Cost-effective Traffic Control and Communication Systems Based on IP and Wireless Communication Technologies

IP (internet protocol) communication systems and traffic control systems have been developed. However the following improvements are needed for the system to come into wide use in Japan: cost-effective updates to existing systems; additional functions for various traffic conditions such as rapid changes of traffic flow; and new vehicle detectors which can be installed inexpensively. Recently, new devices such as a compact IP router, wireless communication devices and a passive infrared vehicle detector have been developed, and new functions introduced. This paper provides an overview of the cost-effective system and the lessons learned from system deployment efforts to date. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
