What is an Advanced Traffic System?

  • ITS stands for intelligent transportation system which is a ubiquitous advanced traffic system in the 21st century that can effectively control traffic jams and significantly improve the reliability by applying advanced technologies such as information/ electronics/ communication/ controls to th existing transportation elements such as roads, cars and freights. It can maximize the efficiency of traffic such as improvements of traffic conditions, convenience of traffic use and energy saving.

Composition

  • It is mainly comprised of three phases – first, the traffic information is collected from a collection device such as CCTV, second it is analyzed and processed by the system and third, it is provided to the users.

Background

  • As of the end of 2009, Ulsan city is ranked as the top city in terms of the number of cars owned by a household (1.08 vehicles per household) and the cost of trafficjams among the seven metropolitan areas. The amount of traffic is increased at least 1.6% per year and the number of registered vehicles is increased at least 3.0% per year.

  • For this reason, the traffic condition is increasingly deteriorated. To resolve this problem, each year, the city government is investing lots of money in building new roads and so forth. However, the effect of such efforts was very limited in resolving the problems and as the citizen’s demands for new traffic methods were increased, since April, 2001 until April, 2005, a n intelligent transportation system(ITS) was implemented and gradually expanded each year.

  • Since 2002, Ulsan city has been operating an ITS (intelligent transportation system) that replaces the existing bus information system (BIS). Ulsan city installed the Ulsan Traffic Management Center (UTMC) and is the first metropolitan city government to implement an advanced traffic information system. Ulsan city is creating role models for ITS in the world.

  • Especially, according to the transportation policy of Ulsan city, along with the traffic information service, the traffic signal system is comprehensively monitored by our system that can controls a flexible flow of the traffic. Traffic loads in the congested areas are distributed, and the traffic jams are eliminated. The traffic flows between the metropolitans and the real time road traffic information in interconnections with the signal control systems are supplied by combining all the information occurring on the roads. From now on, the Ulsan traffic management center will implement an advanced intelligent information system to supply more efficient traffic information.
