Case Study Germany:From Transport Management to Mobility Management CEDR PG Capacity and Service to Users Dr. Fritz Bolte Bundesanstalt fuer Strassenwesen (bast) / (Federal Highway Research Institute) Berne, July 6th, 2006
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 Objectives • Road & Traffic Safety • Transport Economy • Environmental protection • Adequate use of Road network • Balanced Cost allocation to Road users • Accessibility 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 Regulations
Solution • Information Channel „from loop to Radio“ • Coded Locations • Coded Events • International Standards • Permanent traffic Message Transmission
Synergy ... ... and In-Vehicle Information ... of Roadside Regulations ...
Road Pricing as Tool • Route Choice • Demand Management • Travel Times • Modal Choice • Migration to less polluting Vehicles

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 installed • Sub-optimal Traffic & Environmental Monitoring (Coverage, time delays, undetected problems) • Signs activated after occurrence of problems • Human misbehaviour (insufficient rule compliance, wrong decisions) • Technical vehicle problems • Time 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
Further Shareholders, new Technologies • Police: enforcement • Public Transport Operators • Public and Private Service Providers • New Vehicle and Electronic Technologies (IVS, ITS, C2C, C2I) • Communication Industry • Traffic Participants and their Associations
Intelligent Vehicle Systems (IVS) • navigation systems • automatic control of vehicle aggregates • systems supporting parking manoeuvres etc. • Driver monitoring • longitudinal or lateral vehicle cruising control, collision warning systems, stop-and-go support (ADAS) • environmental warning systems • pre-crash systems (belt conditioner, airbag activation) • rescue alerting systems
New Strategies, new Tools • Pre and on Trip Information • Principle: User has to decide and has final responsibility • Demand Management: Intermodal Information, Road Pricing, Parking management, Congestion Charging (UK,S) • Co-ordinated Actions by RA, Police, PT Operators (Access to operational Data networks) • Trans-Network Operation (all network categories) • Influencind Route selection by RDS-TMC
Basis for new Strategies • Agreements on co-operation between responsible Actors • Agreements on Strategies • Provision of day-to-day co-operation • Joint data basis or access to data • Expoitation of new data sources (FCD, xFCD, FPD, Road User reports etc.) • Sophisticated traffic monitoring techniques on the basis of fused current and historic data • ...

Basis for Co-operation and Expoitation of new promising Management Strategies and (ITS) Tools • „Joint Vision of Traffic 2010“ • Business Cases for all actors concerning their core / kernel Businesses • „win-win Situation“ • .... • Lot of work need be done:Let´s do it!
