The Tecsidel ITS Plus solution is a traffic management system that covers traffic monitoring and the control and management of vehicular traffic. This solution can integrate the devices installed on the road with various systems and subsystems. The software platform (ITS+) is the basis of Tecsidel ITS Plus solution. ITS+ is compatible with the most popular communications protocols: NTCIP, PROFIBUS, MODBUS or DGT, and it can be integrated with SCADA systems. Tecsidel ITS Plus solution is a system of traffic management that covers monitoring, control and management of traffic. Through a series of tools, software and hardware, this solution is able to integrate devices installed on lanes, different systems and subsystems together, optimising the exploitation of resources and the communication with the management centre.
It is organized in three levels:
User Interface: Lane synoptic, including the location and status of equipment in real time.
Business logic: This is the core of the system and is responsible for processing the data obtained from the devices.
Access devices: Implementation of multiple communication protocols.
The modular architecture of the application is fully scalable and has a high adaptability. High configuration flexibility of each of the equipment, and allows users to meet all their needs regarding the visualization of the devices status from the highway.
The model used is the customer/server based on web technology between the central system and the operation centers. This allows having as many operating positions as needed with virtually no setup time while having remote access through VPNs.
The system applications are implemented using multi-thread technology, which allows that the blocking of communications with a device or any input/output component do not affect the other systems control.
In addition, it is prepared so that it can run on a cluster environment with processes redundancy managed by the cluster software management. The system is also ready to run on a virtual machine. Each user is associated with a language set for him or herself. Thus there may be users who use different languages within the same system.
It also includes data recording allowing post-accident investigation. Reports on each subsystem are generated on the GUI and in Portable Document Format (pdf) and exportable to Microsoft Excel format.
