Introduction
The Advanced Transportation Management System
(ATMS) is to provide the improvement of existing traffic
control system in the County. The proposed ATMS
attempt to take advantage of information that can be
provided by roadside traffic sensors and cameras (realtime traffic information) to increase transportation
system efficiency, enhance mobility and improve safety, in
the County.

Purpose of ATMS:
Increase transportation system efficiency

Enhance mobility
Improve safety
Reduce fuel consumption and environmental
cost
Reducing the incident
Increase economic productivity, and
Create an environment for ITS market

Functional Areas of ATMS

Real-time traffic monitoring
Dynamic message sign monitoring and control
Incident monitoring
Traffic camera monitoring and control
Active Traffic Management (ATM)
Chain control
Ramp meter monitoring and control
Arterial management
Traffic signal monitoring and control
Automated warning systems
Road Weather Information System (RWIS) monitoring
Highway advisory radio
Urban Traffic Management and Control

Real-time traffic monitoring

Real time traffic
Monitoring is the
process where the
traffic condition
Observed by various
roadside sensor
and electronic device.

Dynamic message sign monitoring and control

Used on roadways to give travelers information about
special events. Such signs warn of traffic congestion,
accidents, incidents, roadwork zones, or speed limits on
a specific highway segment.
DEVICE:
-Dynamic Message Board.
- GPS trace + mobile comms
e.g. GSM.
-Radio Signal Triangulation
-Roadside beacon + dedicated short range tag

Incident monitoring
CCTV Video Surveillance System along with incident
detection system is installed in the roadside to take
appropriate measures and give announcement through
Public Address if needed.
DEVICE:
-Dynamic Message Board.
-CCTV Video Surveillance
System.
-Incident Detection System

Traffic camera monitoring and control

A traffic camera is a video camera which observes

vehicular traffic on a road. These are used in the roadside such a
highways, freeways, motorways, and expressways, as well as arter
roads.
DEVICE:

-CCTV Camera/ Dome Camera.

-Monitoring device
-Power source.
-High Speed Internet.

Active Traffic Management (ATM)

Active traffic management is method of increasing peak
capacity and smoothing traffic flows on busy major highways.
Techniques are:

-Variable speed limits.

- Hard-shoulder running
-Ramp-metering controlled
-By overhead variable
message signs

Ramp meter monitoring and control

A ramp meter is a device, usually a basic traffic light or a
two-section signal (red and green only, no yellow) light
together with a signal controller that regulates the flow of
traffic entering freeways according to current traffic
conditions.
Uses:

-Use of traffic signal at free way on ramp.

- For decreasing traffic congestion.
-For Improving driver safety.

Arterial management
Arterial management systems manage traffic along arterial
roadways, employing traffic detectors, traffic signals, and
various means of communicating information to travelers.

Traffic signal monitoring and control

Traffic signal monitoring and control including
communications systems, adaptive control systems, traffic
responsive, real-time data collection and analysis, and maintenance
management systems. Traffic signal monitoring
and control is operate traffic with greater efficiency.

Automated warning systems

Automatic warning system is the process where
the current traffic condition is informed to the
traveler through dynamic signal and horn.

Application of ATMS in Bangladesh

Advanced Transportation management system
is not developed in Bangladesh. But only some
functions of ATMS have been applied in toll
plaza in our country. With the advanced research
ATMS can be applied in Bangladesh.
Due to the Appling of ATMS in our country will
reduce the traffic congestion, rate of incident,
increasing the rate traffic flow. Application of
ATMS is also improve the environment of our
country by reducing fuel consumption.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES OF ATMS:-Improved safety
-Better traffic flow
-Lower travel cost
-Better environmental quality
-Increased business activity
-Greater user acceptance
-Better travel information
-Better planning information

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES OF ATMS:-Difficult to use in mixed traffic
-Preliminary difficulties in understanding
-ITS equipments costly
-The control system software could be hacked by
hackers

CONCLUSION
The application of ATMS in some developed countries like
America, Japan and England has given them high progress in
the field of transportation. This helped them in their
economic progress. Also the traffic congestions, rate of
road accidents, wastage of fuels are decreased to a large
extend. This gives the people of this country a more
economic mean of transportation with advance
information of transits. Now transportation has become a
safer and efficient mode for these countries. Hence with
much more interest and advanced research in the field of
ATMS it can be implemented in our country and can prove
to be the solution of the traffic problems including traffic
congestion, air pollution and traffic accidents.
