Innovative, Wireless ICT Technology Applications for Improved Road Traffic Safety and Automatic Traffic Enforcement

In Viet Nam, Traffic Police C26, through Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and partnerships with various Ministries, took this WB funding opportunity, persuaded upper management, used Vietnam own fund of US$350,000, and implemented 12-fixed camera/3 mobile speed enforcement device and wireless broadband network. Traffic Police C26’s “Proof-of-Concept” field site s, located both at the Traffic Police Headquarters, 4 field stations, and at a toll station, as related to Cr.4073 WB.VRSP project. The initial system connects a ll 12 fixed camera and 3 speed enforcement device to 3 traffic police offices (Hanoi, Ha Nam, and Ninh Binh province) along the 1st Demonstration Corridor covered on the No. 1 Highway 100Km from Hanoi - Ninh Binh expressway section. The full “Proof-of-Concept” system, completed and operational since 02/20/2009(Sat) (right before this scheduled WB VRSP.B7 Mid-Term Project Review). The current system “Automated Traffic Enforcement with Digital Camera,” somewhat totally different from the “ 01/2009 Cr.4073 VRSP.B7.Bidding Document,” are equipped with three-to-four (3-to-4) typical system configurations, including the usage of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, Roadside Units (industrial Personal Computer (IPC) with dedicated, embedded VIDS Image Processing System, optional License Plate Recognition (LPR) system, video splitter, and Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)); IP6-based 5.8GHz wireless broadband communication (WinMax); separate/mobile Lidar-based Speed Detector with the IP6-based wireless broadband communication; and 3 police cars equipped with the mobile camera, and speed enforcement device/IPC based LPR and wireless broadband communication units that allow the users to connect wirelessly, anywhere onto the overall 1st Corridor communication network. This paper describes the up-to-date, State-of-the-Art Information, Communication Technologies for Road Safety Enhancement, Automatic Traffic Enforcement, and practical, real-world applications in Viet Nam. The following sections summarized the overall system design, technologies currently available today, practical implementation considerations, financing/procurement/deployment/evaluation best practice, in the important ITS implementation.
