Abstract

This paper describes the development of two traffic control and surveillance systems to supervise some of the rapidly developing privatised toll expressways in Malaysia. The most important expressway is the North-South Highway, linking Singapore with the Thai border. The other most important expressways are the North-South Central Link, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Expressway (Central Link), and the Shah Alam Expressways. The contracts for the Traffic Control and Surveillance System for the ELITE expressways and the Traffic Management System for the Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing project were awarded to TIME Automation and Management Services (TAMS) in September 1997 for completion in 1998. More recently, TAMS was appointed the design authority for the much larger project of implementing the traffic control system for the PLUS highway network along its busiest sections near Kuala Lumpur, using standards developed on the ELITE and LINKEDUA networks. The main features of each of these network systems are: (1) variable message signs (VMS); (2) closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance; (3) automatic incident detection; (4) traffic data collection; and (5) control centre presentation. Both systems collect incident detection and traffic data using video image processing.
