Roads in Ireland


Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport Oversight

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) Oversight of National Roads

ITS IN IRELAND – PRESENT


ITS IN IRELAND – PRESENT Like many other countries ITS implementation is longstanding and evolving Examples - Traffic Management

- Signals & UTC - VMS - Motorway Management

- Public Transport - Smart Travel Cards - Real Time Passenger Information


ITS IN IRELAND – PRESENT Examples (continued)

- Tolling - Electronic

- Interoperability

- Road Management - Asset Management

- Licencing

- ITS related

- And many more ....


ITS IN IRELAND – PRESENT

- And many stakeholders - Public and Private

- Local – National – International

- Overall - Good deployment evolving

- Occured on a needs basis

- Individual examples

- Historically not joined up (technically and institutionally)


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE - New Technologies and new Possibilities

- What are the needs having regard to trends and technologies?

- Challenges / Trends

- Increasing congenstion (traffic)

- Changing Markets (expectation)

- Further Deployments

- Enforcement (Gardai / Police)

- Speed Limit Adaption

- C-ITS


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE • Capacity / resource issues

• Agencies – Not joined-up thinking…

• Increased coordination and better use of resources…

• Benefits not felt to full extent

• Regulatory

• International

• EU

• ITS Directive

• Tolling

• Data

• Technology


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE

- Development of an ITS Strategy for Ireland


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE Strategy Aims

Build Capacity and opportunities for greater efficiency

• Systems need to be increasingly connected

• Sharing resources and infrastructure

• Specialist Skills

• Research and pilots

Develop Implementation Plan focusing on critical areas


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE C-ITS Considerations

- Data – sensing, collection, dissemination

- General public – concern over V2V and V2I communications

- Legal – basis for rollout upstream

- Interoperability

- Challenge: Standards, for greatest coordination and maximum benefits


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE Mobility as a Service

Considerations

• Evolution of users’ expectations (demand-led, or supply-led)

• MaaS Alliance - pilots

• Challenge: planning for a future that is unpredictable; socio-tech backdrop

• Need for national and international coordination


ITS IN IRELAND – FUTURE Data Considerations - Big Data – - holistic understanding - identify patterns - Informed decision-making for transport - Open Data - Ensuring access to relevant usable info - Technology progresses faster than the laws to govern its use - Challenge: find a balance keep up vs get carried away - Challenge: understanding which solutions and applications are feasible (spatial/infrastructural) and avoid ‘Ultimate Solutions’


ITS (IRELAND) EXAMPLES

Example: - Shared Service Road Management Office (RMO) Local Authority Shared Service (Donegal / Cork CoCo led) Established in 2014 Current role relating to Road Licencing and Pavement Management Ensure Long Term Sustainability

• Support Structure for Local Authorities such as for reporting and surveys • Builds on existing LA led collaboration

Develop Knowledge, Training and Staff Skills in Local Authority sector Develop and support technology suitable for LAs Support development rollout and implementation of Pavement Management and Licencing Modular Structure - Expandable to other areas


Intelligent Speed Adaption (Dashboard mounted)

ITS IN IRELAND – EXAMPLES

Digital Records and Maps - Asset Inventory - Consistency and Appropriateness (MapRoad - GIS and Database) Integrating and Sharing ITS


ITS IN IRELAND – DATEX II


ITS (IRELAND) DATEX II

DATEX II well used in communications ITS Directive explicitly refers to DATEX II - Regulations 885/2013 (Truck Parking), - 886/2013 (road Safety Related Traffic Information), - 2015/962 (Real Time Traffic Information) Directive Requirements on Data Quality - Member States assess compliance of data - Impartial and independent national body competent - Ireland to use a Standards based approach (NSAI) - Certification Scheme (Similar to ISO 9000)


ITS (IRELAND) TN-ITS PILOT

ERTICO Based Project Implementation Plan for the Pilot TN-ITS Services The Irish Pilot study will focus on two road network scenarios; 1) National Core Network (445 km)

2) Local Authority/County-Council

network (2,612 km)

Maynooth University

Completed March 2017


ITS (IRELAND) NATIONAL ACCESS POINT

ITS Directive Regulations requirement for a ‘National Access Point’ www.data.gov.ie
