A Common Architecture to Develop Road Traffic Management Systems

A well-defined software architecture is a key success factor for developing systems. When developing series of related systems, applying a common architecture as basis for development may facilitate reusing code and design, which reduces time to market and increases product quality. In this article, a single architecture is proposed to develop related road traffic management systems. Evaluation was performed through the design and implementation of three case studies, and shows that reuse is enhanced leading to shorter development time and improved final product quality.
