PROJECT PROFILE

EXPRESSWAY MONITORING AND ADVISORY SYSTEM

FOR SINGAPORE
CUSTOMER
Land Transport Authority of Singapore

GENERAL
The Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System
(EMAS) is a state of the art electronic traffic
management solution to help in the management
of traffic incidents along the expressways. As a
result, motorists can now look forward to
improvement of road safety, traffic fluidity and
further reduction of traffic accidents.
The EMAS operates based on the principles of
Detection, Verification and Control. The Central
Control System (CCS) of the EMAS is responsible
to link up the Detection, Surveillance, Traffic
Information and Control System, the emergency
telephone
sub-systems
to
perform
the
functionality of:

Traffic data acquisition, computation and

displaying real-time traffic trends.

Incident detection algorithms using complex

to generate traffic alerts.

Perform travel time calculation.

Perform traffic data gathering for analysis.

Generate response plans for Traffic Police,

Television Corporation of Singapore, Radio
Corporation of Singapore and Glide Control
Centre etc.

Monitor operational status of all on-site and

Tunnel Control and management equipment.

Hosting of traffic information on the Internet

for the general public.

The CCS system operates on a

UNIX operating platform, the
servers are configured for
redundancy to increase the
System
Availability.
The
configuration of redundancy
allow for the fail-over of
processes from the Main CCS
Server to the Backup CCS
Server.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The heart of the Expressway and
Monitoring System is the Central
Computer System located in the
Operation Control Centre in River
Valley. It is configured as a
Client-Server Architecture. The
CCS functions both as a server to
its operator workstations and as a
client to the Front End Logical
Server
of
the
various
sub-Systems.

The Client Server Architecture of

the CCS system also allows
interconnection
of
services
through TCP/IP, all messages
interchange between the various
Front End Logical Servers are
through
these
TCP/IP
connections.

A high speed backbone 100 base

Ethernet network provides the
interconnection infrastructure for
the
CCS
Servers,
CCS
Workstations, Front End Logical
Servers (FELS), Print Servers,
Projection Screen Servers etc.

The various sub-systems are

interfaced to the CCS through its
respective FELS. These are as
follows:
Detection Sub-System

Surveillance Sub-System
Traffic Information and Control
System
Emergency Telephone System
Tunnel Management System
Internet Web Interface
Such interfaces allow the realization
of an Advanced Expressway Traffic
Management System using the
parameters of Detection, Verification,
Control and Management.
