The Interface between Traffic Control Software and Control Module Software in the AATSC
  • Publication no: AP-T223-12
  • ISBN: 978-1-921991-65-3
  • Published: 20 December 2012

This report clarified the logical architecture required to facilitate the implementation of ‘plug-in’ traffic control software, as an alternative to the control algorithm in the current controller software. The key functional requirements of an interface between the Traffic Control Software and the Control Module Software were also compiled in this report.

Austroads has undertaken a series of research projects since February 2008 for the development of a new generation of traffic signal controllers aimed to continue the work required to encourage the industry developing a prototype for the AATSC, and undertake further work in the specification of functional requirements in the AATSC architecture.

New Austroads vehicle classification scheme to reflect the evolving mix of vehicles on Australian and New Zealand roads

Austroads has developed an extended vehicle classification scheme to improve understanding and monitoring of the changing vehicles on Australian and New Zealand roads. Founded on the 1994 Austroads vehicle classification scheme – Austroads-94, the new, updated classification system known as Austroads-23 presents guidance on how to record active travellers, allows for more granularity of vehicle types, and explains potential additional pathways to classification using new technologies as they become feasible and available.
