Seohae Bridge became the one of the busiest gateway of West sea and the connecting way of national industry complex for effective transportation. These systems are deteriorated and the functions of user program are too simple to expand the usage with limited measurement result. So systems were reconstructed focusing on cable stayed bridge’s intensive management. GPS systems and integrated system were built for effective management of traffic, bridge, and information communication facility management.

River Bridges under Design flood level has the possibility of large-scale disaster by bridge buoyancy and reversing on increasing of water level when it is raining. Therefore it is needed to prepare the measure for preventing damage and securing the safety of drivers on the expressway. This technical paper describes general course of production, installation and operation on flood warning equipment using the Mobile System for solving this problem. We installed this unique equipment on the River Bridge on Yeongchon, Gyeongbuk in 2009. Consequently, we have the efficacy on the expressway’s bridge maintenance by the Mobile System, which checks the increasing water level of River Bridge anywhere. In this paper, we will introduce expressway maintenance managers to more efficient maintenance method with this result. Published in 2010 by Korea Expressway Corporation.

Minnesota is one of eight states combining efforts to design, develop and implement 511 using the Condition Acquisition and Reporting System (CARS) as its foundation. Design of the CARS-511 system began in January 2002. Development took place over the next severalmonths and 511 was fully launched in Minnesota on July 1, 2002. Minnesota’s launch also included a new web site – 511mn.org – and consisted of a statewide promotional campaign designed to increase awareness and use of traveler information. Public response has been overwhelming with daily call volumes up to ten times greater than those received with the previous 10-digit toll free road condition number. This paper shares the lessons learned through design and development, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of 511 in Minnesota.

This paper reports on the performance of advanced traveler information systems (ATIS)during the 2002 Salt Lake CityWinter Olympic Games. This was the first Olympics in the United States with an established Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) deployment in full operation, and the Salt Lake City ITS installation was among the most comprehensive in the nation. This paper presents excerpts from a larger study, commissioned by Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration. The purpose of that larger study was to document and assess the performance of the UDOT advanced traffic management system (ATMS) and advanced traveler information system (ATIS) during the Olympic Games. An additional purpose was to document and assess the results of the Travel Demand Management program created and implemented for the Olympic Games. This paper presents some of the traveler information findings from that larger study, specifically regarding the CommuterLink Website and the 5-1-1 Telephone Service.

The acronym for MTA Bridges & Tunnels’ Advanced Traffic Management Incident Detect/Evaluate/Act System, ATM IDEAS, is true for the deployment project as well. Awarded as a design-furnish-install-test-maintain contract to Transdyn Controls, Inc., with Dunn Engineering Associates, PC, providing administrative and quality assurance services, the $12M project is using Internet-enhanced weekly teleconferences, status reporting and project management tools, and file sharing. In emulation of open-source code development, modular software development is contractually viewable by the sponsoring agency from the beginning, and paired with written documentation standards, continuous configuration management and complete off-site modular testing prior to deployment. Other project innovations include statistical task analyses based on two 24-hour observations of real TMC operations, a rapid-prototyping mock-up for user feedback and human factors analysis, the use of GIS field device configuration data, effective integration of varying audio and video sources, and the use of electronic white boarding techniques. Planned for simultaneous deployment in 2004 in the Authority’s eleven existing TMCs and a new centralized coordinating virtual TMC, the ATM IDEAS project is an early example of second-generation TMC systems engineering and software development techniques.
