The Comments (C), Question and Answer (Q & A) are as follows; 1. C, Q & A – Introduction of ITS Study 1.1 C: The Expressway’s ETC system are compatible with the North and South should both operators allows the interoperability. Tags of both the North and South Expressways are readable to both since they operate in the same frequencies. Technically speaking, the system of interoperability can be done within 24 hours. But of course, interoperability would depend on both political will and commercial will of the operators. 1.2 Q: How’s the interoperability of expressways in the North and in the South? A: Interoperability of expressways in the North and in the South is but a matter of operators’ willingness to interoperate or not. Operators will be invited for a meeting regarding interoperability. C: The San Miguel Corporation - Infrastructure are willing to interconnect with the North. In the South, expressways are already interoperable in their system (meaning only those expressways under the San Miguel Corporation). San Miguel Corporation has expressways both in the North and the South, so in a way, North and South expressways are interoperable. 1.3 C: The Land Transportation Office (LTO) being the enforcement agency, must be A1-3 included/involved in all the meetings/seminars of the Study. A: The LTO was involved in the conduct of the ITS Needs Survey and was invited in the seminar but unable to attend. 1.4 C: Please explain “Central Clearing House”. Who should maintain the central clearing house, private or government? A: If operators agree then the government should guide the interoperability of the expressways. 2. C, Q & A - The Concept of ITS: Improving LOS of Transport System 2.1 C: The Telephone Companies (TELCOs) should likewise be included in the study. While we could use taxis for collecting traffic information as probe, TELCOs could be used for traffic data collection because their cell sites are strategically located where it could cover the entire Metro Manila. A: The Study Team is looking at the inclusion of nomenclature and architecture of the ITS infrastructure. It was likewise included in the Needs Assessment Survey which was presented by Mr. Ueno to be among the interview questions. 3. C, Q & A – Effectiveness of ITS Experiences in Japan 3.1 C: The inter-linkage with the radio stations in terms of traffic information dissemination. Filipinos generally open their radios/TV upon waking up or radios while driving just to monitor traffic situation in the Metro Manila. So, the Study must consider including the inter-linkage with the Radio and TV Stations. 3.2 Q: Who installed the weigh-in motion facility (toll operators or government)? A: It is both the Government and the private companies who are in-charge of installing weigh-in motion facilities. The Private/Toll Operators installed weigh-in motion facility in the Expressways/Toll Roads, while the government installed weigh-in motion facility along National Roads. The installation of weigh-in motion facility is good because it does not include human intervention. Usually in the Philippines, despite the Anti-overloading campaign, overloaded trucks are accompanied with some escorts that made it very difficult for enforcers to apprehend. Thus, weigh-in motion facility installation will do well in the Philippines. A1-4 4. C, Q & A – Traffic Control and Information Provision in Tokyo Metropolitan Expressways 4.1 Q: What are the criteria for the selection of Pilot Projects? Does the Study include installation of ITS hardware? A: The Pilot Project maybe the adoption of ETC system. However, the Study does not include installation of any ITS hardware. Study only. 5. C, Q & A – Direction of ITS Application in DPWH No Questions Asked. 6. C, Q & A – Traffic Control and Information Provision System of MMDA 6.1 Q: How does MMDA collect traffic information? A: The collection of traffic information is manual and subjective, information are based on sent traffic reports by IP cameras, radio reports and user generated reports (volunteered traffic field reporters). 6.2 Q: How is the interpretation of traffic report? A: The interpretation is very subjective. However, MMDA is geared towards providing estimated travel time and re-routing that would give road users informed decisions. 6.3 C: The road traffic reporters are encouraged of using celphone while driving. It would then be in conflict with MMDA’s thrust of “No texting, while driving.” A: It is wise to assume that road traffic reporters are passengers and not drivers, thus it does not encourage using celphones while driving just so they could report traffic updates. There are “No Contact” technologies where a lone driver could easily keep track of the traffic information just by going to the MMDA’s website, clicked on the Metro Manila Traffic Navigator then put down the smart phone and be able to get traffic updates without holding again the smart phone. Don’t use your celphones while driving. 6.4 Q: Is it possible to see the intersection report in the Metro Manila Traffic Navigator? A: There is an intersection section in the Traffic Navigator
