  1. TRAMAN21(TRAfficMANagement for the 21st Century)Motivation and Scope Prof. Markos Papageorgiou Dynamic Systems and Simulation Laboratory Technical University of Crete

  2. 1. Preliminaries • ERC (European Research Council) • http://erc.europa.eu • Started in 2008 • Advanced Investigator Grants: ~300/year; up to 5 years and up to 2.5 MEURO; all disciplines, world-wide • Requirements: prior Excellence (50%); Breakthrough, New Avenues for Research (50%) • TRAMAN21 • Started in March 2013 • Strong background in Traffic Management • Scope: Motorway traffic of the future

  3. 2. Motivation 12 January 2011, 8:14 am 16 December 2010, 17:55 pm • Motorway traffic: strongly degraded daily

  4. Motorway traffic control • Ramp metering • Variable Speed Limits (VSL) • Driver Information and Route Guidance

  5. 3. Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems (VACS) • In-vehicle systems (automated vehicles) • Collision warning; automated queue, congestion, and road works assistance; active green driving; obstacle avoidance; lane keeping; ACC; active lane-changing or merging system; fully automated vehicles (Google car); driver supervision; … • Mainly for safety and convenience: ADAS • Some (few) VACS have direct traffic flow implications

  6. VII or cooperative systems (connected vehicles) • Several of the above (e.g. CACC, cooperative lane-changing, …) • Vehicles = mobile sensors • What applications? • Direct link TCC --> vehicle (e.g. route advise, VSL, lane change, …) • Platooning • Various suggestions • Dedicated lanes?

  7. TRAMAN21: • Implications of emerging VACS for traffic flow behaviour: New traffic flow modelling approaches • Intelligent vehicles may lead to worse traffic flow efficiency: e.g. ACC with long time gaps; under-utilized dedicated lanes; informed but uncoordinated driver route choice; … • What functions should be enabled with V2V, V2I, I2V? • Exploitation of VACS for better Traffic Management

  8. … for an uncertain future VACS evolution and varying penetration levels

  9. 4. The TRAMAN21 Project • WP1: Overview, Analysis and Exploitation of VACS • WP2: Traffic Flow Modelling in Presence of VACS • Microscopic • Macroscopic • Simulation tools

  10. WP3: Motorway Traffic Control • Hierarchical control structure • Local control level • Network-wide traffic control • Large-scale virtual test site demonstration

  11. WP4: Local field test • With “conventional” VSL (+RM) • WP5: Dissemination • Publications • Presentations and seminars • Website and video www.traman21.tuc.gr
