Intelligent transportation systems can help reduce traffic congestion on the Eastern Freeway in Mumbai. ITS technologies like high-speed cameras, variable message signs, emergency call boxes, and smart road markings could be applied. High-speed cameras would monitor for speeding near refineries and tunnels. Variable message signs would provide real-time updates on accidents or delays. Emergency call boxes in elevated and tunnel areas would speed emergency response times. Smart road markings that glow in the dark could help drivers at night and reduce electricity usage for lighting. These ITS applications could make the Eastern Freeway safer and more efficient.

19. Benefits of Eastern Freeway
 Unrestricted link.
 Avoiding heavily traffic corridor.
 Faster movements & lower
operating costs of vehicle.
 Facilitate cargo growth and
expanding container facility.
 Reduction of accidents
 Saving in fuel
 Less pollution

20. Recent activities on Eastern Freeway

21. Recent activities on Eastern Freeway
 Two youngsters were killed and one was critically injured when a motorcyclist
lost control of his bike on the Eastern Freeway.
 A landslide near Panjarpol square on the Eastern Freeway brought traffic to a
halt for nearly three hours on Thursday morning.
 Ritz car driver hit crash barrier near refinery.
 Drivers who don't think twice before sending their speedometer needles
shooting past the 100-kmph mark.
 Late rescue team response to any accidents on freeway.

22. Application of Intelligent Transportation System
on Eastern Freeway.
These are some of the system which can be applied on
freeway to make it more and more safer.
 High Speed Cameras
 Warning Systems
 Incident management
 Smart Roads (Dynamic Paints)

23. High speed cameras
High speed camera with
infrared imaging

24. Delhi's first high speed camera
 Speed monitoring camera were installed
by Delhi Traffic police on a open stretch
between new tunnel which lead to
south Delhi, Indira Gandhi International
Airport.
 It was seen that more than 600 vehicle
were caught for speeding within 4 hr.
 After installing high speed cameras
there is considerable decrease in rate of
accidents

25. Bangalore Traffic Improvement
Project- B-TRAC 2010".
 Red speed enforcement
camera click photos of
motorists who jump
traffic signals or cross
stop line or exceed speed
limit.
 Violators are sent challans
through Automation
Enforcement Center
within 7 days.

26. Implementation of High Speed Cameras in
Eastern Freeway
 These cameras should be installed on
elevated portion of eastern freeway and
near the refineries and in tunnel and
entries provided in freeway.
 Since it is a freeway and major portion of
road is elevated and if there is any
accident or stealing activity we can keep
watch and we can take necessary actions.

27. Warning system
Variable digital
messages and signs

28. Bangalore Traffic Improvement Project-
B-TRAC 2010".
 B-TRAC 2010 is the first of its kind project in the country
to address the issues of traffic congestion, safety etc.
utilizing the latest traffic management technology
 This variable messages sign has been installed in various
part of Bangalore city.
 Installed to inform the motorists about:- Diversions due to
natural calamities like flooding, water clogging, fallen
trees, electrical poles,Man made diversions like strikes,
road blocks, agitations etc.
 Such information will enable motorists to plan their route
based on current information.

29. Warning system
Effective lighting

30. Implementation of Warning System on
Eastern Freeway
 This system should be
installed on entry, exit,
outside and inside of tunnel
of freeway and somewhere
near middle portion of
freeway.

31. Emergency call known SOS
 The system based on Voice
Over IP (VOIP) technology is
made up of SOS Call Boxes
 Set out along the roadway,
preferably in the emergency
platforms and tunnels and
elevated portion.

32. Incident Management
Typical rescue vehicle used in
Japan.
Response team

33. Bangalore Traffic Improvement
Project- B-TRAC 2010".
Traffic management center
 Control smart signaling system
 Provide real time information to driver
through Variable Messages and sign
 Sending immediate response team to
accident spot.

34. Implementation of Incident
Management in Eastern Freeway
 SOS can be installed on elevated
portion near refineries or curve
and inside the tunnel on eastern
freeway.
 Immediate response team should
be such that, they will be at the
accident site within 10min from
the time they get a call from SOS.

35. Smart Roads
Dynamic Paints Dynamic Lines

36. Dynamic paints and lightning system in
Netherland.
 A smart road design that features glow in the dark tarmac and illuminated weather
indicators are installed in the Netherlands from mid-2013.
 The Smart Highway by Studio Roosegaarde and infrastructure management group
Heijmans won Best Future Concept at the Dutch Design Awards
 photo-luminising powder that will replace road markings -- it charges up in sunlight,
giving it up to ten hours of glow-in-the-dark time come nightfall. "It's like the glow in the
dark paint

37. Implementation of Smart Roads in
Eastern Freeway
 These type of paints can
be used not only on
eastern freeway but also
on any highway in India.
 This will save the
electricity required for
lamps ,will be attractive
and will also keep driver
active.
