Due to an increase in traffic demand, we have many traffic accidents and constant traffic jams in the cities of Japan. Thus, we reconsidered the present traffic control systems which are used in each prefecture and developed the next generation traffic control system making use of the latest intelligence networks. We named it MODERATO. It has the following functions: information collection; and traffic control. These functions are part of the ITCS (Integrated Traffic Control Systems). ITCIS is the nucleus of UTMS21.
