Publication details: Bryssel ITS in daily life: 16th world congress and exhibition on intelligent transport systems and services, Stockholm 21-25 September 2009. Paper, 2009Description: 12 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P1835:16 [World]Location: Abstract: The increasing importance of traffic management raises the need for new tools suited for planning and evaluation of dynamic traffic control strategies. Exceptional situations such as incidents or major public events are challenges for traffic management planning which require dedicated preparation. This paper presents a prototype tool for traffic management planning tasks. The tool follows the concept of scenario evaluation and provides an integrated system for scenario management, demand modeling, strategy simulation and analysis. It can operate on large networks and thereby allows an assessment of the effects of incidents and traffic control measures on entire urban areas.| Current library | Status | |
