Outline
Context and background
The UTMC initiative
Why use UTMC?
UTMC and the next few years
Supported by An Executive Agency of
The UK’s transport needs
Sustained increase in cars commuting business journeys shopping and schools leisure and tourism
Steps towards modal shift more and better buses more LRTs/metros more cycling/walking improved interchanges
Improved urban planning ‘live and work’ communities shopping redevelopment of
brownfield sites heritage protection
Changes in work patterns teleworking company travel plans flexible hours
Supported by An Executive Agency of
Systems and tools
Signs and signals fixed signage traffic lights VMS
Enforcement cameras road user charging
Other mandatory systems variable speed limits tidal flow systems
Traveller information trip planning/re-planning car parking information congestion, fog,
closures etc
In-vehicle systems lane-keeping direct speed control traffic advice

National policy
“Seven ITS policy themes” Improving road network management Improving road safety Better travel and traveller information Better public transport on the roads Support the efficiency of the road freight industry Reducing negative environmental impacts Supporting security, crime reduction and emergency

The Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) programme
Early 90s Basic review of research in traffic control systems etc
1994 - 1996 Forward looking research, draft Technical Specification
1997 - 2000 Research projects
2001 - 2003 Demonstrations and followers
2004 - In the marketplace
More demanding transport policy objectives needed more effective and efficient ways of managing traffic and the network

What is UTMC?
Universal Traffic Management and Control
A set of open standards and protocols
A modular approach to building an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) architecture
The “glue” that allows authorities to integrate their ITS

The concept
Supported by An Executive Agency of
The UTMC approach
Make use of mainstream technology eg IP in communications
No standardisation where not appropriate eg IP prescribed but can use any bearer (subject to
availability, performance and cost effectiveness)
Consensus not imposed, allowing reasonable evolution
Open and readily available website holds or references relevant specifications
Supported by An Executive Agency of
The UTMC platform
Aims primarily to enable innovative market solutions focus on standardising interfaces communications largely based on IP over any bearer,
information standards specified to facilitate data exchange
De facto solution has evolved a centralised architecture “Common Database” application hosts controlled
devices increasing though still scarce use of broadband/mobile
communications publication (eg to journey planners) somewhat ad hoc
Cost remains a large determinant in uptake!

Why use UTMC?
Facilitates Modular design Better inter-operability between systems Integrated solutions with greater capability than
individual systems A more open and competitive market, with less
supplier lock-in Future proofing – the opportunity for step-by-step
expansion and upgrades The use of cost-effective “mixed” communications
technologies and networks
Supported by An Executive Agency of
UTMC implementations
Supported by An Executive Agency of
UTMC and the next few years
Help to deliver “more for less” through new functions and increased integration
Adaptation for applicability to the Inter-urban environment
Alignment with EU standards, where practical
Supported by An Executive Agency of
Developments I – within UTMC
Ramp metering
ANPR (expansion)
Tunnel and bridge systems
Environmental information
Likely to be included in the Specification from 2014
Supported by An Executive Agency of
Developments II – boundaries
Public transport (with RTIG)
DATEX alignment
Streetworks
