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.
US manufacturer of TMA (truck mounted attenuator) trucks Royal Truck & Equipment is to unveil the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) autonomous attenuator truck, along with partners at Colas UK, and Micro Systems. This work zone vehicle has been designed to revolutionise safety for roadway maintenance crews. Usually positioned behind road construction crews in order to protect workers from the travelling public, the Autonomous Impact Protection Vehicle (AIPV) is a self-driving TMA truck that incre
Giesecke & Devrient and Infineon have joined forces to provide “contactless smartcards compliant with the CIPURSE Open Standard in Volume Quantities” and will be able to discuss here at CARTES 2013 how these new cards “are being used today in Brazil”.
Visitors to the ITS World Congress in Tokyo will be able to experience the latest intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies developed by Chinese information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider Huawei.
Huawei believes that next-generation intelligent transport systems should enable travellers and enterprises in the transport sector to achieve responsive operations, convenient user experience, and enhanced safety. The company has developed a series of ITS solutions for differ
Smart and innovative thinking will again be awarded at the world’s largest, and best attended, trade fair for the infrastructure, traffic management, safety, parking, and smart mobility sectors, when the winners of the 2016 Intertraffic Innovation Awards are announced on 5 April during the opening ceremony.
