Japan's 4962 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has received an order to supply Sri Lanka's Road Development Authority (RDA) with the country’s first highway traffic management system (HTMS).
The system, slated to go on-stream by the end of 2014, will also be MHI's first installation of its full-scale traffic management system for expressways. As part of a package agreement, MHI will handle all aspects of the project from engineering, procurement and installation to adjustment and training.
The HTMS will be installed on Southern Expressway, Sri Lanka's first ever expressway, between Colombo and Galle. Construction work will be performed under a grant-in-aid provided by the Japanese Government.
The system includes 24 variable message signboards, vehicle detection cameras, weather sensors and other roadside equipment, as well as the central computer systems for data processing, and operational status monitoring.
