| The 5-year research and development program | | | | |
| of WRTMS is aimed to promote open systems | | | | Simply speaking " The safety of Passengers , |
| that support future road traffic management | | | | and Drivers is the main ROI of WRTMS". |
| policies, procedures, and measures, both in | | | | |
| Jordan, Gulf Area, and overseas. | | | | Why WRTMS is needed badly all over the globe: |
| | | | |
| The program comprises a number of projects | | | | - Huge reduction in the accidents rates. |
| investigating various aspects of road traffic | | | | |
| control systems infrastructure and | | | | - Protection of people lives. |
| applications. | | | | |
| | | | - No pursuiting of the speeding vehicles. |
| A key aspect of WRTMS systems is the | | | | |
| definition of cost effective communication | | | | - 100% coverage of all speeding vehicles. |
| architectures that take account of existing | | | | |
| and future developments in communication | | | | - Smart & more intelligent procedures & |
| technologies. | | | | policieswill be introduced in the police |
| | | | departmentsall over the globe. |
| Whilst the core WRTMS communications links | | | | |
| have traditionally been based upon landline | | | | - Drivers will think a lot before exceeding |
| telephone networks, the potential for | | | | thespeed limits. |
| deploying wireless communications is being | | | | |
| investigated in the WRTMS Program by the | | | | - The option to maintains the vehicle speeds |
| WRTMS Task Force, which is concerned with | | | | within a certain range in a particular area, |
| wireless communication links both within | | | | if the control module is deployed in that |
| WRTMS, and road users. | | | | area of the country. |
| | | | |
| Lets imagine a system where speeding vehicles | | | | WRTMS functionalities depend on the wireless |
| can be detected any where, any time; then it | | | | communication technology used,- 2G/3G are |
| alerts the driver to let him know of the | | | | adequate technologies to be used as an |
| speed violation, & allow him a certain period | | | | infrastructure for the WRTMS-, and the |
| of time - 10 seconds- to slow down. | | | | positioning system like assisted GPS, |
| | | | software development, the vehicle module - |
| If the driver ignores the alerts, a speeding | | | | mecha-tronics & communication research task |
| ticket will be issued & the system will | | | | force-, & above all the policies & procedures |
| inform the driver of the ticket details by a | | | | in that particular countries. |
| message send to the systems vehicle kit. | | | | |
| | | | Deploying such a solution in a certain |
| Also lets imagine if the system can forbid | | | | country requires major changes on the driving |
| the driver from exceeding the speed limit in | | | | culture & policies in that country. |
| a particular area even if the driver steps on | | | | |
| the speed pedal. | | | | For example drivers will not be any more the |
| | | | main controller of the vehicle speed, how to |
| It is great.... | | | | deal with the new speeding ticket issuing |
| | | | procedure as huge amount of tickets will be |
| According to the WHO - World Health | | | | issued especially in the early stage of the |
| Organization- | | | | system deployment. |
| | | | |
| 30 million human lives, and 506 Billion US$ | | | | In the end WRTMS is the system that the world |
| lost every year in car accidents. | | | | needs to stop bleeding, but having WRTMS up & |
| | | | running requires; great efforts, huge |
| A system like WRTMS would save huge amount of | | | | investments , and culture change. |
