Abstract

Modern communication technologies such as Smartphone’s and PND (Personal Navigation Devices) platforms provide new services for users IT’S as well. A base of above solutions is GPRS network described in this article. This paper shortly presents types of current real time traffic services also an example of the remotely controlled step motor by GPRS network and analyzed Microsoft Azure Notification Hub facilitating dynamic communication with end user RTTI system.

  1. 1.

    CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, is an association that brings together the National Standardization Bodies of 33 European countries.

  2. 2.

    Another ITS application areas: WG1 - Electronic Fee Collection, WG2 Freight, WG3 Public Transport, WG7 ITS Spatial Data, WG8 Road Traffic Data, WG10 Human-Machine Interfacing, WG12 Vehicle Identification, WG13 ITS Architecture, WG15 eCall, WG16 Cooperative ITS.

  3. 3.

    In ver. 2.3 travel times were calculated for selected major roads (e.g. Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger) [17].

  4. 4.

    OLR proposed as an open standard in an Open Source framework. The OpenLR specification is defined in the Open LR whitepaper version 1.5 [13].

  5. 5.

    INRIX was founded by former Microsoft employees (Bryan Mistele and Craig Chapman) in July 2004.

  6. 6.

    Based on cloud computing technology.

  7. 7.

    GPRS networks also use dynamically assigned temporary identifier TMI (Temporary Flow Identity).

  8. 8.

    With the exception of broadcast type - i.e. to all users logged into the network at a given moment. (e.g. with LAI data).

  9. 9.

    HLR - Home Location Register, VLR - Visitor Location Register.

  10. 10.

    PCMCIA - Personal Computer Memory Card International Association.

    Figure 3 the gray parts of the model.

  12. 12.

    TFI (Temporary Flow Identity) means a temporary identifier of assignment of packets of a given user to a given time slot. PCU compares the TFI stored in the packet with the system identifier of the time slot and, if they are compatible, starts transmission with a given TFI.

  13. 13.

    IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) is a personal 15-digit identification number of the subscriber, which creates a data structure containing the country code, network code, user id in a given network [3].

  14. 14.

    RAI SGSN (Routing Area Identifier SGSN) is an id of a mobile user's location in a network area with a given RA. Any change to the RA, tracked by SGSN, results in immediate calculation of the RAI stored in the SGSN controller's memory.

  15. 15.

    Protocol TPEG validated by TISA (Traveler Information Services Association) having issued 31 Service IDs. For example some of them: INRIX (038.051.034; 077.076.069; 080.084.068), Nokia (052.224.003; 065.015.247; 065.100.001), Media Mobile (054.163.061) whether Intelematics (027.015.157).

  16. 16.

    It should be added that the cloud covers not only network connections but also IT hardware and/or software (IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service, SaaS - Software as a Service).

  17. 17.

    The system described here has been developed for the teaching lab, as part of the course in Wireless data transmission systems taught by the author in the faculty of computer studies [10, 21].
