Description of Industry
The transport industry is a beneficial and important
industry to the development of a given state or country.
The overall convey of resources require the physical transportation. The undertaking of nation activities for the benefits o f the citizen will demand the monitoring and controlling. Almost
every activity entailing physical resources as the inputs will have to take to apply and
get the services of the transport industry. Therefore, the industry defines the locomotion of the human kind
from one point to another for individual purpose or for
the duties of the state. The transport industry
gets defined by the movement by the means of road and railway,
means of air and water. In all
nations worldwide, the major means of transport is road transport. The
road transport includes the developed super highways, overall
tarmac roads, and the all-weather roads (Dell,
Moseley & Rand, 2014).
The road transport mode
requires a less capital outlay in comparison to other transport modes such
as the railway and air. The
most getting to construct, operate as well as maintain the road is relatively low in comparison to others. It means the normal citizen will get to pay less
tax for the establishment of a road than any other
mode of transport. Consider the delivery mode of the road transport
mode. The citizen
gets to have the delivery of door to door service
such that the resources get delivered to the doorsteps of the end user. This will get to have the easy in the conveying of the products which reduce the carnage, loading and the unloading expenses. The road transport
mode is useful for the service
delivery in the remote that is the rural areas. This
mode of transport is suitable for the carrying of the goods and the
people from and to the rural areas
where neither the rail, water
nor air transport modes get not served. The
agricultural products get to the markets through the use of the road as the means of transport. The society gets
to enjoy the road transport because of the flexibility that the transport mode gets
to offer than the other transport modes.
The flexibility of the transport mode gets in the sense that
the routes and the timings with the mode can get adjusted to suit
the requirements of the end user without the causing of inconvenience to the other operators (RC Agarwal Transportation, n.d).
It gets understood that
road transport is the most suitable
when it comes
to the movement within
the short distances. The transport
mode is more economic to the users over the short distances
and it is quicker
for the carry of the goods and
the persons. The issue of delays
felt at the airport or the railways cannot get felt as the delays in the conveying of the goods within the short distances get
avoided. Since, goods get loaded
into the vehicle and get transported
straight to the destination place without the stoppage in any case. The risk
of the damage to the transit is less felt with the application of the road transport
in the most cases where the damage can get felt during the loading, unloading or in the case of accident otherwise it gets
to reduce the risk of damage. Furthermore, the road transport mode
gets to save the parking cost as well as the less space required
for packing unlike the specially designed places for
parking of ships and crafts. Also, the speed of the road transport
is faster as compared to the transport mode of railway
and the water transport mode.
It gets to have
the delivery of the good within the scheduled period of time.
Industrial Control system processes
The road traffic control
system takes to employ the Intelligent
Transport system for the overall provision of
monitoring and controlling the transport flow on the highways. Several application system processes may get employed to facilitate the overall road traffic control system.
The industrial control system process
gets provided by the sub-component application
that forms the
Intelligent Transport system that can get employed as a highway traffic control
system. The Intelligent
Transport system network takes to apply some
vital components for the provision
of the service to the transport industry. The Intelligent Transport
system centre applies the operations control centre that takes to monitor the traffic with the array of the system components with the deployment of the
ground recovery crew to the motorists and the other road
users in the cases of distress. The operations
control centre gets to alert the road users more so the
motorists through the conveyance of the information in the form of electronic message signs. Therefore,
the Intelligent Transport system
takes to provide the traffic control signals, monitoring of the traffic within the highways, the incidence management, and the overall tunnel and highway monitoring through the provision of the real-time information for the traffic
advisory purposes.
The expressway monitoring and advisory system
(EMAS) is an Intelligent Transport system application process that takes to monitor the traffic along the most express
highways, alerting the road users such as the motorists of the traffic incidences and the provision
of the appropriate swift response to the traffic incident. EMAS is a type of intelligent incidence management tool that takes to aid in the management of the traffic along the express highways. The intelligent system takes to detect the accidents within the highway, the vehicle and road applications
that get to break down and other incidents
on the road. On the detection, the system gets to provide the appropriate information to the response to ensure that the response if as fast as possible to restore the normal traffic flow
on the roads. In this case, the EMAS intelligent system takes to work
within real time scenarios where the information of the travelling time from the entry point
to the highway to the selected exit from the highway. From the expression of the system applications, the application processes get to have
the provision of the quick response
control to the incidences that gets to arise within the roads. Furthermore, the EMAS application takes to minimize the congestion that may arise from the incidences through the provision of the information to the public to avoid the areas where
the incidence has
occurred. And the application processes takes to provide the overall safety on the highways. The EMAS applications take to operate with the undertaking of operations at the control centre with the employment of the surveillance cameras that will check
out of the incidents
that happens on the
road. On the detection of the incidence, the vehicle recovery crew
gets activated to the site of incidence that will ensure the less interruption
of the traffic flow. The provision
of the information to the road users takes to apply the road signboards with different colours displays that mean a particular occurrence or what the
end user of the road is expected to learn. The signboards
may include the CTE,
ECP, KJE and AYE. However, the signboards along the highway should get enhanced for
the improvement of the message readability by the road users such as the motorists.
The junction electronic eyes (J-Eyes) is another Intelligent Transport system
process application that is essential for the provision of monitoring capabilities within the roads. The junction electronic eyes (J-Eyes) application defines the surveillance cameras that get installed within the junctions of the road to monitor the traffic conditions on the road. The number
of the surveillance
cameras will get to depend on the distance to get covered for
monitoring within the road
though the spacing
should be logical to provide the close monitoring. Once more the
junction electronic eyes (J-Eyes) application takes to operate on a real-time basis to provide the appropriate aid to the operations executive at the overall traffic control centre for
the monitoring and verification of the traffic conditions. The system takes
to provide the information for the enhancing the travelling experience of
the road users. The junction electronic eyes (J-Eyes) take to operate by mounting the surveillance cameras on the specially provided poles, the street lampposts and traffic light
poles at the strategic positions of the road junctions.
The surveillance cameras can pan, tilt, zoom
and capture the real- time
video images for the capture of the traffic condition information.
The other Intelligent Transport system application component is the Green link Determining (GLIDE) System. The Green link Determining (GLIDE) System takes to provide the controlling mechanisms to all traffic signals. The
traffic flow gets to change the response to the adjusting of the green light time
accordingly in particular. The Green link Determining (GLIDE) System further gets to link the adjacent traffic signals for
the benefit of getting vehicles to move from one junction to another junction with the minimal stops over the move. The benefits
of the Green link
Determining (GLIDE) System gets
felt with the easy allocation of the green light time
for the road users based on the demand. It gets
o provide the green wave at the linked adjacent junctions to have the minimization of the number of stops by the vehicles moving from one junction to the other junction. And
the Green link
Determining (GLIDE) System once
more gets to allow the traffic
signal faults get rectified faster
than before. The Green link Determining (GLIDE) System works by detecting the presence of the vehicles and the pedestrians
at the junctions of the highway and gets to allocate
the green time basing on the traffic volume in comparison of the volumes in all directions. The detection
gets achieved by laying down a wire sensor at the junction to sense the vehicles as the stepping on the wire gets to cause
the change in the magnetic field that activates the local control
which later adjusts the green time to the direction with a high volume of traffic. The pedestrians get
to press the button within the traffic signal pole
for which the green man light
will get to appear at a fixed time.
The traffic scan application, on the other hand, is an advanced intelligent transport system that is capable of updating the travel information on the roads for the
benefit of the road users. The traffic scan system works by getting the road users such as taxis equipped with a special application of the Global Positioning System (GPS). The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides
the information of the locations to the users and the speed they
get required to travel at along the roads. This information
gets collected for the provision
of the average traffic speed along the road. The
system enables the road users to have the information
to plan on the appropriate route to apply.
The industrial control system devices applied
within the Traffic control
system
The traffic control
light.
The traffic
control light takes to provide the control to the road users on the taxiways conjoining the
active primary runway. The device has three lights, Green, Red and Yellow. The green light
indicates to the operator that it
is free to proceed straight through or either take a proceeding
through left or right turn unless the same sign
gets to inhibit the either of the turns. The red colour of the TCL indicates to the operator to stop and remain
intact until they get given the
proceeding power. The yellow light
applied for the communication of getting to alert the road users of the preparation to the termination o the red and almost having the green light. The
TLC gets characterized with long range visibility
to the road users to easily see the color light.
Require low maintenance and energy
sufficient with the standard consumption of 100 W.

Security concerns
The control
and monitoring system gets to rely on the defined network within the central control centre. It,
therefore, gets to have the network
related security threats. Also, the controlling and monitoring devices get installed outdoor
and the physical security should get to be among the concerns to the equipment. The highway
traffic control system gets to incorporate
different system application processes that need to get addressed
for the definition of the related threats. Attacks
on the industrial control system equipment
are the primary security threat that gets to have the organizations applying the industrial control systems. The intruders
get to have the compromise of the service delivered by the system and hamper
the controlling process as well as the monitoring process that defines the denial of service. The attackers get
to claim at times to have the legitimate
operation of the system instead to cause the confusion
to the system that
will fail the whole process. Cyber security is another security concern that
the management team should get involved
to curb on the network that provides the mechanisms of the industrial control systems to operate. The equipment
involved in the
implementation of the highway
traffic control system gets exposed
to the risk of getting stolen or
damaged as they get installed along the highway. It gets to have
the proper definition of policies and procedures to have the governing
of the same as poor policy and
procedure governing is another concern to the industrial control systems (Senstar., 2014).
Industrial control system security
best practices
The practices
done to the industrial control system of the intelligent transport system application for the highway
traffic control system should get to have the mechanism
of protecting the network that the system runs and
the overall hardware involved in the provision of the traffic control within the roads. The surveillance cameras,
signboards and the green time equipment
are that the risk of getting stolen.
Once the application hardware gets stolen,
then the service delivery of alerting the road users and controlling
the traffic gets cut off. This
will render the road into the highest confusion and risk of causing
accidents. The delays will get observed
from the abrupt jam that will get people close to meet
time of undertaking the prospected tasks. The mitigation to the protection of the physical hardware of the highway traffic control
system includes the implementation of the
physical security of the equipment and the installation
within the gadgets
that provides security
against human and the environment effect. Also, the policies and procedures to govern the overall control system should get defined accordingly
(NIST, 2011).
Vulnerability Continuous monitoring
strategy
The vulnerabilities of the highway traffic control system
should get identified through
the investigation of the susceptibility of the system resources and have
an advanced vulnerability management
mechanisms. The mechanisms should get the management team through the making sure that
all applications are up to date and are functioning
accordingly. Furthermore, the identification of the threats after which the determination of the techniques to curb and reduce
the impact of them to the system get enacted within the whole system
