Software-Based Traffic Management Information System for Urban Road Networks: An Empirical Study
Publication: Applications of Advanced Technology in Transportation
Abstract
This paper presents a study as part of a growing body of research on traffic information systems implementation and their use within transport and traffic units. The paper starts by discussing traffic management systems in improving the competitive edge of transportation sectors and traffic divisions in particular. The paper then discusses the process of building an information management system and technology to improve the transportation and traffic units. The paper concludes with lessons learned from the experience of building traffic information systems and the steps needed to improve it. These steps will enable traffic managers to adapt their decisions; deliver efficient traffic management; make decisions that suites changing traffic patterns associated with incidents and special events on the road network. Consequently, traffic departments will no longer need to rely on snapshot views of traffic conditions. Traffic planning will be revolutionised because the system will incorporate traffic simulation models that will enable traffic departments to analyse congested networks.
