Traffic management scripts (available on paper or pdf format) are prescriptions of measurements to be taken when a specific traffic event occurs (e.g. accidents, traffic jam, road works, road closure, etc). These scripts ensure traffic flow and safety on highways and secondary roads.
The current way of working with traffic management scripts (creating, updating, validation, and applying) is inefficient and inaccurate. Scope of the Digitalization of traffic management scripts (Digitaliseren Regel Scenario’s in Dutch, hence DRS) project is to develop an application for digitizing traffic management scripts which enables different traffic management authorities to collaborate in an effective and efficient manner. The application also ensures that all traffic management authorities have the same, correct and actual information.
The DRS application enables a change to a digitized administration of traffic management scripts which will results in a more efficient and effective way of creating, updating, validating and applying traffic management scripts. Furthermore DRS facilitates an effective collaboration between different traffic management authorities (Rijkswaterstaat, provinces and communes).
Besides better cooperation we will reduce the number of scripts (and with that the management burden) and reduce the chance on errors during deployment (increasing reliability).
In the annex of this document, the Final Project Document (Dutch) is included, which can serve as the acceptance note for the operational system. This is because the document states that the project team (DRS) has delivered the project result in accordance with the Project Initiation Document (PID) and additional agreements. Furthermore, the steering group (regiegroep DRS) grants decharge (formal discharge or approval), officially closing the project while considering any remaining points. Additionally, the Talking Traffic program submits the decharge to the IV-stuurlijn.
The annex also contains the presentation of deployed functionality (English).
