JSDI - Integrated traffic information system
Overview
Background & policy context:
These days, drivers mostly come to know up-to-date traffic information only through the radio station they are listening to and they cannot be sure that the information is exact and verified. People behind the wheel often don't even find out that traffic problems at a given stage of communication have already dissipated. High-quality traffic information nevertheless is within the competence of many public service bodies. But this information does not always reach the place where it is needed most - the people behind the wheel.
The Integrated Traffic Information System project will make it possible for this information to reach all drivers, organisations connected with Integrated Rescue Systems and other institutions. The state has arranged coordinated collection, processing, sharing and forwarding of traffic information in a unified data format. Digitally localised geographic data in the system will relate exactly to a specific location and will use international exchange protocols.
Objectives:
The main aim of JSDI is the creation of a complex integrated system environment for collection, processing, sharing and providing traffic information through active participation of the widest subject spectrum possible:
- primarily from public service ranks (Police of the Czech Republic, Czech Firefighter's Brigade, Emergency Rescue Service, Road Administrative Authorities, road managers, municipal police, Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, network administrators etc.)
- furthermore from transport-telematics application operators (meteorological systems, tunnel systems, EFC, traffic detector systems etc.) to ensure information support of the processes,
- and from other sources.
Methodology:
Traffic information (collected according to the monitored traffic situation) from each source is stored in a Central Data Warehouse within the frame of JSDI. Information is processed into the form of authorised, verified, digitally geographically located and in Alert-C protocol coded information in the National Traffic Information Centre. It is available for road users, media, traffic information service operators, Integrated Rescue System, public service subjects, carriers and haulers and other users through data distribution interface. Publications of data from the JSDI data warehouse are guaranteed by Portal of the Public Administration (PPA).
There will be interconnection of information from public administration and from drivers and their mutual verification taking place. The state will guarantee accuracy and quality of traffic reporting.
