Intelligent Transportation System & it’s Application on Eastern Freeway
What is ITS ?
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), sometimes called
intelligent traffic systems, apply communications and
information technology and traffic management system to
provide solutions to the congestion as well as other traffic
control issues.
Benefits of ITS
Reduced congestion.
Time savings.
Reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
Reduced frustration.
Reduced road accidents
Increased safety.
Enhanced economic productivity.
Traffic Scenario In Mumbai

every day
Up to March 2010, 57,846 two-
wheelers and 30,118 cars had been
added to the Mumbai’s traffic.

Advanced Public Transportation System
(APTS)
The goal of demand
management is to maximize the
capacity of the current
transportation network in order
to meet the increase in the
demand for transportation

EASTERN FREEWAY
Connects P D'Mello Road in South Mumbai to the Eastern
Express Highway (EEH) at Ghatkopar.
It is 16.8 km long and its estimated cost is Rs14.36 billion.
The Eastern Freeway was built by the Mumbai Metropolitan
Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and funded by
the Central Government through the Jawaharlal Nehru
National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
Construction was contracted to Simplex Infrastructure Ltd.

Benefits of Eastern Freeway
Unrestricted link.
Avoiding heavily traffic corridor.
Faster movements & lower
operating costs of vehicle.
Facilitate cargo growth and
expanding container facility.
Reduction of accidents
Saving in fuel
Less pollution
Recent activities on Eastern Freeway
Recent activities on Eastern Freeway
Two youngsters were killed and one was critically injured when a motorcyclist lost control of his bike on the Eastern Freeway.
A landslide near Panjarpol square on the Eastern Freeway brought traffic to a halt for nearly three hours on Thursday morning.
Ritz car driver hit crash barrier near refinery.
Drivers who don't think twice before sending their speedometer needles shooting past the 100-kmph mark.
Late rescue team response to any accidents on freeway.
Application of Intelligent Transportation System
on Eastern Freeway.
These are some of the system which can be applied on
freeway to make it more and more safer.
High Speed Cameras
Warning Systems
Incident management
Smart Roads (Dynamic Paints)
High speed cameras
High speed camera with
infrared imaging
Delhi's first high speed camera
Speed monitoring camera were installed
by Delhi Traffic police on a open stretch
between new tunnel which lead to
south Delhi, Indira Gandhi International
Airport.
It was seen that more than 600 vehicle
were caught for speeding within 4 hr.
After installing high speed cameras
there is considerable decrease in rate of
accidents

Red speed enforcement
camera click photos of
motorists who jump
traffic signals or cross
stop line or exceed speed
limit.
Violators are sent challans
through Automation
Enforcement Center
within 7 days.
Implementation of High Speed Cameras in
Eastern Freeway
These cameras should be installed on
elevated portion of eastern freeway and
near the refineries and in tunnel and
entries provided in freeway.
Since it is a freeway and major portion of
road is elevated and if there is any
accident or stealing activity we can keep
watch and we can take necessary actions.
Warning system
Variable digital
messages and signs
Bangalore Traffic Improvement Project-
B-TRAC 2010".
B-TRAC 2010 is the first of its kind project in the country
to address the issues of traffic congestion, safety etc.
utilizing the latest traffic management technology
This variable messages sign has been installed in various
part of Bangalore city.
Installed to inform the motorists about:- Diversions due to
natural calamities like flooding, water clogging, fallen
trees, electrical poles,Man made diversions like strikes,
road blocks, agitations etc.
Such information will enable motorists to plan their route
based on current information.
Warning system
Effective lighting
Implementation of Warning System on
Eastern Freeway
This system should be
installed on entry, exit,
outside and inside of tunnel
of freeway and somewhere
near middle portion of
freeway.
Emergency call known SOS
The system based on Voice
Over IP (VOIP) technology is
made up of SOS Call Boxes
Set out along the roadway,
preferably in the emergency
platforms and tunnels and
elevated portion.
Incident Management
Typical rescue vehicle used in
Japan.Response team
Bangalore Traffic Improvement

Traffic management center
Control smart signaling system
Provide real time information to driver
through Variable Messages and sign
Sending immediate response team to
accident spot.
Implementation of Incident
Management in Eastern Freeway
SOS can be installed on elevated
portion near refineries or curve
and inside the tunnel on eastern
freeway.
Immediate response team should
be such that, they will be at the
accident site within 10min from
the time they get a call from SOS.
Smart Roads
Dynamic Paints Dynamic Lines
Dynamic paints and lightning system in
Netherland.
A smart road design that features glow in the dark tarmac and illuminated weather
indicators are installed in the Netherlands from mid-2013.
The Smart Highway by Studio Roosegaarde and infrastructure management group
Heijmans won Best Future Concept at the Dutch Design Awards
photo-luminising powder that will replace road markings -- it charges up in sunlight,
giving it up to ten hours of glow-in-the-dark time come nightfall. "It's like the glow in the
dark paint
Implementation of Smart Roads in
Eastern Freeway
These type of paints can be used not only on eastern freeway but also on any highway in India.
This will save the electricity required for lamps ,will be attractive and will also keep driver active.
