ITS Service Technicians today keep our roads and technology running smoothly, safely and more efficiently than ever. A world class service team is enhanced even further by world class, industry specific service tools, platforms, best practice and data analysis. In this talk we explore how private service organizations and public entities can leverage data, tools and platforms to facilitate faster, more efficient, safer and better informed ITS maintenance and services delivery.
The Talbrücke Rahmede bridge in Germany was demolished in 2021, causing disruptions. This case study explores how Autobahn GmbH and Strassen NRW use data analytics, including INRIX’s floating vehicle data and xyzt.ai visual analytics, to monitor and manage traffic. This approach negates the need for expensive traditional traffic measurement infrastructure.
Portable traffic signals can be used to control tidal flow worksites, however, locations with high traffic volumes often need staff to manage queues and minimise all-red times. Addinsight, with SAGE Automation, both SAGE Group companies, developed an automated solution for a client tasked with a 600-metre-long bridge refurbishment project.
This paper explores the efficiency of acoustic sensors in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), emphasizing their cost-effectiveness and ability to capture diverse data types. Using AI based audio signal processing for tasks like speed estimation and vehicle classification, it highlights their potential for enhancing ITS operations and suggesting avenues for future
research.
Disruptions to road networks are inevitable. Disruptive events cause frustration, long delays, dangerous road conditions and confusion. No two disruptions are the same and there is no easy fix. Transmax is working with state government road agencies to build a next-generation disruption management tool for safer roads and quicker recovery from disruptions.
