Raw data for the service comes from traffic light control systems, human observers, tow truck allocation systems, probe vehicles that report their position and progress, roadside weather sensors, and a calendar of major events. The system went live in Melbourne late last year, and was expected to begin operation in Sydney and Brisbane in the first quarter of 2008. No explanation for the delay has been given. There is no news of progress on the Adelaide and Perth services that were also supposed to commence this year. The announcement of a midyear start in Sydney follows yesterday's major incident on the city's F3 freeway that blocked the road for hours. "Intelematics is looking to soon begin trialing the service in Sydney and is aiming to begin rolling out the service for the CBD during the next few months," said Adam Game, CEO of Intelematics Australia, the company that operates SUNA Traffic Channel. The TMC system used by SUNA is widely deployed in Europe. It is also used in the US, and has been approved as a standard in China. |
