DESIGN OF AN INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Effective management of incident detection systems requires technological and operational integration. This paper describes the design of a system to provide the operators with the necessary tools to manage a multi-sensor, multi-algorithm incident detection system and subsequently control and operate a driver advisory system based on variable message signing technology. The roadside systems utilize off-road sensing devices and image processing to provide basic traffic data and wide area surveillance. A modular hub has been designed that controls the communication with these subsystems and integrates their output. Some of the subsystems run local algorithms, but the hub has been designed to allow multi-site algorithms to be run centrally. The hub also has sign setting plans, which relate to the road conditions and control the orderly setting and unsetting of signs according to the plan selected interactively. The design of the hub addresses the issues of real-time operation, communications control, interaction with system elements, and system failure management.
