ElecTraCop United Technological Platform for ITS based on RFID technologies MATSUR & CO, INC., USA www.matsur.com
ITS - Existing challenges Too many local solutions — and no nation- wide system No way to combine existing ITS solutions Vehicle detection and identification is not 100% precise Lack of fully automatic functions Solutions can't be installed anywhere, or they distort the architectural outlook MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Project goals Provide a single solution for traffic-related problems Provide multifunctional technological platform for ITS Reliably monitor and control traffic MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
General concepts Innovative and unique solution for traffic control: RFID-based technologies multifunctional platform for traffic regulation comprehensive traffic control both in the streets and on highways free-flow real-time road toll collection And, ultimately, control over road usage MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Main features • Minimum (or no) optical equipment • Single package with multifunctional units • Vehicle detection regardless of traffic density and weather conditions • 100% reliable vehicle identification (ISO 18 000 (03;06) protocols) • Exact location and timing of each passing vehicle • Measurement of vehicle movement parameters, such as direction and speed • Low-cost installation and maintenance MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
System functions 1/2 100% reliable vehicle identification — no additional checks needed Traffic flow management — to prevent gridlocks and traffic jams Automatic monitoring of traffic violations Automatic control over traffic lights, variable information signs, etc. Automatic parking control Automatic license plate monitoring — to prevent illegal replacement or intentional damage MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
System functions 2/2 Priorities for specialized and/or public transport Dynamic vehicle weighting Free-flow charging: tolls, taxes, fines, and other payments Statistical data collection and processing Measurement of traffic flow parameters: intensity, density, speed Navigational services MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Integral parts 1/4 Electronic License Plate Is used alongside with standard state-issued license plates Contains an embedded RFID-module for detection and identification Sends signals to be received by a devoted reader MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Integral parts 2/4 Underground induction reader Is placed under the surface of the road No arches or over-the-road constructions needed Reads identification data of the vehicle stored in the electronic license plate Operates in HF-band (complies with ISO-18000-03) Completely safe for both people and animals MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Integral parts 3/4 RF Doppler reader Looks like an ordinary road sign post Reads identification data of the vehicle stored in the electronic license plate Operates in UHF-band (complies with ISO – 18000-06 standard) Also measures vehicle speed while identifying them, using the built-in Doppler radar MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Integral parts 4/4 Stationary Control Points (SCP) Are placed at key points of the road network (junctions) Provide for unlimited scalability of the system (junction → block → district → city → county → ...) Immediately affect the current road situation by tailoring traffic lights in adaptive mode Accumulate, process, store and share traffic data for futher use MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Proposed effects Economic minimized driving costs and time losses Social lower emotional and psychological pressure on drivers increased people's mobility Political improved image of local authorities Ecological drop in carbon and other harmful emissions decreased fuel consumption MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Control over Road Usage Getting road usage under control allows to do the following: optimize traffic by utilising multiple vehicle detectors and speed readers to collect statistical data encourage drivers to use their vehicles rationally in order to relieve the roads increase road capacity by preventing gridlocks and traffic jams promote widespread use of public transport make road usage more enabling by providing additional services MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Control over Road Usage — Examples 1/2 Different lanes may incur different driving costs depending on the traffic situation, or e.g. time of the day/day of the week. Driving costs are not set and are calculated automatically each time based on actual traffic intensity: the more there are vehicles on the road, the higher the cost. 1 (green) - Low driving cost 2 (yellow) - Medium driving cost 3 (red) - High driving cost A - Public transport only, extra high driving cost for personal vehicles MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Control over Road Usage — Examples 2/2 The driving cost system may also be used to reroute traffic in order to relieve central roads and small streets. Thus, bypasses and out-of-the- city freeways or belt highways will be cheaper than downtown avenues, especially for transit transport. MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
Conclusions UTP ElecTraCop is a single solution for ITS-related issues, which can be easilty expanded on greater areas, ultimately, a country Its multifunctional approach allows it to replace the majority of existing separate ITS solutions Innovative use of RFID provides for 100% precise vehicle detection and identification All functions are fully automated — no human involvement needed The bulk of the system is installed under the road surface, which keeps it safe and does not distort the architectural outlook MATSUR & CO, INC., USA, United Technological Platform for ITS
