From Transport Management (TM)to Mobility Management (MM)

Transport Policy Goals Conventional/traditional TM Tools What Effects? Some results New Challenges Other Modes, New Shareholders New Strategies, new Tools Basis for new Strategies “Visions”, Basis for Co-operation


Transport Policies ObjectivesRoad & Traffic SafetyTransport EconomyEnvironmental protectionAdequate use of Road networkBalanced Cost allocation to Road usersAccessibility of Cities & regions......


Traditional Tools of Road Authorities completion and widening of roads and networks regulation of network use dynamic traffic management variable direction signs systems variable message signs temporary use of hard shoulders, ramp metering dynamic lane allocation and traffic information


Enlarging Road network

Traffic loads grows faster than road network


Regulation of Network Use

Example:

Prohibitions for Lorries during Weekends


Dynamic Traffic management on German Motorways

Variable Direction Signs

Stretch Control

Intersection Control

Temporary Use of Emergency Lanes

Ramp Metering


Limited roadside implementations of dynamic regulations

(only) traffic and accident hot spots equipped

limited information contents (HMI)


Stretch Control, Measures

Lane Allocation/Blockage Different Regulations for

individual Lanes Overtaking Regulations Warnings Safeguarding Roadwork &

other Hazards Flexible Speed

Recent horizontal research project on ITS impacts on Traffic safety

(Ref.: Siegener 2000)


Recent horizontal research project on ITS impacts on Traffic safety

Results: Reduction of accidents and especially of mass accidents – those are

accidents with at least six vehicles involved – is the main objective and impact of traffic control systems.

25 % reduction of all accidents in the area of stretch control systems 54 % reduction of mass accidents Reductions are caused by better speed and gap behaviour of drivers and

a higher attentiveness Where accident rates are already low traffic control systems have little

additional safety effects

Ref.: SIEGENER: “Accident experience in the area of traffic control systems under special consideration of traffic loads”, commissioned by BMVBW/BASt, Karlsruhe 2000


Some remaining „Un-Safety“ Reasons

Systems not area-wide installedSub-optimal Traffic & Environmental Monitoring

(Coverage, time delays, undetected problems)Signs activated after occurrence of problemsHuman misbehaviour (insufficient rule compliance, wrong decisions)Technical vehicle problemsTime delayed rescue actions


New Challenges

Increasing Traffic Loads on Roads Increasing Environmental Sensitivity of

Citizens and Politicians Increasing distributed production Transport costs as productivity Factor Global Competition
