TrafficBoxKey platform for distributed motorway systems
TrafficBoxThe TrafficBox is Peek Traffic’s response to a market,
requiring a flexible and compact roadside platform for
distributed motorway systems. The TrafficBox stands for
innovation and reliability. It has been developed for the
European market.
FunctionalityA TrafficBox monitors and controls a certain part of a
motorway. The functionality it offers depends on the appli-
cations that are installed. Peek Traffic has an extensive
range of applications available for the TrafficBox.
Applications are designed to maximize safety, flow and fuel
efficiency. For example, the TrafficBox can autonomously
detect incidents and warn traffic upstream. Or in case of
heavy pollution the TrafficBox will automatically lower the
speed limits. Road workers’ safety is guaranteed by placing
cross measures on certain lanes.
In many cases, the MTM applications are installed on a
TrafficBox. MTM stands for Motorway Traffic Management,
which consists of an extensive set of inter-urban applica-
tions.
ArchitectureThe architecture of the TrafficBox is developed, based on
the principle of distributed intelligence. All components
communicate with an IP network layer. This enables
components, which are hosted on different TrafficBoxes, to
share information with each other.
The TrafficBox’ also uses the concept of graceful
degradation. When communication fails the TrafficBox
will continue its safety critical tasks. This is achieved by
dynamically switching to local algorithms.
ApplicabilityThe TrafficBox compact design will make it fit everywhere.
And long communication ranges to actuators and sensors
make it possible to place it at any convenient location.
All applications and configurations are managed from a
central server. The TrafficBox can also be locally configured
by means of a laptop. Service engineers have access to all
status and diagnostics reports by means of a user-friendly
web interface.
The TrafficBox is solid by design and built to last. All
components are designed for harsh climatic conditions
like extended temperatures, moisture and vibration.
Furthermore, the Operation System is based on a robust
version of Linux. All these design choices have resulted in a
product of extremely high reliability and durability.
Application portfolioThe four core functions of the TrafficBox are::
Traffic monitoring
Automatic incident warning
safety, flow
Lane control
safety
Speed signalling
safety, flow and environment
The application portfolio for the TrafficBox:
Traffic monitoring
Per vehicle: presence, classification and speed
Per minute: aggregated data and status
Automatic incident warning
Lane control for example during road works and inci-
dents
Speed signalling
In-vehicle speed & incident alert (based on Coopera-
tive Technology)
Control of peak hour lanes
Monitor emergency refuge areas
Tunnel safety
Weather alerts (e.g. fog, wind)
Operation of rotation panels
Operation of barriers
Interface with CCTV
Interface with bridges that open
Interface with height detection
Interface with ramp metering systems (TDI 3rd Gen,
based on an EC-2® )
Interface with toll and enforcement systems
