TITLE: Study of Road Safety levels of major corridors using ITS.

INTRODUCTION: What is Intelligent Transportation System ? It is a new and advanced form of services which is related to different type of transport and traffic management, it helps user to be more informed to make his journey safer and comfortable without any hazard by using smarter transportation network. This technology includes emergency calling, accidental services and using of cameras to enforce the traffic signs and laws on the people that are over the speed limit which depends on the condition.

SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of this project is:

o Mobility: ITS includes many approaches to enhance the mobility of people and freight in all transportation modes. Traveler Information helps travelers avoid congestion and can help improve traffic conditions. Traffic Management, e.g. the more effective timing of traffic signals, can help increase traffic efficiency.

 o Traffic Congestion: ITS can help to mitigate congestion by helping people plan travel better, by suggesting alternate routes and travel times, by keeping travelers well informed, by leveling traffic loads on roadways.

o Reducing Fatalities and Crash Severity: ITS is helping to shift the safety focus from minimizing the consequences of crashes (through the use of seat belts, head rests, impact absorbing front ends, etc.) to the use of technology to make crashes less severe and to prevent them altogether.

o Managing the Transportation Infrastructure: The effective management of modern transportation systems require better, faster, more comprehensive information about the current and future state of the system, and better management and control tools. One specific intent of ITS is to help provide information and tools of this kind like built in sensors in automobiles.

o Reducing Travel Uncertainty: ITS can help reduce travel uncertainty by smoothing traffic (and therefore reducing travel time variance).

o Increasing Efficiency for Operators: There are many other ways in which ITS can improve the operational efficiency of the transportation system. One of the most successful and widespread applications of ITS has been ETC.

Project Objectives

OBJECTIVES:

• Modern techniques of traffic surveillance: Before the advancement in techno-logy we used to provide human resource to have an eye of surveillance on the traffic flow, traffic rules and traffic discipline and it was all provided to bring safety in Transportation, but as the world has evolved and boosted towards being a global village today we are using modern techniques, modern equipment and maximum automation to bring a very less negligence to the transportation system. So, for that we use modern techniques of ITS by using modern equipment such as (Traffic sensor cameras, ANPR cameras, speed cameras and Mavic drones).
• Analysis of the accidents due to road severity: rod severity is a key issue in Pakistan and specially in Karachi today, because according to a survey in Pakistan about 60 percent of road accidents in Pakistan happen due to road conditions which includes road rupture, path hole in roads, extra smooth road surfaces causing accidents and we will use these intelligent technology-based equipment to analyze these accidents.
• Road accident mapping using GIS: GIS is a special system that collects, analyze ,maps ,locates and provides any kind of data and in our third objective we will try to provide the GIS MAPPING of accidents on the 2 major corridors of Karachi one as  Shahra-e-Faisal and second as Shahra-e-Pakistan and the benefit of this data will be to the whole community and humanity because after providing major risk points of accidents on these route the travelers will take precautions to escape any kind of accident.
• To achieve maximum SDG’s: there are about 17 SDG’s that has to be achieved till the year 2030 by maximum countries and in which almost every SDG is to provide protection to the human life and all of our ITS project is purely based on the human benefit and safety .

There-fore it is clear and obvious that our project of “Study of road safety levels of major corridors using ITS” is purely an ICT based ITS project for the welfare and benefit of the society, community and humanity.

Project Implementation Method

REAL WORLD IMPLEMENTATION OF USING ITS The real world implementation of using ITS are :

o In the city of Glasgow, Scotland, Intelligent Transport System gives regular information to the daily commuters about public buses, timings, seat availability, the current location of the bus, the time taken to reach a particular destination, next location of the bus and the density of passengers inside the bus.

o The Seoul government has designed the routes of its new night bus services based on an analysis of night-time mobile phone location data. The city worked with private telecoms companies to analyse calls made between midnight and 5 am, and matched this data, anonymously and in aggregate, with billing addresses to determine which routes would experience greater demand for overnight services.

o The city of New Orleans has optimised the locations of its ambulances on standby, based on patterns of emergency calls. o The highly anticipated Sydney Metro, Australia’s biggest public transport project, will feature a driverless mass-transit system that is anticipated to nearly double the city’s existing transit capacity. Operations of the 36-km Northwest line are expected to start in 2019.

o The Cityringen project in Copenhagen is a very ambitious project. The Cityringen is a driverless metro that will form a new circular line in the centre of the city and consists of two parallel tunnels some 15.5 km long and 17 underground stations, situated an average of 30 metres below street level. The fully automated line is driverless and, once fully operational, will provide a 24-hour transport system that guarantees the mobility of 240,000 passengers a day (or 130m a year)

Benefits of the Project

The benefits that we will get rom these projects are as follow:

o Mobility: ITS includes many approaches to enhance the mobility of people and freight in all transportation modes. Traveler Information helps travelers avoid congestion and can help improve traffic conditions. Traffic Management, e.g. the more effective timing of traffic signals, can help increase traffic efficiency.

o Reducing Fatalities and Crash Severity: ITS is helping to shift the safety focus from minimizing the consequences of crashes (through the use of seat belts, head rests, impact absorbing front ends, etc.) to the use of technology to make crashes less severe and to prevent them altogether.

o Managing the Transportation Infrastructure: The effective management of modern transportation systems require better, faster, more comprehensive information about the current and future state of the system, and better management and control tools. One specific intent of ITS is to help provide information and tools of this kind like built in sensors in automobiles.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Some technical details are discussed as follow:

1. To capture a wide angle view of the corridors using modern equipment such as drones and stable cameras 
2. To monitor a both side of road traffic simultaneously using a heighted area or a drone 
3. Capturing the view of a moving vehicle to observe its behaviour from a range of 1 km to 2 km using a drone
