Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are mainly developing in the central part of Russia. For example, in Moscow, such systems make it possible to reduce the length of road congestion, optimize public transport routes, promptly notify drivers and passengers about the situation on the road, etc. ITS on federal highways, as a rule, are implemented on Russian high-speed toll roads. The objectives of ITS on highways are to increase the level of traffic safety, reduce operating costs for road maintenance, etc.

The smart road ecosystem includes solutions for collecting and processing data about vehicles and road infrastructure for decision making, including:

  • traffic flow detectors;
  • adaptive (smart) traffic lights;
  • means of automatically recording traffic violations;
  • electronic means of non-stop fare payment;
  • parking meters;
  • connected information boards;
  • automated lighting control systems;
  • other connected objects (for example, automatic road weather stations, road controllers, etc.);
  • GPS/GLONASS systems.

As a rule, all components of a “smart road” are combined on the basis of a single platform. However, even alone they allow solving a large number of local problems. For example, traffic lights at intersections change based on the current traffic situation, which increases throughput roads and reduces the likelihood of traffic jams. Automatic recording of traffic violations forces drivers to be more responsible, which, in turn, reduces the likelihood of accidents. Intelligent control of street lighting allows you to save energy.

ITS on federal highways

On federal highways, ITS is structured somewhat differently than in megacities. But the use of ITS, as in urban areas, can improve traffic safety, increase freight turnover, passenger turnover, reduce operating costs for maintaining roads, etc.

Situation centers on federal highways analyze information from various sensors and cameras, constantly monitor the number of cars, weather conditions, etc. Some highways have information boards that warn drivers of various unfavorable road conditions.

In this regard, the experience of toll sections of federal highways is indicative. For example, on the M-4 Don, almost 400 km of roads are tolled. The section from 21 to 93 km is a motorway of technical category 1A - a motorway with separated oncoming traffic flows and no traffic lights. ITS in this area allows you to monitor traffic, manage traffic, notify drivers about weather conditions, and inform about changes in the situation on the road.

Along the site, every 2-4 km, there are yellow terminals with the inscription SOS, with which you can call emergency responders. Help will also be provided when contacting contact center toll road operator 8-800-707-23-23. If necessary, the road emergency commissioner calls emergency services, helps with the evacuation of vehicles to a special parking lot.

As a rule, toll sections of roads have all the necessary infrastructure: hotels, gas stations, auto repair shops, cafes, toilets, multifunctional areas, etc. According to Roman Starovoit, head of Rosavtodor, in 2016, experts analyzed and optimized the work of service points along federal highways. He noted that redundancy of service zones leads to traffic congestion and accidents. As a result of the analysis, a general layout of service zones was created. According to Rosavtodor's plans, 800 new facilities and 250 multifunctional zones will be created in the near future.

Other ITS elements

The automated weather support system has been in operation since 2007. There are almost 1 thousand weather stations and almost 1.5 thousand video cameras installed on federal highways. The situation on federal highways is monitored online.

The operational monitoring system includes automated traffic metering points, their number reaches 1 thousand. Such systems are used situation center Rosavtodor.

The analytical control system for the transport complex (ACS TC) is in the process of creation. It is being implemented to effectively monitor the state of the country’s transport complex and the level of its technological safety. Automatic control system is planned to be integrated with all the most important information resources both the transport industry and other sectors of the economy.

The State Information System for Highway Navigation (GIS NAD) is in the process of creation. GIS OVER will form the basis of almost all navigation and information services.

Digital economy of the Russian Federation: Virtual reality will simulate road traffic

In 2017, the government commission on the use of information technologies to improve people’s lives and business conditions approved action plans in four areas of the Digital Economy program, including the direction of “Formation of research competencies and technological groundwork.” The “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation” program was created on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The VR and AR platform will also be used for traffic simulation modeling for traffic management centers: it will be used to create software system simulation modeling of road traffic with the ability to display in virtual reality for traffic management centers.

The document provides for the creation of a software package for instrumental monitoring of the diagnostic condition of roads, designed for the collection, accumulation, storage, consolidation, analysis and interactive visual presentation of data on the condition of roads received from various measuring and recording equipment, government bodies and the population.

The purpose of this project is to provide the opportunity to transfer to interested organizations complete, objective and reliable information about the transport and operational state of roads, the degree of compliance of actual consumer properties, parameters and characteristics of traffic requirements in accordance with industry road standards, as well as analysis of this information and reporting.

The project will solve the following types of problems: diagnostics and certification of highways, assessment of transport and operational condition, quality control of completed construction and road repair work, determination of consumer properties and technical level highway, measurement geometric parameters and characterization of highways, including identification of pavement defects.

Project of non-cash payment for travel in Sochi

In 2017, NIITS developed recommendations for the administrations of Russian cities on the effective implementation of smart city elements without attracting budget funds. It was possible to develop recommendations under which it is possible to monetize some of the elements of a smart city. The recommendations involve combining into one investment program various elements of a smart city that are attractive to private investors.

NIITS has developed a set of documents necessary for the implementation of elements of a “smart city” at the expense of a private investor in Sochi. One of these elements is a comprehensive Intelligent Transport System. The documents contain recommendations on the organizational, legal and technical appearance of the ITS. The estimated amount of private investment in such a system in the city of Sochi is more than 380 million rubles, with no city expenses.

Cashless payment will increase the efficiency of fare control and ensure the implementation of flexible system tariffs, personalized accounting of the provision of benefits, will increase the collection of fares, improve the working conditions of employees of the passenger transport system, and will provide the possibility of introducing a conductorless fare payment scheme. Dispatching will ensure the quality of traffic control of vehicles carrying out passenger transportation in the city, the quality of scheduling and analysis of routes, the automation of maintaining a register of vehicles of carrier companies, the analysis of data on the speed of movement of these vehicles, the automation of the formation of forecasts for the arrival of public transport at stopping points, and others. improvements.

The uniqueness of the NIITS concept is that for the first time ITS is part of the city’s ecosystem, which includes a comprehensive solution: dispatch and non-cash payment linked to other elements of the smart city. Traditional solutions for non-cash payment are being implemented in isolation from the holistic “smart city” system.

Following the developed recommendations, city administrations can, through the implementation of some elements of a “smart city,” develop other elements of this ecosystem without attracting budgetary funds. For example, elements of the “Sochi tourism platform” are based on ITS. Thus, the means of payment for the cashless fare payment system in public transport becomes universal. It can also be used to pay others municipal services Sochi, for example, beaches and other tourist and excursion services.

FSB arrested the head of Moscow "smart transport"

The funds were allocated by the authorities for the maintenance and repair of the city’s intelligent transport system (ITS), the contract amount is 3.9 billion rubles. Filippov was detained as a result of a search at the enterprise and taken under arrest for two months. It is unknown exactly how much money was allegedly stolen by him. The basis for the arrest was part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of Russia, which provides punishment for theft committed fraudulently and on an especially large scale.

Research and Markets: the global market for smart road solutions will reach $2.6 billion by 2022

According to forecasts from the research agency Research and Markets, the market for solutions for building “smart roads” will reach $2.6 billion by 2022 with a CAGR of about 24%. The main market driver will be solutions aimed at ensuring road safety. The governments of many countries are seriously concerned about the increase in the number of road accidents, and information Technology allow us to decide this problem, the agency noted.

The most popular segment of the smart road market is traffic flow detectors. Research and Markets analysts suggest that during 2016-2022, these sensors will continue to occupy a leading position in the market due to increased investment and the emergence of a large number of specialized startups.

Maintenance and repair services for ITS equipment

According to J’son & Partners Consulting, by 2020 in Russia there will be almost 43 thousand connected objects in the ITS segment. The largest number of connections will remain such peripheral devices as photo and video recording systems and vehicle detectors.

Assessment of the automated traffic control system market and main trends

Smart traffic lights

Automated traffic control systems are designed for centralized or local automated traffic control (vehicle and pedestrian flows). Such systems are a collection peripheral devices, combined into single network, with a central control point (CPU).

Peripheral devices included in the automated traffic control system/ITS (using the example of automated traffic control system and road traffic control system) include:

  • road controllers;
  • traffic flow (traffic) detectors;
  • signs and displays of variable information;
  • CCTV cameras (video cameras);
  • automatic road weather stations (weather stations);
  • evaluative weight control subsystems;
  • speed control systems;
  • other “connected” devices.

Based on historical and current data received from sensors and cameras, traffic flows are regulated (for example, priorities are assigned). Both the selection of ready-made regulation models and the adjustment of individual existing parameters to current conditions can occur.

According to consultants J’son & Partners Consulting, projects to create integrated automated traffic control systems will actively develop in our country, primarily due to the need to further combat traffic jams and as part of the overall strategy to increase road safety. An important factor is the possibility of replenishing regional budgets by automating the processes of recording and issuing fines for traffic violators. In 2016, a number of large cities, for example, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, etc., announced competitions for the creation of such systems.

The first intelligent (adaptive) traffic lights appeared in Moscow in 2007 on a 7.5 km pilot section. The sensors located on them read data on the density and speed of vehicles, weather conditions, etc. The information is transmitted to a single system control center via wireless communication and is used to optimally regulate traffic flow. According to data at the beginning of 2015, a significant proportion of traffic light facilities in the capital are connected to automated system traffic control (ATCS). Projects for the implementation of “smart” traffic lights are also being developed in other large cities - St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Yekaterinburg, etc.

The first centrally computer-controlled traffic lights appeared in the USA and Canada in the 1960s. In 2010, IBM developers planned to patent technology that could remotely turn off the engines of cars approaching an intersection if the traffic light is red. Copenhagen plans to install 380 smart traffic lights, which will be configured to give priority to cyclists and public transport. If the project is successfully implemented, the speed of travel by bicycle in Copenhagen will increase by 10%, and by bus by 5–20%.

Tools for automatically recording traffic violations

Complexes for automatically recording violations of the Road Traffic Rules (TRAF) include both photo and video recording equipment (“cameras”), and special technical means(measuring instruments).

According to data at the beginning of 2016, in Russia, several thousand control zones are covered by automatic recording systems for violations of the Traffic Rules; since November 2014, their number has increased by 36%. The main trend in this segment is the expansion of the range of types of detected offenses. In addition to recording facts of speeding, such systems record violations of the rules for passing signalized intersections, facts of entering oncoming traffic and driving under a “brick”, violations in the areas of railway crossings, facts of failure to provide priority in traffic to pedestrians in the area of ​​pedestrian crossings and the movement of vehicles in lanes for public transport, violation of stopping and parking rules, etc.

The cost of installing a stationary photo and video recording system averages about 4 million rubles. However, the systems quickly pay for themselves both in terms of economics (fines received) and efficiency (reduction in the number of traffic accidents). For example, in Tomsk, several stationary complexes collected almost 58 million rubles in fines over the 10 months of 2015.

In the Moscow region, stationary systems for recording traffic violations in the first half of 2015 brought 560 million rubles to the budget. Thus, funds from private investors can also be attracted to the implementation of such projects, which can speed up the pace of equipping roads with stationary and mobile complexes for photo and video recording of traffic violations.

Electronic means of non-stop fare payment

At the beginning of 2016, the only electronic means of non-stop toll payment used on Russian toll roads are DSRC transponders. These are relatively inexpensive devices that attach to windshield vehicle and providing information exchange via a wireless channel with antennas at toll points. To encourage the use of transponders, drivers are provided with discounts on travel.

A larger-scale project was launched on November 15, 2015. The Platon toll collection system was created to ensure compliance with the procedure for collecting tolls to compensate for damage caused to public roads of federal significance by vehicles with a permissible maximum weight of over 12 tons. The vehicle owner pays a fee using one of the payment calculation options to choose from:

  • registration of a one-time route card;
  • use of an on-board device equipped with a GPS / Glonass satellite navigation system.

In the latter case, funds are written off automatically.

The main limiting factor in the development of the Plato system is the social tension associated with the implementation of this project and the great resonance in the media. Thus, on February 20, 2016, truckers in a number of Russian regions began a strike demanding the abolition of the Platon system. They called not to take orders and not to go on flights until March 1, 2016. It was reported that heavy truck drivers from 43 regions of Russia were participating in the action.

The 1C:ITS information system was created specifically for 1C:Enterprise users. It provides tax recommendations business transactions, step-by-step instructions for reflecting them in the program, instructions for drawing up accounting, tax reporting and reporting on insurance premiums and sending them to in electronic format directly from 1C:Enterprise, as well as news, comments and advice from specialists on accounting, tax and personnel issues.

Uniqueness of the 1C:ITS information system is that the authors of all included materials are the developers of the 1C:Enterprise programs, auditors and methodologists of the 1C company.

1C methodologists daily monitor changes in legislation and develop methods for accounting for a particular business transaction, accounting for taxes, filling out declarations, and so on. Then programmers, based on these techniques, make changes to the programs, and methodologists write materials for IS 1C:ITS. Thus, all business situations, materials on taxes and reporting are considered from two points of view: from the position of legislation and from the position of application of legislation in 1C programs, taking into account the methodology embedded in these programs.
