Integrating smart mobility services in operational dynamic traffic management

摘要

The approach presented in this contribution aims to incorporate smart mobility services in an existing framework from The Netherlands for defining a traffic management ‘control strategy’. The framework consists of a step-wise approach for activating so-called strategies when trying to solving a throughput problem with the pre-defined policy objectives. The framework offers four strategies: (1) inform traffic about the traffic situation, (2) enlarge the outflow, (3) reduce the inflow, and (4) reroute traffic or influence traffic demand. Typically but not necessarily, these strategies are applied as escalation phases, the first being the least severe one and the last being the most radical one.
