Urban transport is a complex and unpredictable landscape

• Most of the transport resources available in a urban area

are made up of individual vehicles, not under the control

of the public planning.

• This makes difficult to manage efficiently the transport,

specially for the degraded modes (congestion, accident..)

• To be efficient, this management requires to get

additional information from various sources, and to have

the capacity to coordinate many stakeholders.

Optimizing the users journey

• The transport user needs an exhaustive information on

the real time status of the transport offer, in order to

optimize its journey

• The transport operator needs a real time status of the

traffic and of the travel demand.

• The goal is to reconciliate the 2 approaches:

• Individualized passenger information

• Real time adaptation of the transport operations

Emergence of the multi-modality concept

• Because the different transport means are not

independant, they cannot be operated in silos.

• The multi-modality is the only way to manage the

interactions, and to give:

• An accurate and global information to the users

• External constraints for the transport operations.

• For authorities, the possibility to orchestrate the

different stakeholders.

Additional challenges for a smart city

• The environmental impact, mainly due to traffic pollution

becomes critical.

• The authorities must guarantee safety and security for all

citizens

• To be able to react quickly in case of crisis, and to adapt

easily to multiple degraded modes, the authorities must

have a complete but synthetic view of the situation.

How to get interoperable systems

• One way is to propose dedicated standardized interfaces

• Each application is related to (all) others

• This is a strong constraint to maintain the complete

system

• We can also use an external bridge, where the relevant

information is shared between all the applications.

• In this case, the orchestration between the applications is

done by en engine within the bridge.

Today’s Architectures of Supervision Systems

Highly modular => Modifying any module does not impact the others

Each Sw product is efficiently designed to address its functions

Silo approach: one application for each function

Cons Pros

No synthetic view and no automatic synchronization of the stakeholders.

Manual actions required to follow paper procedures

No integrated HMI => Human based global situation awareness

Difficult lifecycle management, solution based on various protocols and interfaces
