History
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience

• In 1997 within the European Project Hannibal was
  introduced the use of the DATEX-Net protocol as
  interconnection with different Traffic Control
  Centres.
• For this purpose Sinelec developed the first
  version of RETICA (REte Telematica di
  Interscambio tra Concessionarie Autostradali) to
  exchange traffic and travel data.
• RETICA is based on DATEX-Net protocol and, at
  present, it is used in few Traffic Control
  Centres belonging to ASTM-TLC and SIAS.
• The interconnection is realised at Italian and
  European level.

Venice-Padua motorway DATEX connections
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience
History
A Datex connection between Autostrada VE-PD TCC
(Venice) and SUS (Servizi Utenza
Stradale-Cessalto) TIC is in operation since
2000. Real time information on traffic events
that could take place along the Autostrada VE-PD
motorway network is provided to the users by SUS
TIC via various different media. Datex
connections between Autostrade VE-PD TCC (Venice)
and other motorway operator TCCs are under
development. The first link will be activated by
September 2003. Traffic data will be exchanged
mainly to support the every day motorway
operation.

Venice-Padua motorway DATEX connections
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience

• A VPN (Virtual Private Network) connects the
  various TCCs and Emegency Services Control
  Centers in the Venice area in order to share
  information (traffic data, videosurveillance,
  fleet management, etc.) in efficient and
  coordinated way.
• A specific SW tools support the operators in the
  incident management process.

DATEX message tests
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian

History

• Two levels of tests
• Test each segment its syntax and content.
• Test some scenarios real messages sent in one
  day compared with the one received by the
  partners through the DATEX connection on the same
  day.

Interconnection for data exchange using the
DATEX-Net protocol
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience
History

• To safely exchange traffic and travel data among
  ASTM-TLC and its client it has been proposed to
  use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
• This technology enables different partners to be
  connected to the same private network.

CCISS - Problems and perspectives
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience

• CCISS is the Italian Public Center responsible
  for collecting and distributing traffic
  information on national basis. It is coordinated
  by the Italian Ministry of Transport.
• Police, Road Authorities, Automobile Club, RAI
  (as public broadcasting system) and Motorway
  Companies, operate all together inside this
  Center.
• Some problems have been registered for the
  RDS-TMC functionality and for the data exchange
  at european level, due to the obsolescence of the
  central informatic system.

CCISS - Problems and perspectives
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience

• The Italian Ministry of Transport has recently
  decided to launch the second phase of
  infomobility, consisting in a new generation of
  traffic information services based on criteria of
  interactivity, localisation and personalisation.
• These new services will be coordinated by the
  Ministry in terms of general guidelines, common
  protocols and standards to be adopted.
• The first decision to be taken was the complete
  reorganization of the CCISS information system.
  It will allow the management of both the existing
  and the new services mainly focussed on RDS-TMC
  and data exchange with European TICS.

CCISS - The new information system SINT
Interconnection Data exchange the Italian
experience

• SINT will
• be an open system, capable to be interconnected
  with other realities, mainly with other TICS.
• adopt the DATEX protocol in a native way.
• work with a multimedia Data Base, georeferencied
  and enriched by graphic 3D images of virtual
  reality.
• produce automatic video and audio bullettins in
  many European languages.
• continuously send traffic information to RDS-TMC.
• automatically exchange data with the European
  TICs network.
• elaborate statistics on traffic problems.
• be implemented starting from September 2003 up to
  June 2004.

• Description of the presentation
• In this presentation is described the evolution
  from the past of the Data exchange using Datex.
• It is possible to identify three levels
• inside ASTM-TLC (SIAS) group
• at Italian level
• at European level.
• In the last few years it has started the
  cooperation between European countries to
  exchange travel and traffic information.
• At the present the data exchange is about to be
  operational. The testing phase it is almost
  finished. In the presentation are shown the main
  problems encountered.
• Here are also reported a couple of ASTM/TLC real
  application based on DATEX
• The Web portal
• infonodo Torino (a system that gives traffic
  information along ASTM, SATAP, SITAF and ATIVA
  motorwas)
