Finally, the traffic control systems will be integrated which will give the BTMB real-time tools to manage traffic in Beijing on permanent basis.Īs Orbix becomes operational, controlling the information flow, the BTMB is able to reorganize traffic control, modify police deployments and direct traffic police more accurately. The next phase is to bring all real-time and near real-time systems online, which will integrate data from several static data sources.

The framework will be expanded in several phases up to 2008. The IONA platform provides the CORBA-compliant functionality required for transparent, system-wide data transport and integration between the various sub-systems within the BTMB. The ITS has been built using IONA’s Orbix 2000. The Dublin-headquartered IONA Technologies is the contractor for the implementation and design of the ITS project.

This is sent to a number of different end-users within the BTMB.Īnother function of the first phase of the project is to create a basic framework upon which additional systems can be integrated as the BTMB continues to build its full ITS in advance of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. The system collects, processes, analyzes, displays and stores real-time traffic status information from a variety of independent systems. Phase I of the project is to accumulate traffic data from around the city. The government has allocated CNY3 billion ($157 million) and the private sector CNY8 billion ($217 million) for the ITS project.īTMB, a Chinese government agency that manages and controls traffic in Beijing, has developed an overall project implementation plan based on future traffic estimates, with special emphasis on traffic needs of the 2008 Olympic Games.īeijing’s chessboard-like road network is an integration of highways, which are composed of ring roads, arterial roads, minor roads and sideways. The Ministry of Transportation, Science & Technology, Communication, Central Government of China, the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau (BTMB) and Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee are the joint sponsors of the project. Additionally, there are over 11 million non-motorized vehicles, and a vast number of transit vehicles running in Beijing. The number of cars in Beijing is now close to two million with around three million drivers. Beijing administration is developing the ITS to efficiently manage the planned road infrastructure and increase in traffic volume, as well as the traffic generated during the Olympics. It is estimated that there will be about 18,000 buses and 650 bus lanes carrying 4.5 billion passengers each year by 2008. The company has deployed IONA real-time traffic management system to implement the ITS. The information will be used to control and streamline the traffic.ĬS&S Delineate is implementing the first phase of the project. The project – Beijing Real-Time Traffic Information Collection, Processing, Analysis and Distribution System – Phase I – is intended to collect, process, analyze, display, and store real-time traffic status information from various independent systems in and around the city. Beijing, the Olympics host city, is a metropolis spread over 16,800km² with 11 million inhabitants. Beijing is developing an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) as part of its preparations for the 2008 Olympics.īeijing has nearly 2 million cars, over 11 million non-motorized vehicles, and a vast number of transit vehicles running on its road each day.Īs part of China’s preparations to host the 2008 Olympics, an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is being developed to cope with the traffic during the event.
