FOCUS AREAS ON NATIONAL ROADS Causes – Traffic Density

Intelligent Transport Systems SANRAL is in the process to implement Intelligent Transport Systems for freeways in Gauteng. The system utilizes different technologies such as traffic detectors, CCTV and electronic tags in vehicles to collect information about traffic conditions and to detect incidents The information collected is processed at the Network Management Centre (NMC) that is located at the Midrand Fire Station. At/from the NMC - –The public is informed about traffic conditions/incidents –Emergency services are informed about incidents and provided with real time images from the incident – Intelligent decisions to optimise traffic flows are taken.

ITS (continued) Information is provided to the public by means of: –Variable (electronic) Message Signs (VMS) –Radio reports –SMS services –A web page SANRAL almost completed the first phase of the project for the Ben Schoeman: –The NMC was set up –Fiber optic communication backbone in place –70 CCTV cameras –10 Variable Message Signs –Traffic detectors

Note: Allocations for 2007/08 and 2008/09 still subject to final adjustments

Excl. Expansions Sustaining Network: Routine Maintenance = R25 000/km/year Resurfacing = R /km/10 years Strengthening = R /km/25 years
