The Effectiveness of The Implementation of ITACA

Since Putrajaya was officially proclaimed as the new Federal Administrative Centre of
Malaysia, Perbadanan Putrajaya has been given a great responsibility to structure,
organize and implement a development for this city for the convenience of its resident.
To ensure that Putrajaya will be a modern and organized city, Perbadanan Putrajaya has
introduced a traffic light system that is Intelligent Traffic Adaptive Control Agent
(ITACA) System that will enable the traffic to be fully controlled by computer.
It is noted as the bestway in traffic management system to minimize the congestion level
at urban city as well as the best computerized traffic control in Asia. Implementation of
ITACA allows the traffic at the implemented junction to flow smoothly and road user
doesn't have to rush and cut queues while queuing at junction. When the traffic light
system using a fully computerized control system, all the system will be integrate to be
one central dynamic traffic control system that will be able to control from the
Perbadanan Putrajaya Headquarters building as the control centre.
This report described the detailed step and analysis regarding measure in
determining the junction performance for both with and without ITACA system
operation. The problem statement has been stated, the scope has been identified, and also
the objectives have been listed out in order to be achieved in the final steps of this
project. By conducting traffic survey and traffic analysis, it was determined thatjunctions
with the implementation of ITACA system has a better performance compared to
junctions without the system. This report also gives a better overview of ITACA system,
the architecture of ITACA system, an overview of aaSIDRA software and also its
applications which are applied and used in conducting traffic analysis.
