VMSVMS

Solution: an integrated platform in a distributed environment

PURPOSE


Goals:• Better real time traffic monitoring

• Provide tools for traffic planning

• Real Time Information for road users

Actions:• Improvement of centralised traffic light control (new sensors and traffic light equipment)

• Integration to the LTZ/bus lanes control gates

• Integration of the real time bus control centre for BUS prioritisation

• More than 40 Variable Message Signs

• Real Time Traffic Information on web, sms, email, satellite GPS car navigator systems

• Mobile centre for pollution monitoring

UTMC (CISIUM)new Traffic Control Centre

Based on UTOPIA software, the UTMC integrates: georeferencing tools (cartography), models of traffic prediction, event management and the Travel Planner platform


Vectorial cartography of the urban area Road graph All mobility layers georeferenced (traffic lights, inductive loops, VMS, cameras…)

Some features and services

Geographic Information System

Data provided by SIT (Informative System for the Territory): database Oracle processed by ArcSDE (ESRI)


170 intersections controlled UTOPIA Urban Traffic Control System About 1,000 inductive loops Dynamic phase optimisation Analyse and diagnostic tools Prioritisation of Bus

The Utopia System for traffic light regulation



Travel Planner

Travel planner integrated with P&R services, bus and private traffic prediction services



Level service of street

Speed Factor (SF): to indicate the average speed available for a single road segment.

Congestion Index (CI): to indicate the level of congestion of a whole road graph (i.e.: a row of road segments); different road graph will be typified in the road network map using different colours to show the different CI.

Data Source:• Inductive loops at traffic lights• Bus fleet (GPS connection to detect vehicles speed in real time)• 5 equipped vehicles going around (in different days and time)

Main streets (to access the Centre)

Not all of them can be used to freely enter the Centre (bus lanes, one-way,…)

LTZLimited Traffic Zone3.2 km2

ITS, enforcement and traffic policy

LTZ and main bus lanes access is based on an authorising system: with the support of ITS (cameras) transgressors are automatically fined.

LTZ

Cameras


SIRIO: Monitoring system to check access to LTZ - Launched in Feb. 2005

• LTZ Area: 3.2 km2 (around the 80% of the city centre)

• Restrictions from 7 AM to 8 PM, no restrictions on Saturdays

• LTZ Access control: 10 gates monitored by cameras

• The system automatically generates fines for transgressors

• Number of LTZ Access Authorisations: around 60,000

LTZ HISTORICAL CENTRE


RITA: Monitoring system to check access to bus lanes and “T” Area

• Access control to bus lanes : 10 gates monitored by cameras (also motorbikes)

• Access control to University Area : 2 gates monitored by cameras (also motorbikes)

• restrictions are effective 24 h a day

• The system automatically generates fines for transgressors

• Access control to the “T” Area : 3 gates


SIRIO e RITApositioning

SIRIO

RITA

RITA Zona “U”

RITA - 3 gates in “T” area

SIRIO - 9 gates in LTZ

RITA - 8 gates to control bus lanes

UNIVERSITY “U” AREA 2 gates to

control semi pedestrian area



ITS results (since 2004)

• - 25% of unauthorised cars in LTZ• - 30% in the 3 main roads in the centre• - 70% of unauthorised vehicles in “U” area• - 70% of unauthorised cars in PT dedicated lanes

Access in LTZ trend: average day of Feb.

h. 7 - 20 24 h.

Downside: spreading of motorvehicles in Bologna

Trends for cars - 1999=100


Financing program aimed at integration and harmonisation of policies and instruments for sustainable mobility in the metropolitan areas.
