Technical support of traffic control system of Slovak agglomerations in NaTIS project

Abstract

A necessary requirement for the implementation process of NaTIS in Slovakia is the integration of functional ITS of main town agglomerations into the system. One of the basic components of town ITS is data acquisition from properly located detectors, transmission of these data into the control center and subsequent utilization for traffic control. In case of large agglomerations usually a high demandingness of sufficient telecommunication infrastructure emerges. The paper describes the major parts of NaTIS and of the proposed ITS philosophy of the town Presov. Further a technical solution design is analysed enabling videodata transmission from detectors placed to the control center via a hybrid communication interface. The designed interface with tested compression algorithm enables the usage of present commercial telecommunication networks for videodata transmission in real time. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
