Highway operation required integrated control of 11 critical subsystems (ventilation, traffic lights, toll gates, cameras, HVAC, treatment stations, substations, emergency phones, variable message signs, access control, and PA systems)
Fragmented control systems preventing unified operational view
Manual coordination between different subsystems causing response delays
Lack of centralized monitoring for safety-critical systems across the highway
Inability to respond quickly to incidents or emergencies
Business impact: Increased incident response times, higher operational costs due to multiple control rooms, safety risks from uncoordinated subsystem responses, and reduced highway capacity during emergencies.
