Solution: an integrated platform in a distributed environment
PURPOSE
The Traffic Control Centre
Goals:• Better real time traffic monitoring
• Provide tools for traffic planning
• Real Time Information for road users
Actions:• Improvement of centralised traffic light control (new sensors and traffic light equipment)
• Integration to the LTZ/bus lanes control gates
• Integration of the real time bus control centre for BUS prioritisation
• More than 40 Variable Message Signs
• Real Time Traffic Information on web, sms, email, satellite GPS car navigator systems
• Mobile centre for pollution monitoring
UTMC (CISIUM)new Traffic Control Centre
Based on UTOPIA software, the UTMC integrates: georeferencing tools (cartography), models of traffic prediction, event management and the Travel Planner platform
The Traffic Control Centre
Vectorial cartography of the urban area Road graph All mobility layers georeferenced (traffic lights, inductive loops, VMS, cameras…)
Some features and services
Geographic Information System
Data provided by SIT (Informative System for the Territory): database Oracle processed by ArcSDE (ESRI)
The Traffic Control Centre
170 intersections controlled UTOPIA Urban Traffic Control System About 1,000 inductive loops Dynamic phase optimisation Analyse and diagnostic tools Prioritisation of Bus
The Utopia System for traffic light regulation
Some features and services
The Traffic Control Centre
Travel Planner
Travel planner integrated with P&R services, bus and private traffic prediction services
Some features and services
The Traffic Control Centre
Level service of street
Speed Factor (SF): to indicate the average speed available for a single road segment.
Congestion Index (CI): to indicate the level of congestion of a whole road graph (i.e.: a row of road segments); different road graph will be typified in the road network map using different colours to show the different CI.
Data Source:• Inductive loops at traffic lights• Bus fleet (GPS connection to detect vehicles speed in real time)• 5 equipped vehicles going around (in different days and time)
Some features and services

Main streets (to access the Centre)
Not all of them can be used to freely enter the Centre (bus lanes, one-way,…)
LTZLimited Traffic Zone3.2 km2
ITS, enforcement and traffic policy
LTZ and main bus lanes access is based on an authorising system: with the support of ITS (cameras) transgressors are automatically fined.

SIRIO: Monitoring system to check access to LTZ - Launched in Feb. 2005
• LTZ Area: 3.2 km2 (around the 80% of the city centre)
• Restrictions from 7 AM to 8 PM, no restrictions on Saturdays
• LTZ Access control: 10 gates monitored by cameras
• The system automatically generates fines for transgressors
• Number of LTZ Access Authorisations: around 60,000
LTZ HISTORICAL CENTRE
ITS, enforcement and traffic policy
RITA: Monitoring system to check access to bus lanes and “T” Area
• Access control to bus lanes : 10 gates monitored by cameras (also motorbikes)
• Access control to University Area : 2 gates monitored by cameras (also motorbikes)
• restrictions are effective 24 h a day
• The system automatically generates fines for transgressors
• Access control to the “T” Area : 3 gates

ITS results (since 2004)
• - 25% of unauthorised cars in LTZ• - 30% in the 3 main roads in the centre• - 70% of unauthorised vehicles in “U” area• - 70% of unauthorised cars in PT dedicated lanes
Access in LTZ trend: average day of Feb.
h. 7 - 20 24 h.
Downside: spreading of motorvehicles in Bologna
Trends for cars - 1999=100
ITS, enforcement and traffic policy
Financing program aimed at integration and harmonisation of policies and instruments for sustainable mobility in the metropolitan areas.
Cities involved:Bologna (IT) - Coordination, Utrecht (NL), Gdansk (PL), Funchal (Madeira - PT) and Tallin (EE)
