2.2 Details of traffic management system (TMS)
Information management of TMS is divided into three steps: collecting, processing and
servicing:
a) Information collecting system
Traffic information is collected via vehicle detection system (VDS) and CCTV.
Information collected is transmitted to the information processing system at the
information center via the information network of the Hanoi - Hai Phong. Highway
Project.
b) Information processing system
Information collected is processed for various purposes, including traffic situations
and providing information about traffic status. Then the processed information is
delivered to locations in need of information.
c) Information servicing system
Processed information will be transmitted to the monitoring system at the CMO
(Central Management Office), particularly the Traffic Information Center to manage
traffic. Traffic information is distributed by a variety of methods such as VMS, SMS,

Internet, TV and publishing in traffic radio.

3. THE PROJECT OF APPLYING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN 2015
-2020 PERIOD
Currently, the Prime Minister has issued Decree No. 32/2014/ND-CP of the Government on
management, exploitation and maintenance of highways. Ministry of Transport has been


working with JAICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) to issue regulations and
standards on the ITS system for highways. Because the project is implemented on a BOT
contractual basis between VIDIFI and Ministry of Transport, to ensure rationality and
economic efficiency in performing, exploiting and operating... the traffic management
system TMS, is also a part of the intelligent traffic system, will be implemented in stages,
systems mentioned above belongs to the first phase of the project. In the future, other

Solution to reduce traffic jams
(1) Ramp control
Control traffic volume on the highway with ramps before traffic congestion happens on
major routes. This is a successful proactive management technique in America. Europe and
other developed countries.


Example of highway ramps in other countries are shown on the picture below

Foreign examples of signal control at highway ramps

(2) Ramp control method
The vehicles going into highways can impede the traffic flow and make other vehicles on
the main routes and ramps reduce their speed to ensure safety, which affects surrounding
roads and the upper area. Ramp control techniques are used to regulate vehicles going into
the highway to ensure smooth flow on the highway.
Ramp control use traffic signals at highway ramps to regulate the flow of traffic on the
highway. This is a demand control technique applied to avoid traffic jams on the main roads.
The circle of traffic signals on the highway ramps is controlled based on analysis of data


like traffic flow, speed and road surface occupancy collected by the sensors installed on the
highway and the connecting routes.
(3) Automated traffic enforcement system (speed limit)
The speed limit on the highway must be stipulated in legal documents or regulations, named
as Enforcement Rule of Law on Road Traffic. The maximum speed must be in range of
designed speed limit issued by the Ministry of Transport.
When the weather conditions are not favorable due to rain, fog, etc drivers must reduce their
speed. If the road is slippery due to rain, or snow below 20mm, speed must be reduced by
20% of the maximum speed. If the vision is within 100 meters due to rain, fog, etc speed
must be reduced by 50% of the maximum speed. Because there are different geometrically
structural factors limiting the designed speed for the highway, in order to make vehicles
operate safely within the designed speed, geometrically structural factors must be satisfied.

Figure 3.1: Automated traffic enforcement system
4) Vehicle speed enforcement system by section
An over speed vehicle control system using speed enforcement cameras installed at the
spots where drivers tend to accelerate their speed.


Figure 4.1 Vehicle speed enforcement system by section

5) Automated speed enforcement system (ATES) by spot
ATES is an automated system detecting vehicles violating traffic laws such as over speed or
trespassing bus lanes in real time, and automatically enforced the violation to release traffic
fines.

Figure 5.1 Automated speed enforcement system by spot
6) Lane control system (LCS)
Lane control system is used to support safe driving on highways by providing drivers with
information on the information board such as lane control for each lanes, speed limits and
safe speed as well as construction state and emergencies namely accidents, rock falls and
broken-down vehicles along the road.
Variable speed limit

Lane control


Figure 3.1 Lane control system
7) Road Weather Information System (RWIS)
RWIS system is set up to track the changing weather conditions, processing and transmitting
information to highway users in real time on the road.
RWIS always calculate rainfall, wind speed and wind direction and simultaneously transmit
the measured data to the CMO or traffic management center to monitor. Under bad weather,
the system automatically turns on the alarm for the operators. The system enabled the
notification about weather conditions and changes so the operator can consider and prevent
potential accidents that could happen next.

Figure 4.23 Road Weather Information System
8) Automatic vehicle location system (AVLS)
AVLS system provides drivers with information such as current location and moving
direction of highway patrol cars and maintenance vehicles with a combination of GPS

technology, wireless networks and on board units
