Traffic Supervisor (TS) is the operator interface for the PTV Optima engine.
TS is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS).
The user that usually works with TS is the Traffic Operator.
TS allows you to have direct governance of PTV Optima and mainly:
- To monitor the real-time traffic state of the network
- To apply corrective actions based on forecast activities
- To manage Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- To build predictive scenarios
- To manage administrative tasks
- To manage and analyze traffic count data.
For installation prerequisites, please see → System requirements.
Control Room Dashboard
The Control Room Dashboard is the main management area of TS:
From the Control Room Dashboard, you can access several elements (→ Control Room dashboard).
With TS, a Traffic Operator can manage mainly maps and layers.
Traffic Map
A map is a container of layers.
A layer can represent:
- A static dataset, such as the links and the nodes of the network
- A set of dynamic data, such as the current traffic state, a forecast traffic state, or the status of field sensors
Layers
You can add layer instances from the Layers Library list.
A red counter is incremented when you add a new instance.
Important: According to your installation of TS, some layers may not be available in the Layers Library list.
For more details (→ Traffic Map and Layers).
Login
After the Login (→ Login), you can choose the language of the User Interface (UI).
