EASY DRIVER is a Motorway Traffic Control System developed by Fiat-Auto in collaboration with the Centro Studi sui Sistemi di Trasporto S.p.A. (CSST) and MIZAR Automazione S.p.A. and implemented by the Societa delle Autostrada di Venezia e Padova S.p.A. on the stretch of motorway between Padua and Venice. EASY DRIVER has been in operation since July 1992. The characteristics of EASY DRIVER System is to monitor in real time traffic and weather conditions on the road, to detect incident and to perform suitable strategies to control the flow by means of speed and lane recommendations, in such a way congestions are smoothed and traffic is as homogeneous and possible along the motorway sections. The paper begins with an introduction to the functions of the system and its architecture, then focuses on its operation, dealing with the major functions of Automatic Incident Detection and Control Strategies together with the associated Variable Message Signs management.
