Software as a service enabled
Integrated live traffic web camera images
Secure interface for multi-agency data entry
The Integral Team have engaged well with the Department in all of the aspects of the 131940 redevelopment activity. They have assisted in building good relationships between the internal departmental teams and external providers. The Integral team have driven quality outcomes within the timeframe and budget constraints set by the Department. The Department is extremely proud of the 131940 products and the value they provide to the travelling public.
Then
The legacy website was difficult to maintain and there was no map interface to visually display the current status of the Queensland Road Network.
How?
Integral determined the approach for the redevelopment of the 131940 Traffic and Travel Information website product. Integral worked closely with TMR stakeholders to outline an approach to source a highly available and scalable software as a service solution.This involved:
The solution delivered provides:
- An easy to navigate source of traffic and road event information for the travelling public and industry;
- Multiple channels to deliver the traffic and road event information such as Web 2.0, RSS Feeds, Mobile and Quick Access sites;
- Ability for users to customise their view of traffic and road event information including type and locality;
- Integration of live traffic web camera images from across Queensland;
- Secure interface to allow entry of traffic and road event information by trusted sources including multi-agency; and
- Integration with other departmental systems including TMR
- Incident Management System which minimises double entry of data, and data warehousing for reporting.
By ensuring the integrity and security of data throughout the process, Integral enabled a smooth transition to the new ERP platform.
Now
The website has been redeveloped considerably, which has been in parallel to the ever-increasing demand for reliable and timely TTI. The value of TTI is recognised by both the travelling public and industry, in urban areas where there is traffic congestion and regional areas where there is flooding and other environmental factors affecting the road network.
Queensland road users make informed travel decisions as they access an improved information source for traffic and road events. The information is provided to them quickly and easily via a variety of channels, including mobile site, fully functional and quick access websites, Twitter, email subscriptions for road closures due to wet weather and flooding and TTI events, RSS feeds, and in some instances, secured via GeoRSS feeds. With a new and improved website, TMR and a number of other government agencies can efficiently provide up-todate TTI on the state of the road network across Queensland.
Who?
The 131940 Traffic and Travel Information (TTI) website (www.131940.qld.gov.au) is a Queensland Government initiative. At the time of this project, the website and associated products were managed and administered by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) in conjunction with other government partners such as the Queensland Police Service, Brisbane City Council and other Local Government Authorities.
