IBM Transportation Management Center

Road Users and their expectations

I wish there was more reliable public

transport options to take my familyaround. No option is as cost-effective as my

scooter. But, I am scared driving in peak hours

with large vehicles passing by.

We tuk-tuk guys

get blamed forevery problemon the road. Yetpeople cannotlive without us.

Wish there wereways to reducemy idle time and

idle run toincrease myincome.

No one understands our work conditions orchallenges. We get blamed for all accidents.

Our owners put pressure on us to increaserevenue, forcing us to make mistakes on the

road. I wish there were better bus-bays.

Pedestrians life is

so unsafe on theroads. Roads are

just not walkable. How do I get to my

bus stop / trainstation? No oneplans forpedestrians.

Private Car UserScooterist

I wish I had planned myjourney better. When willthis traffic jam will end?

Waste 2-3 hours eachday behind the wheel.

Dont think I will getparking space by thetime I reach

Key stakeholders for managing transportation in a city & theirchallenges

Mayor / CityExecutive

Control Room

O erator

City / Traffic / Transit

Planner

Traffic Warden / Field

Staff / Transit Operators

We work in difficult field conditions,

and need to respond to situation with

little insight

We cannot focus on violations during

peak hours, need to keep traffic

flowing

Even if I talk to my

colleague on radio, I do

not get clear picture of

traffic situation even afew blocks away

I need fact based performanceanalysis . Not just

anecdotes / examples

Despite a lot of investment in

road improvements, not sure if

traffic situation has improved?

I need to know how well my

city is prepared for this

upcoming major event .

Need a more dynamic way to

manage signages

I need seamless communication

with other agencies

Most of the loops are

dysfunctional and giveerroneous data

How do we track and monitor so many

cameras ? We have only 2 eyes each ! From Control Room, we only react! We

need to predict and plan for situations.

I need direct and real-time awareness of major

issues they need to be automatically brought

to my attention ..!

I need long-term

reliable data on traffic &transit for better

planning decisions

Need to understand

trends, not just slice-in-

time data

Need capability to

forecast, predict,

simulate..

Need to synchronize different modes of transport

Need insight to optimize routes, and enhance

public transit ridership

Attributes of a Smarter Transportation Management Centre

Situational Awareness inContext

Awareness as insight not just data Shared awareness of situation, wherever they

are Same information, many views Review past data / situations on-the-fly Alerts & notifications --- Managed

Automated interpretation of the situation Quantifies the situation

Collaborative IntelligentResponse

Not just see the same truth together, but ACTon it together

Work across information and organizationalsilos / domain boundaries of agencies

Better utilize limited resourcesoptimize Respond & communicate in real time

Embed institutional memory in process &systems

Continuous improvement enabled

Ability to Anticipate, Forecast,Predict and Plan

Predict conditions in near future (traffic / busarrivals) Anticipate congestion, cascading impact of

events Enable all categories of road users to plan

their trips / journeys Simulate events & traffic impact of events Decision support for policy options (eg. Truck

ban)

Scalable, Flexible and OpenSystem & Readily deployable

Solution can scale up as the city grows anexpandable architecture Flexibleeach city has unique requirements

processes, KPIs. Enable without majorcustomization

Opencan be built upon Adaptableintegrates with vide variety of

legacy systems Pre-integrated, tested and delivered fast


6/7



This is not a Technology buzz, the benefits are tangible

Traffic delays 20-50%

Congestion 25%

Public transport ridership 10-30%

Wait at pedestrians crossings

Walking and cycling travel 80%

35%

incident response time 80%

vehicle collisions 30%

cyclist injuries 30%

pedestrian accidents 65%

Retail sales in congested areas 6%

Many cities that have undertaken such

transformation have experienced:

Many cities around the world are

embarking on the Smarter

Transportation journey .
