285 Delcan is the systems integrator for a major integrated corridor management (ICM) pilot site being highlighted by the US DOT. The San Diego ICM project, led by the 1789 San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), has deployed an advanced system designed to manage and optimise all available infrastructure, routes and modes in a pro-active, coordinated manner. The project won the Best of ITS Award presented at the opening plenary.
The Interstate 15 Integrated Corridor Management System represents collaboration between SANDAG, 3879 Caltrans, local cities, state and national transportation agencies. This project implements the US DOT’s vision that metropolitan areas can realise significant improvements in the efficient movement of people and goods through aggressive, proactive integration of existing infrastructure along major transportation corridors. It involves the integration of technologies and concepts that have yet to be used in the US. Various Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies were deployed including: Freeway coordinated adaptive ramp metering; signal coordination on arterials with freeway ramp metering; regional arterial management; real-time multimodal decision support; network traffic prediction; on-line micro simulation analysis; real-time response strategy assessment; en-route traveller information; and pre-trip traveller information.
As systems integrator for this project, Delcan Intelligent NETworks product was installed to monitor and manage the various facilities and modes, as well as recommend response plan strategies for various types of scheduled and unscheduled events. At the heart of the system is a real-time multimodal Decision Support System (DSS) that involved integration between Intelligent NETworks and 16 Aimsun Online, a tool from 2195 Transport Simulation Systems (TSS) that provides network traffic prediction and real-time micro simulation. The end result is said to be one of the most comprehensive and intelligent decision support systems in the industry today.
Delcan is inviting delegates to its booth to learn more about this groundbreaking method of transportation management.
Viajeo Plus, an EC funded FP7 international cooperation project for implementation of innovative and efficient urban mobility solutions, has organised a City Showcase in Chengdu Heritage Park, China, on 11 November.
The event aims at facilitating knowledge exchange and experience sharing between China and Europe on sustainable urban mobility. It will gather technical experts, policy makers and researchers to present their achievements on sustainable urban mobility solutions, to discuss their needs and to
All-electronic tolling, managed lanes and the drive to interoperability are already changing the face of highway transportation. This IBTTA Summit AET, Managed Lanes & Interoperability on 20-22 July in San Diego, California, discusses the latest technologies driving the transition, as well as the customer service and communication challenges that shape implementation.
Learn about the intelligent transportation systems that are already transforming modern toll roads, as well as the options for addressing
Lyft is tweaking its app in a bid to make it easier for users to switch between different modes of travel - including scooters, bikes, public transit and car rentals.
The ride-share firm has added shared bikes and scooters to its app over the past year and says more people are opting for its ‘greenest ride options’.
The app displays mobility options in a city and Lyft says it helps users find the safest routes for bikes and scooters.
The app will also allow users to compare the time and cost acro
If you want to know the future of transport ticketing, make sure you visit the Cubic Transportation stand and check out NextAgent, the virtual ticketing concept that is set to revolutionise the industry.
NextAgent Video Ticket Office acts as a combination of a conventional ticket office, vending machine, and call centre. The passenger speaks and interacts, face-to-face, with a clerk throughout the ticketing process, just as they would at a traditional ticket window.
The only difference is that the intera
