STATE OF URBAN DYNAMIC TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN SHANGHAI AND FURTHER CONSIDERATION

An intelligent transportation system (ITS) is not a new idea for Chinese engineer society and government. ITS is based on microelectronics, telecommunications, and information technologies. Most characteristic of ITS is that it will develop by fully utilizing and melting the modern technologies to create a new transportation to meet the needs of safety, mobility, comfort, and environment. In China, four key areas of ITS are: automatic vehicle control systems (AVCS), advanced traffic management systems (ATMS), advance driving information systems (ADIS), and capacity and vehicle order and management systems (CVOM). At present, some traffic surveillance and control systems that are the bases of dynamic traffic management have been installed and put into use along with the highway and bridge construction projects. Some large cities and provinces have developed the transport management information system (MIS) or traffic data base, but most of them do not share information. On the other hand, many scientists and engineers from universities, institutes, and small companies are researching new ITS technologies, such as automatic driving system, traffic surveillance and control system, transportation MIS, etc. Their works lack continuity and cooperation and are performed on a small scale. Without long-term and efficient support, especially financing, their results cannot be put into use and fail to form a new industry. This paper presents China's idea of ITS, describes the status of currently running systems and study projects, and provides some suggestions for government.
