8 Intelligent transportation system the Think up proposal

9 THINK UP Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them. Laurence J.Peter

10 ITS «ITS Definition integrate telecommunications, electronics and information technologies with transport engineering in order to plan, design, operate, maintain and manage transport systems. This integration aims to improve safety, security, quality and efficiency of the transport systems for passengers and freight, optimising the use of natural resources and respecting the environment. To achieve such aims, ITS require procedures, systems and devices to allow the collection, communication, analysis and distribution of information and data among moving subjects, the transport infrastructure and information technology applications." Specification about related terms: as far as ITS deal with information technologies and mobility of people, may also be defined as Infomobility ; it may involve road transport or any other mode as well as their interactions.» [ITS-EduNet, 2009]

11 ITS Worldwide context If the whole world had the Paris population density, it would fit within this area. Urbanisation Dense population areas Growth of accidents in developing countries Pollution

12 ITS Objectives SAFETY AND SECURITY QUALITY EFFICIENCY Monitoring Timely information Risk reduction Emergency response Reliability Controlled travel time Punctuality Cognisant decisions Energy use Trip planning Productivity Travel cost Informed logistics To reduce the painpoints related to travel To minimise the waste of money and resources To prevent harmful environmental consequences

13 ITS Value proposition Think up s companies have outstanding integrated solution to manage the projects related to the transportation systems Traveller information Electronic financial transactions Incident and Hazard response Demand management Road management Commercial vehicle management Public transportation management

14 TRAFFIC MONITORING AND CONTROL Scenario + a new road = Big logistic problem Intense mobility request Development of infrastructures is limited (cost for building and maintenance, space saturation, period for completion) Increase urbanisation of the world Black-oil dependence New roads imply higher public expense also for maintenance Manage the increase of the amount of traffic or improving quality of service. Reduce congestion and accidents: how, investing in innovation on existing infrastructures?

15 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Scenario 7:35 am TRAFFIC JAM 8Km queue in the highway Time to reach destination Personal car Public transportation 58 min 40 min + = Better resource exploitation Underground 22 min By utilising solutions coming from the ICT field, we can inform people about congestions, alter them, suggest alternative directions, charging possibilities and means, manage limited resources better, allocating them dynamically. Being a complex problem, there are sometimes no right or wrong solutions, but only tailored good or suitable solutions.

16 ITS Fields of intervention To increase the quality of mobility by providing information, allowing the choice of efficient routes for drivers or public transport users: Traveller information Information to personal devices or to vehicle devices Transmit the travel information to the Internet, mobile, phone, radio, tv and/or another vehicle. Information through DSRC and VMS DSRC may send information when vehicles are passing by a roadside antenna. VMS (variable message signs) provide useful information. IVC makes it more continuous. Information through kiosks Kiosks placed in stations provide information about public transport to users.

17 ITS Fields of intervention To improve real-time traffic management, data analysis and route planning through real-time traffic information (routes, congestions, restriction, parking availability and incidents): Traffic information Preparation for management: traffic surveillance On-site data collection by road-side unit (information acquired at a fixed point) and mobile or probe car (information acquired using mobile and specially equipped vehicles). Traffic control & traffic regulation enforcement VMS (variable message sign) for conveying real-time information on congestion, restriction and parking availability. Incident management and collision avoidance A C.A:S.is a system of sensors that is placed within a car to warn its driver of any dangers that may lie ahead on the road. In extreme conditions it can intervene.

18 ITS Fields of intervention To manage urban areas, leading to less congestion and less environmental impact, and to the increase of safety and certainty of travel: Demand management Public transportation Reducing demand by charging Electronic financial transactions Provides information on public transport and parking spaces at stations. Pricing using electronic transactions to reduce demand. Improved gate throughput by allowing easier and faster toll payments. The system works for collecting fees either for entry (or exit) roads as mileage-based fee collection with GPS or tachograph.

19 ITS Fields of intervention To improve the quality of public services and to increase the efficiency in logistics and in security. Public transport & commercial vehicle management Bus location and bus signal priority Bus location conveys the location of public transports to the users. Bus signal priority is a system in which traffic signals adapt their phase to give priority to buses. Cargo/vehicle tracking Monitors truck location and cargo to enhance logistics operations, increasing efficiency for each trip and the overall delivery system. Monitoring/operating recordings Monitors and records operation data. Leads to better driver and vehicle management, increase in security and better compliance with regulations and standards.

20 Transportation issues Wicked problem Tame problem Wicked problem Gather data Analyse data Problem Formulate solution Transportation planning is a wicked problem, therefore: 1.You don t understand the problem until you have developed a solution; 2.Solutions are not right or wrong, rather only better or worse; Implement solution Solution 3. Every problem is essentially unique and novel, so you cannot copy another city s or country s solution; 4. Every solution is a one-shot operation, so you will not be able to reuse your own solution. It means that Transportation problem can be resolved only by a taiylor approach based on flexibility and care for details. The previous cases can teach very few.

21 ITS offering The proposal Think Up can provide tailored solutions combining the right mix of strategic approach and disruptive technologies. Think Up does not need to sell a unique technology (as big players need), but it can build a structured framework that can fit to client s needs. Think Up can suggest the best systemic solution. Think Up provides a Solution Manager to manage all resources and to represent the single point of contact for Customers.
