  2. Contents • ITS at a Glance • Example of an ITS Benefit, Its Services, and Required Facilities • The Benefits-Services-Facilities-Transport Entity Relationship Model • ITS Framework, Architecture, and Strategy • Envisioned Role for NTI Concerning ITS Deployment in Egypt Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  3. 1. ITS (Intelligent Transport System) at a Glance - 1 • Definition*: ITS is a generic term for the integrated application of communications, control and information processing technologies to the transportation system. The resultant benefits save lives, time, money, energy and the environment. • Scope*: ITS covers all modes of transport and considers all elements of the transportation system – the vehicle, the infrastructure, and the driver or user, interacting together dynamically. * ITS Handbook (2nd Edition) 2008 Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  4. 1. ITS (Intelligent Transport System) at a Glance - 2 • Stakeholders: ITS Stakeholders Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  5. 1. ITS (Intelligent Transport System) at a Glance - 3 • Benefits: ITS Benefits Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  6. 1. ITS (Intelligent Transport System) at a Glance - 4 Also, ICT Providers & Electronic Payment Providers will gain Economic Benefits Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  7. 1. ITS (Intelligent Transport System) at a Glance - 5 • Services: ITS Services enable Stakeholders to get Benefits For each Benefit, a number of Services are invoked • Resources: ITS Services require the use of ITS Resources ITS Resources are placed at Transport Entities Transport Entities, include: Vehicle - Roads – Highways– Inlets/Exits - Control Centers Resources, include: Sensors – Displays – SW Applications – Computers – Communication Equipment & Networks - Staff Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  8. 2. Example of an ITS Benefit, Its Services, and Required Facilities - 1 • Sample Benefit: • Helping to Relieve Congestion Using ITS services one can reduce congestion by: - instrumentingnetworks to improve their real-time operation - introducing control systems - managing demand - encouraging off-peak travel or the use of alternative transport modes Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  9. 2. Example of an ITS Benefit, Its Services, and Required Facilities - 2 • ITS Services corresponding to “Helping to Relieve Congestion”: Network Efficiency Services • Helping to Relieve Congestion - Area-wide traffic control (e.g. by co-ordinating traffic signals to minimize delays and queues in a dynamic, traffic responsive way) - Long-distance traffic management - Rerouting guidance - Variable speed controls - Incident detection and management - Driver information Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  10. 2. Example of an ITS Benefit, Its Services, and Required Facilities - 3 • ITS Services corresponding to “Helping to Relieve Congestion”: • Helping to Relieve Congestion Demand Management Services - Access control - Road user charging - Congestion charging - Vehicle recognition and restriction - Camera systems for traffic signal and speed enforcement Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  11. 2. Example of an ITS Benefit, Its Services, and Required Facilities - 4 • ITS Services corresponding to “Helping to Relieve Congestion”: • Helping to Relieve Congestion Encouragement of Modal Shift Services - Journey planning - Real-time passenger information systems - Bus/tram traffic priority (by giving ‘green waves’ through traffic signals to give priority to bus/tram services and emergency vehicles, thus improving punctuality and reliability) - Electronic payment systems allowing passengers to save time, including: ‘smart cards’, flexible ticketing, cash free travel Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  12. Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  13. 3. The Benefits-Services-Resources-Transport Entity Relationship Model • Improving Safety & Security Benefits • Comfort Factors • Helping to Relieve Congestion Services • Productivity & Operational Efficiency • Environ-mental Monitoring and Protection Remarks: - One “Service” can enable a # of “Benefits” - Required “Resources” for different “Transport Entities” can differ for the same “Service” Deployed Resources at Transport Entities Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  14. 4. ITS Framework, Architecture, and Strategy - 1 • Different countries use different approaches to determine: • ITS Goals • ITS Services • ITS Subsystems • ITS Standards & Protocols This leads to National ITS Framework & Architecture Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  15. 4. ITS Framework, Architecture, and Strategy - 2 • Different countries (& different Transport Authorities in the same country) develop different plans for ITS deployment, based on: • Needs • Priorities • Budget • …….. This leads to National and/or Local ITS Strategy Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  16. 5. Envisioned Role for NTI Concerning ITS Deployment in Egypt - 1 • Tremendous effort has been undertaken by other countries to develop their: • ITS Framework and Architecture • ITS Strategy Egypt needs to learn from these experiences while formulating its own “ITS Framework & Architecture” and its “ITS Strategy”. NTI plans to contribute to such a collective national effort, and has included this objective in its “5 Year Strategic Plan” Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  17. 5. Envisioned Role for NTI Concerning ITS Deployment in Egypt - 2 • The building blocks for “ITS Services” are: • Sensors (Cameras, Radar, Detectors, RFID, … ) • Displays (LED, LCD, Plasma, … ) • Software Applications (Incident Detection, Fleet Management, Variable Speed Control, Reroute Guidance, … ) • Processing Equipment (Servers, PCs, PLCs, … ) • Communication Equipment & Networks (Wireless Transmitters & Receivers, VANET, GSM, GPRS, GPS, … ) • Qualified Personnel (for Operation, Maintenance, and Management) Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  18. 5. Envisioned Role for NTI Concerning ITS Deployment in Egypt - 3 NTI has qualified Staff and advanced lab equipment in the areas of Electronics, Computers, Communication Networks, and hence it may: - Help in evaluating different ITS products - Help in understanding different ITS standards & protocols - Help in field activities related to testing and commissioning - help in development of products (e.g. hardware that adapts to local environment, or software that has Arabized interfaces) - Help to qualify ITS personnel in charge of various operational activities. Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges

  19. 5. Envisioned Role for NTI Concerning ITS Deployment in Egypt - 4 • ITS is an evolving field that: • Benefits from technological advancement • Needs collaborative effort by all stakeholders NTI intends to play a key role in ITS evolution in Egypt, by: - Developing DB of all ITS stakeholders in Egypt, to facilitate interaction and collaboration • Co-organizing events dedicated to ITS (workshops, conferences, seminars, … ) • Building an “Electronic Repository” of ITS information (reports, standards, papers, studies, data sheets, … ) Mahmoud EL-HADIDI ITS in Egypt: Opportunities & Challenges
