Center for Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS
Center)
The center for Advanced Transportation
Management Systems (ATMS Center) is founded for implementing a three-year
outsourcing project for operating the CCTC (Central Traffic Control Center)
of TANFB (Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau) and facilitating the research
and teaching in the field of ATMS. Undoubtedly, ATMS is the one of the most
rapidly developing transportation service system, which not only serves as
an efficient way to manage the growing traffic, but also becomes the mainstream
of transportation technology development. Especially, the traffic facilities
nearly installed in the central area of national freeway network might be
the most modern systems in Taiwan, which can constantly collect instant traffic
information through CCTV and vehicle detectors and instantaneously respond
to any unexpected traffic incident by employing some advanced traffic control
mechanics, such as ramp metering, lane speed control and incident detection.
Hence, in the beginning stage of foundation, the mission of the Lab is to
integrate the efforts in different departments within FCU toward fostering
both theoretical and practical researches in the field of advanced traffic
management by closing cooperating with TANFB.
