Road administration traffic management system software

In the framework of the joint Estonian-Latvian project SMART E67, TRAFFEST installed 8 information displays, 18 speed limit signs and 12 combined warning and speed limit signs on the Tallinn-Pärnu-Ikla highway with the aim of making traffic safer and smoother on the international, high density route, as well as achieving savings in driving time. The next step in the joint project for the Road Administration was the procurement of software for the traffic management centre, which would allow for the operational management of variable message signs according to weather conditions.
In 2018, the Road Administration announced a public procurement for the acquisition of traffic management software, which was won by TRAFFEST in cooperation with the Italian company Swarco Mizar. The contents of the work was the development of a management software for variable message signs (VMS), informing about the road and weather conditions, installed in the framework of the Smart E67 project, including the integration of signs, road weather stations, traffic sensors and road cameras with the system, as well as the implementation of traffic management principles. The work also included system maintenance and support for a period of 5 years.
The Road Administration traffic management system was operational by mid 2019 and, for the first time in Estonia, it became possible to automatically change speed limits depending on weather conditions.
The traffic management software is designed such that in the future it is possible to interface other sections of Estonian highways with it that are equipped with variable message signs.”
