Control centres for traffic monitoring are the heart of each operation unit of a road network. All the electronically provided input comes together at one location and the persons on duty have to be provided by the most important information concerning traffic on the road network to be monitored. Although much information and data is handled and stored in the SCADA system, it is task of the system to bring abnormal traffic and operation situations to the awareness of the operators. This concerns all information which is required to run the network smoothly and to provide a safe journey for the users of the network. The technical development in data transfer and communication technology allowed for an integration of huge parts of road networks including many critical infrastructure parts, like road tunnels. Hence the demands on such control centres have changed during the last decades dramatically. Nowadays the operation of a road network relies strongly on automatic support provided by the systems.
