Toshiba's Work Related to Expressway Traffic Control System and Future Prospects

摘要

Traffic control systems are required to provide drivers with accurate traffic information so as to ensure driver safety, maintain smooth traffic flow, and preserve the environment. The development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) has been attracting attention in recent years, and they have now entered the practical phase. The Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system has already been deployed at many locations, and the Advanced Cruise-Assist Highway Systems (AHS) is being demonstrated on highways. With its abundant experience in the field of traffic control systems, Toshiba can economically construct Advanced Traffic Management System (AIMS) of high quality by integrating its system engineering capabilities and new technologies developed for ITS.
