Abstract:
DATEX was designed and developed as a traffic and travel data exchange mechanism by a European task force set up to standardise the interface between traffic control and information centres. It has been the reference for applications that have been developed and implemented in Europe.
A traffic management plan (TMP) is developed in order to cope with road traffic disruptions that call for co-ordinated actions from the authorities and the different services responsible for road / traffic management on a given road or network.
Could we relate DATEX and TMPs?, Could we use DATEX in order to ease a TMP?
DATEX offers multiple information: weather conditions, traffic restrictions, rerouting, action plans, traffic status among other information… That data could be also indicate that it is a forecast (a prediction). It is a good feature to work over TMP and contribute also for strategic planning and helping for coordination among different entities.
DATEX opens multiple possibilities not only for TCC and TIC but also for end users that can get information from Services Providers therefore these end users can be informed via special devices as navigators or digital radio receivers.
The following presentation tries to analyse DATEX and its potential use to help the elaboration of a TMP. Even more, it will try to go one step ahead in order to fit TMP concept within DATEX therefore it could be an automated way to exchange TMP information.
It will be showed several scenarios that a TMP is needed. We will show how to manage the TMP with and without DATEX information.
