INTRODUCTION
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of the Emirate of Dubai is undertaking a massive and
high profile expansion project of the Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) infrastructure on Dubai’s
Freeways, Expressways and Arterial Road Network.
The main objective of this project is to build upon the already successful and operational ITS
sub-systems centrally controlled from the Dubai Traffic Management Centre (TMC). Exhibit 1
on Page 14 shows the existing and proposed ITS coverage to date. Works carried out under this
project will contribute towards the improvement of the performance of the road network by
improving mobility, safety, traffic control operations and traveler information for all road users
in Dubai.
The current central management system installed in the TMC is known as FALCON. It is based
on the Siemens CONCERT product line. The FALCON Management System provides an
integrated platform to control and exchange information with various ITS subsystems that
include but not limited to:




Dynamic Message Signs Subsystem (DMS)
Video Traffic Monitoring - CCTV Subsystem
Lane and Speed Control Signs (LSCS)
Radar Vehicle Detection Systems (RVD)
The various subsystems consist of outstation (field) devices installed on the road network and a
controlling management instation installed in the traffic management centre. The field devices
are linked to the TMC via a Gigabit Ethernet Fibre Optic communication backbone network.
The various subsystems then integrated into a single central management system platform known
as FALCON.
The aim of this T111-ITS Expansion project is to provide open architecture based on the
international transportation protocols such as NTCIP or UTMC to allow ease of integration and
management of various ITS devices and services applications. Some of the existing central
systems that will need to communicate and share information with are listed here:
