Baku. Rashad Suleymanov â€“ APA-Economics. Preparation for the proposed Baku Intelligent Transport Management System Project has been completed and a groundbreaking ceremony will soon be held for a system management center, said Azerbaijanâ€™s Ministry of Transport.
Top-of-the-line monitoring and controlling devices will be installed at the center.
South Koreaâ€™s SK C&C won a contract from Azerbaijan in May, 2008 for the establishment of the system.
After implemented, the system will collect traffic data in real-time from data collection media (detector-video, loop and radar, CCTV, etc), send data in real-time to the Intelligent Transport System Servers for the detention of unforeseen incidents, special situations and repeated congestion and the management of traffic flow, parking, and movement on bridges and overpasses through entrance/exit ramp control and lane control.
Besides, data transfer and signaling system will enable to improve traffic flow in case of special situations such as extreme congestion or unforeseen situations based on data collected in real-time in the servers through local detectors, surveillance and monitoring devices along the roads.
At the first phase, 20 electronic information boards, 77 detector-videos, 30 unauthorized parking regulators, 55 surveillance cameras and 546 loops will be installed. The project timeframe is two years.
