Ray King – Tyne and Wear UTMC Manager
What is UTMC
• An efficient and effective way to link and integrate Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
• To enable:Efficient network managementPolicy implementationProvision of reliable and accurate information to
the travelling public
Timeline
• 1997 – DfT launch UTMC Project• 2001 – Four Demonstrator Projects
– Preston – Reading– Stratford upon Avon– York
• 2003 – UDG Formed (funded by DfT)• 2011 – Government funding to UDG
withdrawn
Early UTMC Research Themes
• UTMC 01 Selected vehicle priority• UTMC 02 Traffic management across jurisdictional boundaries• UTMC 03 Strategies to minimise vehicle emissions• UTMC 04 Network monitoring, modelling and management• UTMC 07/17 Data input / information output requirements – quality and
content • UTMC 10 Achieving UTMC integration through a common database• UTMC 14 Wireless communications to road users and within UTMC
systems • UTMC 18 Ownership cost model UTMC• UTMC 19a Migration of UTMC systems• UTMC 22 Safety issues• UTMC 23 Security and enforcement issues
Reference: Pattison J (1999) IHT
Widespread National use
Very different implementations nationally
• Single element focus• No automation vs Total automation• Some excellent HA link ups• Some excellent feeds from
partners
Tyne and Wear Background
• As with most UK authorities, historically in Tyne & Wear:– Authorities developed and operated their own ITS applications
to address local issues– Procurement often managed on an individual scheme basis – Limited cross-boundary applications– Interoperability and integration often not considered
• As a result:– The service provided to the travellers across Tyne & Wear was
far from optimal– Best value not being obtained
Disparate Systems
• Sensors• CCTV & ANPR• Controls• Management• Information
Operational Benefits
• Greater efficiency of network management operations• Improved overall effectiveness – reducing congestion• Each stakeholder will have a consolidated view of
network conditions across the region• Provision of a wide range of accurate and timely
information services to the travelling public• Improved liaison• Opportunity to learn from mature market place and apply
best practice

UTMC – Key Policy Objectives
• Key to delivery of LTP objectives:Support economic development and regenerationAddressing climate changeSupporting safe and sustainable communities through
the efficient use of the transport infrastructureThe provision of timely information to the travelling
public
• Supports Traffic Management Act duties
Simple Strategies
Political Issues
• Tyne and Wear
• Gating to reduce inner city pollution
• Publicising air quality issues
• Quick wins vs long term vision
• Lack of joined up planning
Conflicting Objectives
• Efficient Network Management may increase trip demand
• Priorities for public transport will impact on car users
• Pedestrian measures that impact on all other modes
• Technology for technology’s sake
Public Transport Prioritisation
What are the effects on car emissions of policies designed to give public transport greater priority:
– on the subject route? and– neighbouring routes (where local traffic may
divert to as a result of slower arterial routes)?
Claremont Road
VMS and Parking Guidance
To what extent do drivers adjust their route and/or parking choices when presented with live traffic information through VMS and Parking Guidance Signs?
Parking Demand
Parking Demand
Real Time Passenger Information
Does the provision of Real Time Passenger Information on bus routes have any quantifiable affect on patronage?
Any Questions?
