissemination
- Data dissemination
- Schematic diagram of the incident detection system
- Schematic diagram of incident response plan
- Schematic diagram of steering control information network
- Schematic diagram of releasing travel time
Features
