Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TramOpt (A Traffic Management Optimization platform for enhanced road network efficiency)
Período documentado: 2017-05-01 hasta 2018-10-31
TramOpt project has studied the effectiveness of a software platform based on up-to-date traffic flow models and control strategies for real-time traffic flow management on freeways.
TramOpt PoC tackles the following two issues:
* Developing a robust prototype to allow real-life testing and deployment of a novel vehicular traffic control Decision Support System (DSS) based on a software platform for road traffic management including variable speed limits, ramp-metering and re-routing policies. This DSS is intended for public and private traffic managers to increase freeway network performances (e.g. congestion and pollution reduction);
* Assessing the exploitation perspectives through a dedicated market study evaluating the added value of TramOpt over existing solutions and evaluating the best business approach to foster uptake and commercialization of our technology.
The platform consists of a Web interface stored in an internal server and based on OpenStreetMap information, completed with data provided by the DIRMED partner.
It allows for traffic simulation and optimisation through variable speed limit (VSL) and ramp-metering controls.
The marked study conducted by Mobilité Innovation & Conseil (MIConseil) pointed out in particular the interest of the project in the field of environmental policies.
