| Summary | The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) issued the master plan of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Taiwan. Based on the ITS plan, the serial studies of standard traffic control systems, carry out yearly since 1999, in fields of urban area traffic control communications protocol, control logic, software, and signal controllers. The MOTC published the “Urban Area Traffic Control Communications Protocol Version 3.0” and “Standardized Urban Traffic Control Software” in 2004. Accompany with the traffic control laboratory of the Institute of Transportation (IOT) developed the research, examination, and integration platforms for urban traffic control systems. With the related developments, it is able to establish the infrastructure of “e-Traffic -- Intelligent Traffic Control System”. This project, based on the analysis of the demands of urban traffic control management in 2007 and 2008, proposes the revised draft of “Urban Area Traffic Control Communications Protocol Version 3.1” by adding the communications protocol for closed-circuit television (CCTV) devices and reviewing the communications protocol for changeable message sign (CMS) and vehicle detector (VD) devices. This project also implements the communications protocol between hardware and software by laboratory equipment. In addition, this project integrates the practical experiences on the local government traffic control centers with the urban traffic control software. 2009’s main conclusions of this project are as follows: (1) Review the traffic control communications protocol in the USA, Japan, and China (2) Revise and update the draft of “Urban Area Traffic Control Communications Protocol Version 3.1” in the terms of traffic controller, CMS, CCTV, VD, and incident detection according to the international developments and needs analysis domestically (3) Propose the mechanism of center to center communications for data exchange and coordinated traffic management strategies. Correspondingly, recommend the standard C2C work flow. The major benefits of this project contains: (1) Revise the draft of “Urban Area Traffic Control Communications Protocol Version 3.1” from practical demands to meet the future need of traffic control (2) In concert with the promotion of ITS, the project outcomes can also be referred to by local governments in their future system development. |
