Integrated Traffic Management Niedersachsen (IVN)
Today high quality, reliable and sustainable services suffer from immature traffic data available to service providers and traffic managers. In order to cope with their requirements a new generation and approach for traffic data processing is being developed that combines networkoriented data acquisition, intelligent multisource data fusion and seamless service provision in a scalable and customizable manner.
The approach allows versatile utilisation of regional traffic and mobility content for as different applications as traffic management and control, fleet management and mobility information services.
Main Objectives
- Innovative traffic data collection by means of CityFCD and data fusion with existing detection systems as well as the application for upcoming major events (Football World Cup)
- Traffic information and mobility services including intermodal change information
- Disposition support for fleet management allows commercial logistic services in compliance with urban development plans
- Dynamic traffic management activating control measures ranging from intersection level to state-wide traffic distribution
- Citizen-oriented mobility information services available through internet and broadcasting media (DAB, TMC)
- Ecologic impact derives from equal traffic distribution, constant flow control and application of innovative emmission reduction technologies and respective urban legislation
Range of Impact
European transport and environment policies in accordance with regional development strategies are major drivers for ITS technological innovations reaching from vehicle design and operation to traffic control and intelligent traffic management:
- an EU-wide e-safety initiative is addressing the targets from the whitebook transport policy concerning safety and security - IVN contributes to solving the issue with intelligent prognosis based congestion management on a large scale through network balancing as well as real-time information providing
- on a European level air pollution regulation are being updated implementing Kyoto protocol and best practices are currently being analysed for fullfillment on regional level - IVN addresses the issue with integration of public transport in the overall traffic management strategy: public transport services are generating real-time traffic data within the road network of the metropolitan area contributing to preemptive management and control and thus benefiting from reduced congestion delays and fuel consumption
- within the framework of Galileo programme a new generation of logistics mangement systems particularly for city logistics is under development: Hanover is a leading city for advanced logistics solution and its integration in local transport policies. IVN's intelligent traffic management implements dedicated route guidance for commercial services, which is in compliance with traffic, environmental and economic requirements.
With these core issues being addressed by the consortium of IVN, the Federal State Ministry for Economics supports a flagship project, providing technological advanced solutions and best practice for implementation to the public.
