Traffic Management in the Netherlands • 2400 km Motorways, 1100 km motorways with motorway Traffic Management Systems • 5 regional traffic management centers and 1 national center • 315 Dynamic Route Information Panels • 113 Ramp Metering Systems • 13 Tunnels equipped with Tunnel Management Systems • 2800 Video camera Systems Relevance for APT: installed base

Traffic Management Developments • 1980 introduction TM: Improve road safety. • 1990 – 2000 large scale roll-out: Improve road safety and increase capacity. • 2000 – 2010 extra TM measures: information on travel times and route choice. • 2010 – 2020 focus on travel information and development of cooperative systems, maintenance and transition of TM legacy. Relevance for APT: must fit in broader policy framework

Traffic Management Future 2030 Paradigm shift: “self management unless…” • Letter to Parliament 7 february 2013 • Road user himself makes optimal use of the road network: self management • Traffic management/information facilitates self-management as much as possible • Information and advice from various public and private sources and via various media (roadside, smart phone, navigation system etc. ) • TM will intervene actively to minimize the negative effects of self management: – if the public objectives (throughput, liveability, safety) are threatened, – if the individual choices become counterproductive

Amsterdam Practical Trial (APT) Innovative automated traffic circulation in the Amsterdam Region Objectives • Trial with automated, proactive traffic management system and customised travel advice by innovative in-car information services • Monitioring and evaluation/learning lessons: – Policy effects (More efficient, safer and greener) – Cost-effectiveness – Support road users – Collaboration roadauthorities and private market compagnies • Investigate the possibilities of deploying a similar system to other areas in the Netherlands and abroad

Unique Selling Points APT • Innovative and unique algoritms developed by Technical University Delft: prediction of congestion • Automated, proactive networkmanagement applications installed on existing traffic management instruments • Concrete, large scale testing in daily traffic in the Amsterdam Region • Intensive public-private cooperation • Cornerstone for innovation of the dutch traffic management strategy • Katalyst for the further improvement of the traffic management processes • Chances for international cooperation

What is the Fo. T INM Amsterdam project about? • Integrated (coordinated) network management Field Operational Test • Both road-side measures and in-car measures • Stepwise development and application of a flexible, generic approach

Phase 1 Field 2013): road-side In the (July Operational Test “Praktijkproef Amsterdam” • Coordinated ramp meters A 10 W TU Delft is developing operational control methods • Coordinated intersection control s 102 for coordinated and s 102 • Coordination A 10 W control (planned in 2013) Coentunnel s 102 A 10 W Phase 1: in-car (seperate!) • Different trials with (mostly) in FCD data collection, in-car information providion and guidance • Regular and event conditions Expecting a reduction in Vehicle Loss Hours of over 30% due to using recent insights in dynamics and control • Phase 1 focusses on A 10 W and s 102 • Phase 2 considers ringroad + connecting urban arterials • Phase 3 considers entire regional network

Coordinated ramp-metering: • Use storage space on upstream ramps to meter longer • To fully use storage space, all buffer space (on-ramps) needs to be depleted at the same time Bottleneck Master ramp starts with metering (postpones congestion or removes it), but bufferspace is limited Based on bottleneck location controller chooses Master ramp ( ) Controller chooses Slaves that will support metering ( ) Metering rate of Slaves is chosen such that the metering period of the Slaves = metering period of Master (all buffers filled up at same time) Slaves create space on the freeway allowing the Master to meter longer

Actual status and planning • • • Roadside: working with prototype and production system. Prototype operational in 2013. 15 -4 -2013: first tests on the road. Also test for the strength of the cooperation. 26 -7 -2013 first integrated systemtest on the S 101. In car: awarding procurement to 4 private consortia 11 -10 -2013. 31 -7 -2014: go no go for roadside phase 2 End of 2015: go nog for APT phase 3

Conclusions/discussion • Predicting congestion: similar developements in Sweden? • International cooperation: concrete examples and possiblities? • Follow up of this visit?
