Information from equipment such as an imaging device (CCTV camera, traffic counter, etc.), weather observation equipment, etc. is acquired, construction regulations, snow removal work status, etc. are input, and these information are input to the basic control system processing unit 21.

  The facility control room system 11B monitors the operation of various devices installed on the road such as road lighting, tunnel ventilation devices, water spray equipment, fire detectors, etc., and the monitoring information is input to the basic control system processing unit 21. Is done.

As a result, the basic control system processing unit 21 performs steady processing (step S11).
In steady processing, the traffic congestion determination unit 31 of the basic control system processing unit 21 performs traffic congestion determination on an expressway under control, determines the traffic jam start position, traffic jam end position, and traffic jam level, and outputs traffic jam data. To do.

In addition, the abnormal situation processing unit 32 detects that an abnormal situation such as an accident or a fire has occurred based on the notification input from the driver, the image of the imaging device, or the operation of the equipment installed on the road such as a fire detector. Then, processing such as alarming according to an abnormal situation, control of the apparatus, etc. is performed, and abnormal situation processing data is output.
Also, the provision information creation unit 33 receives traffic data and abnormal situation processing data, and creates traffic information and abnormal situation information to be provided to the driver via an information board or the like.

  In addition, the supervisory control unit 34 generates supervisory control data for controlling a supervisory control terminal that monitors and controls the equipment arranged near the expressway, and outputs the supervisory control data to the supervisory control terminal. Thereby, the monitoring control terminal monitors and controls the equipment based on the inputted monitoring control data. In addition, the monitoring control unit 34 outputs monitoring control state data corresponding to the monitoring state and the control state of the equipment.
