EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I. Objectives
The scope of this Deliverable (and the related W.P. 5.1) is to present a fundamental integrated system architecture for the Traffic Management System of EUROCOR, going through a concise state of the art analysis of the existing traffic control systems. Although EUROCOR is not concentrated on architectural issues, an overall integrated system architecture will be provided, as it will be extremely useful for future systems. The architecture of the existing systems in Paris and Amsterdam (test sites for EUROCOR) will be described in detail.
II. Approach
The approach consists of the following steps:
III. Results
Numerous projects have studied the possibility of a comon integrated system architecture for Traffic Management Systems. These studies do not conclude to a common architecture.
The existing systems installed in Paris and in Amsterdam control both motorway and urban networks and perform the three main applications (ramp metering, urban traffic control and VMS control). The system in Paris performs each application independently. The ramp metering function in the system in Amsterdam is coordinated.
The proposed system functionality imposes a degree of co-operation between separate applications (ramp metring, urban traffic control and VMSs' control). The degree of integration is subject to technical and physical characteristics of each site. However, a satisfactory integration level should be achieved, so that the benefits of the operation of the system would be significant.
As a final conclusion, the potential benefits of integration are higher for higher level of integration but the fully integrated architecture is not a short term solution. The proposed integrated architecture provides complete adaptability and integrity, so that each site can implement the system according to its requirements and existing circumstances.
