 Effect of the RCS
         
    Utilization of RCS can be expected to provide the following effects. 
 
   
  ●By unifying the forms of data usage and communications systems, data exchange and usage of the same sources of data will be available between separate locations, and administrators and managers using different systems. 

●For building up compatibility with systems other than those used by highway administrators, as well as achieving common use of data in future, data exchange and common use of information resources will be possible by using RCS as a system foundation. 
 As a result, data extension and compatibility will also be secured. 

●Up until now highway administrators expanding and updating their existing systems naturally have had to use the services of the maker who provided their system because only that maker understood the technical details involved. 
 The use of RCS as an underlying system should enable highway administrators to cut procurement costs by using the services of several makers. In other words, free market principles can come into play. Purchasing equipment will become more convenient. 

●The WTO has established international standards to be used instead of domestic standards for international procurement. 
 The RCS have been created to conform to international standards. 
 This will allow foreign companies equal opportunities in the Japanese market. 
 
 


 
 
   Especially, it is necessary to improve the data converter when data exchange added in current systems.  
   
 
 
   However, it is easy to data exchange according to the RCS as common communication rule in such case.  
    
 
 
   In addition, if these systems was designed in accordance with the RCS, it will be able to exchange data without data converter.
