Supervision of road infrastructure by applying intelligent transport systems with special review on Bosnia and Herzegovina

Today in world the road infrastructure is actively monitored, primarily for the safety of all traffic participants, but is also actively tracked for traffic organization, timely response to newly emerging situations that can endanger infrastructure users. Supervision and tracking of transport infrastructure is important from several aspects.By constantly tracking traffic infrastructure and turnover, it is easy to spot potential problems and dangers that occur at a particular location.For active supervision of the road infrastructure is necessary to use modern technology. The use of intelligent transport systems in road infrastructure supervision can be used for preventive action and elimination of potential dangers to infrastructure users. By managing from the supervising center, intelligent warning systems located on motorways, give the possibility to drivers to timely warn at certain risks and difficulties in traffic infrastructure such as certain infrastructure damage, driving time conditions, traffic accidents, black spots, warning about certain works on the infrastructure, and various other driver information, essential for traffic safety. Certain devices installed on the roads are intended to send information on the state of the infrastructure to the main control center. The supervisory center, with timely information, has the ability to actively manage traffic and preventive action. The control center has a special function in the case of traffic accidents through the transmission of information to the urgent services. Particular attention is paid to road infrastructure supervision in large cities where there is a high frequency of vehicles as well as on the highway. This paper presents an overview of the use of intelligent transport equipment for road infrastructure supervision and the advantages of surveillance. The paper shows the review of supervision of road infrastructure in Bosnia and Herzegovina with special emphasis on Corridor Vc, using intelligent transport systems.
