Gewi’s traffic information solutions give the bigger picture

There are demonstrations of Gewi’s traffic information centre (TIC) solutions on its booth including those for road incident management (RIM) and work zones. The RIM features allow organisations to efficiently manage incidents on the roadway or with roadway infrastructure in a consistent manner while the TIC system can define and track predefined incident response plans to provide operators with a step-by-step response process. It also tracks each action

There are demonstrations of 1862 Gewi’s traffic information centre (TIC) solutions on its booth including those for road incident management (RIM) and work zones.

The RIM features allow organisations to efficiently manage incidents on the roadway or with roadway infrastructure in a consistent manner while the TIC system can define and track predefined incident response plans to provide operators with a step-by-step response process. It also tracks each action, enabling a review of the response to decide how well the incident was handled and if changes can be made to improve the response to future incidents.

The Work Zone feature is designed to reduce the traffic impact of work zones by sharing accurate information including location and activities, planned and actual duration, traffic control, lane use and restrictions.

TIC can also check and detect conflicts with diversion routes specified for other neighbouring work zones and for routes recommended for navigation system.

Work zones can also be verified by comparing other sources such as cameras and real-time traffic flow. According to the company, TIC is ‘Smart Work Zone’ compatible and has the ability to connect to smart traffic cones, connected work zone trailers and mobile work zone data entry devices. Also highlighted on the booth is the company’s recently released features for oversize/overweight vehicles.

This includes the ability to check intended routes of oversize/overweight vehicles for any restrictions such as work zones and incidents as well as for other limitations such as tunnels and bridges.

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.

    New systems of software are coming together to form the technological backbone of a project that will apply practically to one corridor in Dallas, but influence travel across a wider area. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the lead agency for an extensive Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project in Dallas, covering an area stretching north east of downtown Dallas, 20 miles long by two miles wide. The corridor is defined loosely by the US-75 freeway and DART’s light rail ‘red line’. These are the theor
