Freeway Management System
Traffic Tech combines advanced technology and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in providing Freeway Management Systems that facilitate safe and efficient operations of a regional freeway infrastructure.
Freeway Management System includes technologies and systems
that help…
- Improve and control the flow of traffic.
- Provide advance information to motorists on accidents or road works.
- Aide the management of incidents and/or accidents.
- Reduce accidents by implementing systems that execute control of vehicle height and load limits.
Typical System Components
Fiber Optic System – IP Network
- Backbone of the entire system.
- Provides fast and high capacity data transmission to establish communication between all the components of the system.
System Control with User Friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Advanced Traffic Management Software with Graphical user interface (GUI) rich in image that facilitate operator task.
- System map with active icons that represent all the subsystems. Controls all of the system’s devices.
- Alarm panel – Traffic alerts & system faults.
- Incident / Accident monitoring and management.
Automatic Incident Detection Cameras
- Triggers an alarm to the system when it detects slow traffic movement, traffic flow in the wrong direction, close vehicle gaps, high speed differential or even unidentified objects on the road.
CCTV System – Video Surveillance
- Video over IP system.
- Provides real-time view of traffic on the freeway.
- These cameras are monitored from the system’s traffic control center to see how traffic is moving on freeways and identify trouble spots. If an accident happens on the freeway, operators can assess the scene and provide information to public safety and emergency crews.
Emergency Roadside Telephone
- With default dialing to the control center and emergency services.
Variable Message Signs
- Displays texts and graphics. Bilingual characters (Arabic & English).
- Provides motorists with advance notification of accidents, lane closure, road work, etc.
- Lane management
- Displays variable speed limits.
Over-height Vehicle Detection
- Promotes accident prevention by controlling entry of over-height vehicles.
Weigh-In-Motion (WIM)
- Sensors mounted on the road that captures information on vehicle axle loads, gross weight, speed, & classification.
- WIM can be integrated into a truck weigh station to function as prescreening stage.
- Data can also be used for surveys and statistics.
- Traffic Tech is a certified installer of Kistler Quartz sensor.
Truck Weigh Station
- Enforcement of truck axle load limit.
- Axle load limit enforcement extends pavement life of the road, reduces road user cost through improved road conditions, and prevents accidents caused by overloading.
- WIM preliminary screens potential overload violators.
- After preliminary screening, traffic lights directional signs directs trucks to bypass or go through a static scale.
- Static Scale/Scale House – thoroughly weighs trucks. Authorities then issues violation tickets as necessary.
- All the data obtained by truck weigh stations can also be used for surveys and statistics.
Tunnel Management System (TMS)
- Real-time tunnel traffic monitoring and optimum incident/accident management.
- Vehicle guidance in the tunnel and at the approach giving advance notice to motorists on tunnel condition.
- Accident prevention through enforcement of speed limit and over-height limit.
- Proper lighting, lane illumination, ventilation, and emergency equipment inside the tunnel (emergency telephone, fire extinguishers, illuminated exit directions).
- Incident detection and alarm system triggered through automatic incident detection cameras.
- Incident/Accident management facilitated by predefined emergency procedures / system settings manipulated from a main control activating all components of the system.
TMS Components
- Video Workstation with Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Over-height Vehicle Detection (OVDS)
- Variable Message Signs
- Variable Speed limit Signs
- Lane Control Signs
- Speed Enforcement Cameras
- Incident Detection & Surveillance Cameras
- Lane Lights LED Road Markers
- Illuminated signs
- Emergency Response Telephone System
- Tunnel internal lighting, ventilation, fire equipment, and flood control system
Work Zone ITS
- The system provides traffic professionals / contractors a tool to monitor work zones and surrounding traffic.
- The system gives motorists advance notice on road condition.
- The system uses portable and solar powered components integrated over wireless communications for maximum mobility.
System Components & Functions:
- Smart Eye (Pan-Till-Zoom Camera) – Portable camera system for contractors to monitor construction development in work zone areas and for traffic professionals to monitor surrounding traffic condition.
- Variable Message Signs – Provides motorists with advance notification on road condition.
- Speed Detectors – Detects speed of approaching vehicles.
- Cameras/Radars – Detects volume of vehicles few kilometers away from work zone.
- Control Systems – Processes the data on vehicle volume and speed of vehicles towards the approach of the work zone area.
- Variable Speed Limit Signs – Using data processed by the control system, it will display advance information and recommended speed limit towards the approach of the work area.
