Technology-independent Functionality Models for Road Traffic Systems

Improving road traffic management, by addressing concerns including safety, pollution, congestion, and travel time is important. Adequately specifying technology-independent functionality models for road traffic surveillance and management systems is the focus of this work, as well as the adequate specification of corresponding supportive information systems. Technology-independent functionality models are not only needed for better understanding the problems and discussing them of full value with both developers and users but also for establishing appropriate traceability that would allow updating the technology accordingly based on desired updates in the (real-life) business processes and regulations. The contribution of our work is thus in the following directions: (i) Methodological support that concerns the technologyindependent functionality modeling for road traffic systems and (related to them) supportive information systems; (ii) Conceptualization of incorporating service-orientation and context-awareness in the functionality of specified systems.
