ElecTraCop United Technological Platform for ITS based on RFID - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

ElecTraCop United Technological Platform for ITS based on RFID technologies MATSUR & CO, INC., USA www.matsur.com

ITS - Existing challenges  Too many local solutions — and no nation- wide system  No way to combine existing ITS solutions  Vehicle detection and identification is not 100% precise  Lack of fully automatic functions  Solutions can't be installed anywhere, or they distort the architectural outlook MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Project goals  Provide a single solution for traffic-related problems  Provide multifunctional technological platform for ITS  Reliably monitor and control traffic MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

General concepts Innovative and unique solution for traffic control:  RFID-based technologies  multifunctional platform for traffic regulation  comprehensive traffic control both in the streets and on highways  free-flow real-time road toll collection And, ultimately, control over road usage MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Main features • Minimum (or no) optical equipment • Single package with multifunctional units • Vehicle detection regardless of traffic density and weather conditions • 100% reliable vehicle identification (ISO 18 000 (03;06) protocols) • Exact location and timing of each passing vehicle • Measurement of vehicle movement parameters, such as direction and speed • Low-cost installation and maintenance MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

System functions 1/2  100% reliable vehicle identification — no additional checks needed  Traffic flow management — to prevent gridlocks and traffic jams  Automatic monitoring of traffic violations  Automatic control over traffic lights, variable information signs, etc.  Automatic parking control  Automatic license plate monitoring — to prevent illegal replacement or intentional damage MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

System functions 2/2  Priorities for specialized and/or public transport  Dynamic vehicle weighting  Free-flow charging: tolls, taxes, fines, and other payments  Statistical data collection and processing  Measurement of traffic flow parameters: intensity, density, speed  Navigational services MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Integral parts 1/4 Electronic License Plate  Is used alongside with standard state-issued license plates  Contains an embedded RFID-module for detection and identification  Sends signals to be received by a devoted reader MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Integral parts 2/4 Underground induction reader  Is placed under the surface of the road  No arches or over-the-road constructions needed  Reads identification data of the vehicle stored in the electronic license plate  Operates in HF-band (complies with ISO-18000-03)  Completely safe for both people and animals MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Integral parts 3/4 RF Doppler reader  Looks like an ordinary road sign post  Reads identification data of the vehicle stored in the electronic license plate  Operates in UHF-band (complies with ISO – 18000-06 standard)  Also measures vehicle speed while identifying them, using the built-in Doppler radar MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Integral parts 4/4 Stationary Control Points (SCP)  Are placed at key points of the road network (junctions)  Provide for unlimited scalability of the system (junction → block → district → city → county → ...)  Immediately affect the current road situation by tailoring traffic lights in adaptive mode  Accumulate, process, store and share traffic data for futher use MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Proposed effects  Economic minimized driving costs and time losses  Social lower emotional and psychological pressure on drivers increased people's mobility  Political improved image of local authorities  Ecological drop in carbon and other harmful emissions decreased fuel consumption MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Control over Road Usage Getting road usage under control allows to do the following:  optimize traffic by utilising multiple vehicle detectors and speed readers to collect statistical data  encourage drivers to use their vehicles rationally in order to relieve the roads  increase road capacity by preventing gridlocks and traffic jams  promote widespread use of public transport  make road usage more enabling by providing additional services MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Control over Road Usage — Examples 1/2 Different lanes may incur different driving costs depending on the traffic situation, or e.g. time of the day/day of the week. Driving costs are not set and are calculated automatically each time based on actual traffic intensity: the more there are vehicles on the road, the higher the cost. 1 (green) - Low driving cost 2 (yellow) - Medium driving cost 3 (red) - High driving cost A - Public transport only, extra high driving cost for personal vehicles MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Control over Road Usage — Examples 2/2 The driving cost system may also be used to reroute traffic in order to relieve central roads and small streets. Thus, bypasses and out-of-the- city freeways or belt highways will be cheaper than downtown avenues, especially for transit transport. MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS

Conclusions  UTP ElecTraCop is a single solution for ITS-related issues, which can be easilty expanded on greater areas, ultimately, a country  Its multifunctional approach allows it to replace the majority of existing separate ITS solutions  Innovative use of RFID provides for 100% precise vehicle detection and identification  All functions are fully automated — no human involvement needed  The bulk of the system is installed under the road surface, which keeps it safe and does not distort the architectural outlook MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
