REAL-TIME SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

SMART ROAD NETWORKS

MEETING THE

CHALLENGE

To determine the performance of

the network and disseminate

meaningful information to road

users, the system must:

Detect and track traffic

conditions at all points on the

road

Analyse whether there is an

incident

Provide real-time, low-latency

information to the road user

SINGLE

POINT

LINE

COVERAGE

Traditional sensors provide

information only at a single

point on the road

Sophisticated rules/behaviour based analysis of all data in real-time

Configured to report specific alerts to the Control centre and road users

Typical parameters that are measured:

Speed – Specific vehicle speed - Avg. lane speed

Slowing and stopped vehicles with exact location

Detailed traffic flow data – incl. vehicle classification

Abnormal hazards – debris, pedestrians, wildlife

of traffic flow across the network:

Alert of imminent incidents

“Stopped vehicle in lane 1 -

vehicles to a particular route to

avoid additional congestion
