Moscow government plans to launch its own online map of road congestion
Moscow authorities plan to launch an online traffic jams map at the end of the summer of 2015. The map will be placed on a single transport portal of the city. Currently, only Yandex.Probki service is available here. The online newspaper Newsru reports that the complaints and appeals section is already working on a single transport website.
It is also known that the map of traffic jams will be created taking into account the data received from 11 thousand road sensors, as well as statistics on the movement of cellular subscribers. Yandex.Probki most likely will continue to work on the single transport portal even after the start of the government service. It is worth noting that the developers plan to add a function to predict traffic jams for an hour ahead, with the broadcast of forecasts through traffic signs. Currently, 144 traffic monitors are already located in the capital.
The deputy head of the transport department, Alina Bisembaeva, believes that the Moscow authorities have a slightly different approach to forecasting and modeling traffic jams than Yandex. “According to our plans, the map should appear by the end of the summer. She is now in development. We have a slightly different approach to forecasting and modeling than Yandex. It is based, among other things, on data from cameras that are installed in large quantities on the roads, ”said Bisembaeva. And there are technical possibilities for the implementation of such plans: a new project will collect data from 2.5 thousand tele-surveillance cameras and about 2 thousand surveillance cameras.
According to the deputy head of the Transport Telematics Department of the Moscow Automobile and Road Institute (MADI) Sultan Zhankaziyev, video detectors installed on the road section above each of the lanes are able to measure various parameters of traffic flow. This is the length, the density of the queue of cars, types of cars, traffic intensity Sultan Zhankaziyev believes that the road congestion service should not only display the current situation, but also simulate the road difficulties of an unpredictable hack. “For example, the passage of communal cars. Most often, for the driver, their "train" on the road turns out to be a surprise. Dispatcher services that are responsible for watering the roads should transmit data on future detours to the online service, ”commented Zhankaziyev.
