EUROPEAN PROJECT ON THE USE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL ON MAIN ROADS

EVROPSKI PROJEKT O KORISTENJU ELEKTRONSKIH UREDJAJA ZA REGULISANJE SAOBRACAJA NA GLAVNIM PUTEVIMA

The report on the activities of the EURO-COST 30 Operational Committee during 1977 to 1980 has been briefly presented. Working groups have investigated 9 tasks (oral communication with drivers, visual communication with drivers, changeable traffic signs, radio transmission of traffic information, information required by drivers and information for the evaluation of the communication system, automatic or non-automatic noise determination in traffic, clear, accurate and unambiguous terminology contained in messages transmitted in different languages, automatic weather forecast, equipment intended for control centres, data transmission and giving suggestions for the international project demonstration). Based on the investigations, a conclusion has been made which refers to the most suitable regulation system which should include changeable traffic signs, automatic determination of traffic noise and weather conditions. Adoption of the new warning signs on roads, introduction of changeable light signals and the sequence of messages transmitted by radio have been determined. Recommendations for standardization have been reduced to a minimum. Demonstration of the system will be held on The Hague-Rotterdam motorway. (TRRL)
