| Summary | Published in April 2005 “Development of a Platform for Integrated Traffic Information System” was accomplished in 2003. This project aims to continue the above project’s goal and extend the data resources. In order to set up demonstrative traffic data collection system, this project chooses the freeway and major highway systems near Taichung City to be the demonstrative network which comprises of Chung-Chin Rd., Taizhonggang Rd., Wucyuan W. Rd., No.1 Sun Yat-sen freeway, and No.74 expressway. This project deploys vehicle detectors, CCTV, and CMS in the demonstrative network and integrates real-time traffic information into “Taichung City Real Time Traffic Information Web”. The public can acquire the traffic and route guidance information from the above web-based system for travel decision reference purposes. The main purpose of route guidance strategy is to guide road users to select desirable route between No.1 freeway and No.74 expressway in the demonstrative network. This project applies “speed difference” and “level of service” as guidance rules. One of the guidance rules is to use lower level highway as the alternative route of higher level highway. The real-time traffic information of No.1 freeway is provided by the traffic information system of Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau (TANFB). The real-time traffic information of No.74 expressway is obtained from newly installed data collection equipments by this project. One CMS is installed on the outbound Wucyuan W. Rd. to provide road users with guidance information. During the system warranty period, system performance evaluation will be carried out, including the survey of travel time reduction and users’ degree of satisfaction. The operation of data collection equipments installed by this project is included in the Taichung City’s traffic information system and traffic management system, using MOTC’s standard communication protocols and standard traffic control software for system integration. |
