Weather-related calibration of traffic models for optimized traffic control

摘要

The objective of the project WOLKE (Weather-sensitive calibration of traffic models foroptimised traffic control) is to investigate weather impact on models of motorized individualtraffic. An innovative modelling approach comprising macroscopic and microscopic trafficlevels aims at harmonising modelling of weather impact while utilising different key valueson each level. The scope of investigations targets motorway and urban road networks andfocuses on the southern part of the Bavarian motorway network in Germany as well as theroad network of the Austrian capital Vienna. By using detailed weather and traffic data fromthese two test areas, the project is developing macroscopic and microscopic traffic modelswith improved accuracy for adverse weather conditions.
