IntroductionProblem Statement

• Difficult to reduce traffic in 4-point road crossings

• Inefficiency in signal switching

• The lanes with more traffic tolerate more waiting time

• The lanes with less traffic often gets the green signal

• Hence, petrol is heavily consumed within waiting cars

• Conflict arises for pedestrians while crossing lanes

Introduction (continued)Aim

• Implement methods to manage traffic in appropriate lanes

Objectives

• Reduce waiting time for lanes with more traffic

• Maintain proper signal switching with balanced timing

• Prevent traffic collisions

• Allocate timings exclusively for pedestrians to cross lanes

Feasibility StudyTools

• ROSE/RSA/WebSphere Modeler

• Eclipse/RAD/Lotus Forms Designer/Portlet Factory

• WebSphere Portal/WAS/WAS CE/WPS

• DB2 Express – ‘C’ or DB2 UDB

• Tivoli CDP/TSM/Tivoli Directory Server

• Center OS (Red Hat Linux 6.5)

Feasibility Study (continued)Users

• UML

• J2EE

• XML

• E-Forms

• AJAX

• Web 2.0

• Web-services

• SOA

Technologies• City Traffic Management Authority

• Traffic Police

• Car Owners

• Pedestrians

Feasibility Study (continued)Risk Identification

• Some drivers and pedestrians don’t hesitate to violate traffic laws

• Traffic signal posts might loose functionality due to power failure

• Traffic signals posts might loose functionality as it encounters heavy rains

• Traffic control data could be either mishandled or stolen

PlanningProject Activity Sequencing

• Design/Assemble traffic signal posts

• Install Database Server

• Install Linux system

• Install Tivoli Directory Server

• Connect traffic signal posts to the servers

• Configure the servers via Linux

• Configure traffic signal posts via Linux

OrganizingFunctional Requirements• Normal signal control based on historical date and time of the day

• Peak time traffic control based on sensors/satellite information to get data on flow of traffic and dynamically change timings

• VIP/Emergency traffic clearance for vehicles such as ambulance/fire brigade

• Co-ordination with neighbouring traffic control points

• Provision of traffic diversion

• Switching to guided manual control

• Alert system for signal violation

• Timer Control

Organizing (continued)Non-Functional Requirements• Secure access of confidential data (user’s details) with SSL

• 24x7 availability

• Better component design to get better performance at peak time

• Flexible service based architecture for future extension

• VIP Route Mapping

• Advance Traffic Alerts

• Monitoring lane disciplines

• Data analysis of different size and category of vehicles

Optional Requirements

Organizing (continued)Project Team

• The project team consists of five members, while one of them is elected to be the Project Manager.

Project Manager

Hardware Manager

Software Manager Risk Manager Quality Manager

Organizing (continued)Task Delivery

Hardware Manager

• Design/Assemble traffic signal posts

• Install Tivoli Directory Server

• Connect traffic signal posts to the servers

Software Manager

• Install Database Server and Linux System

• Configure the servers via Linux

• Configure traffic signal posts via Linux

Quality Manager

• Review Project Scope and Objectives

• Review Project Progress

• Identify and report customer satisfaction

• Maintain a Quality Manual for the project

Risk Manager

• Identify and analyze risks

• Assess and execute alternatives to respond risks

• Monitor outcomes to project quality

• Report all events in a Risk Logbook

What’s NextImplementation• Tools and techniques must be used to control the project flow

• All project events must be documented in status reports

• Project must be frequently reviewed to realize if it maintains schedule and cost

• Project scope and schedule should be changed to maintain the triple constraint

• Daily traffic movements

• Analytical data

• Average time taken to move from one traffic point to other

• Increase/Decrease tend in traffic flows

Information to be gathered

What’s Next (continued)

• The items that must include with the final outcome of the project are,

– Online/Offline help to system users

– Application Archive (.war/.ear) with source code

– Database backup and DDL script

– Complete system source code

Final Deliverable

Conclusion• The use of 5 phase project management by Weiss and Wysocki is certain to contribute towards

project success.

• Since steps to plan, manage and review the project are included in this methodology, the triple constraint shall be managed.

• As quality and risk management are ensured by the project team, the objectives and benefits are likely to be achieved.

• Hence, we can conclude that the 5 phase project management is a structured method to sustain all project activities and resources.
