PROPOSAL AT A GLANCE
Proposal name:
Integrated Information and Assistant System, INIAS
Subject:
Subject:
The INIAS is designed for a surface transport. It secures both, communication between transport infrastructure and vehicles, and between vehicles themselves, as well. Chosen /Selected / information about traffic situation is transferred by the communication ad-hoc network. The information is processed in transport centres. The goal is, to inform early drivers and also operating, secure and rescue services.
The INIAS arranges the next:
- valuation of collision and danger situations in a traffic,
- transfer of actual information from a road network to the transport control centre,
- transfer of the chosen information from the road control centre to dynamic traffic signs and information signposts,
- transfer of the chosen information directly to the vehicle on-board unit
- additional customer services of the road traffic who are equipped with vehicle on-board unit

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposal Outline:
Proposal Thesis:
The goal of the proposed INIAS is:
- to increase safety in transport by early caution in case of some collision situations on the road by using of the dynamic traffic signs or by the on-board unit,
- to reduce waiting period of the vehicles and also pollution production by early diverting the traffic in cases of the collision,
- to increase comfort of each traffic participant
- to use better the road network by suitable regulating of the vehicles.
The next additional services of the INIAS:
- automatic payments like (parking fees, road fees – function of electronic purse),
- to give priority to the special vehicles like (ambulance and so on…),
- to make localization of the vehicles equipped with the on-board unit…
The INIAS consists of the following items:
On-board unit (OBU) functions:
- to transmit and receive short messages in limited range (approx. 100m) in bands (ISM 802.15.4) /Industrial Scientific Medical/, latter RTTT, /Route Traffic Transport Telematics/
- to be able to communicate with a traffic infrastructure communication unit and next on-board units located in the unit coverage,
- to give important information to a driver in visual or acoustic way,
- to record selected operating situations and other chosen information about working order of the vehicle,
- to be able to valuate the chosen parameters of driving, vehicle approximate speed, acceleration or approximate location (GPS-GALILEO, RFID),
- to offer additional services (function of electronic purse, navigation services and so on…)
We suppose that each on-board unit has got own address. The address consists of a unique static part and dynamic one, which is assigned to the vehicle by the transport infrastructure.
Communication unit of the transport infrastructure – (CU)
It communicates with the on-board units in operating range (approx. 100m) and the relevant transport control centre. These units allow to control the dynamic traffic signs and information signposts. They are a part of the transport infrastructure and will be located according to actual possibilities and needs. We suppose to install them next to the information signposts and dynamic traffic signs.
Traffic Control Centre (TCC)
Provides information processing which acquires by the transport infrastructure units. By help of the OBU and the dynamic traffic signs it informs the drivers, controls direction of traffic flows and provides all activities in relation to service control of the road network.
The chosen traffic information is able to offer to public networks.
During the project solving we suppose the following practice:
- an analysis of possibilities in information obtaining about actual traffic situation, as well as the situation of each followed traffic element in a region,
- an analysis of the information flows in particular levels of the road network the way to provide all required system functions at minimal contain data processing,
- a proposal of suitable communication network structure and to define requires for an information transfer level of encryption, to provide reliability of the transfer )
- a proposal of message structure and traffic information,
- a proposal/a choice of suitable communication protocols,
- a proposal of functions and specifications of all made demands for the on-board unit,
- a specification of made demands for the transport infrastructure unit,
- an optimal location proposal of the transport infrastructure units,
- an analysis and modelling of a road network reaction alternatively in different levels of traffic service participants equipped by the on-board units (network communication ability in low number of the vehicles, network saturation and so on..),
- method development for traffic flow optimal direction in case of incomplete information,
- collision and overflowing prediction of the critical road network,
- a development and design of the on-board unit upon prior specification,
- a development and design of the road infrastructure unit,
- a software development of unit prototype,
- hardware and software of the traffic control centre,
- the INIAS testing in practice,
- experiments and testing of new methods and algorithms which were suggested in theory.
