The Ministry of Transport has just sent a dispatch to the Prime Minister reporting on the roadmap for building a traffic management and operation center on expressways managed by the ministry until 2025.
Accordingly, for approved route traffic management centers at expressway projects before Decree No. 25/2023/ND-CP dated May 19, 2023 of the Government amending and supplementing Decree No. 32/2014/ND-CP dated April 22, 2014 on management, exploitation and maintenance of expressway works comes into effect, the Ministry of Transport will immediately implement investment procedures, organize bidding, build intelligent traffic systems and route traffic management centers.
Specifically, 6 sections of the North-South Eastern Expressway in the 2017-2020 period that have been put into operation will deploy 4 traffic management centers from 2024, including: Cao Bo - Mai Son, Mai Son - National Highway 45 (expected to be located within the Mai Son - National Highway 45 section); National Highway 45 - Nghi Son, Nghi Son - Dien Chau (expected to be located within the Nghi Son - Dien Chau section); Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet (expected to be located within the project); Phan Thiet - Dau Giay (expected to be located within the project).
For 18 expressways under investment, the Ministry of Transport proposed that the Prime Minister approve the roadmap for building a traffic management and operation center starting from 2024.
Of these, there are 12 sections of the North-South expressway in the East phase 2021-2025, including: Bai Vot - Ham Nghi, Ham Nghi - Vung Ang (expected to be located within the Ham Nghi - Vung Ang section); Vung Ang - Bung, Bung - Van Ninh (expected to be located within the Bung - Van Ninh section); Van Ninh - Cam Lo (expected to be located within the project); Quang Ngai - Hoai Nhon (expected to be located within the project); Hoai Nhon - Quy Nhon (expected to be located within the project); Quy Nhon - Chi Thanh, Chi Thanh - Van Phong (expected to be located within the Quy Nhon - Chi Thanh section); Van Phong - Nha Trang (expected to be located within the project); Can Tho - Hau Giang, Hau Giang - Ca Mau (expected to be located within the Hau Giang - Ca Mau route).
Six other expressway sections also have a roadmap to build a traffic management center starting from 2024, including: Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot (expected to be located within the project); Bien Hoa - Vung Tau (expected to be located within the project); My Thuan - Can Tho, including My Thuan 2 bridge and Can Tho 2 bridge (expected to be located within the project); Cam Lo - La Son, La Son - Tuy Loan (expected to be located in a common center); Dau Giay - Tan Phu (expected to be located within the project).
For expressway sections that are being prepared for investment, the Ministry of Transport recommends that the Prime Minister assign the Ministry of Transport to organize the investment in building a traffic management center in accordance with the project investment and construction progress, ensuring synchronous operation when the expressway is put into operation.
It is known that the intelligent transportation system (ITS) and the route traffic management center are part of the highway project, aiming to optimize the management and exploitation efficiency of road infrastructure, ensuring smooth, safe, efficient, timely, convenient and environmentally friendly traffic.
In Decision No. 923/QD-TTg dated June 30, 2020 of the Prime Minister on approving the project "Application of information technology in transport management and operation, focusing on the road sector", the goal is that by 2025, 100% of expressways will have ITS systems installed; forming integrated centers for traffic management and operation of smart cities in centrally-run cities and localities in need.
Currently, the ITS system has been invested in 11/35 expressway sections with 12 traffic management centers, supporting the management and operation of 645 km/2,021 km of expressway in operation.
For the Project to build some expressway sections on the North-South Eastern route in the 2017-2020 period, the Ministry of Transport plans to invest in 7 route traffic management centers for 9 component projects (for 3 PPP component projects, invest in separate route traffic management centers; for 6 public investment component projects, arrange 4 route traffic management centers).
Of which, 3 component projects invested under the PPP method have been deployed to invest in the Intelligent Transport System under the PPP Contract, ensuring synchronization in the management and operation process; the public investment component projects are completing investment procedures to build the ITS system and the route traffic management and operation center.
