/ setting the scene To set the scene, we are talking about a country that: is shaped by the river deltas of the rivers Rhine, Meuse and Schelde is characterised by a high population density and corresponding density of socio-economic regions struggles with an infrastructure that time by time cannot cope with the traffic streams, on the road, fairways and railways
/ setting the scene A country that builds on traffic management, given the: massive traffic flows with wide spread rush hour periods critical mix of modalities (bicycle, motor car, heavy traffic, busses, trams, train, inland barges and pleasure crafts) waterway crossing at critical places heavily used railways and rail way crossing at critical (urban) places
/ setting the scene Now in 2017..who is responsible for traffic management?
/ index After some decades on implementing traffic management in the Netherlands new approaches are needed! A new approach in public-public collaboration A new approach in public-private collaboration
/ the right development Sustainable traffic management a (new) approach in public-public collaboration
/ collaboration in traffic management Let us first have a look at barriers for traffic management that triggered sustainable traffic management
/ barriers for traffic management Barrier n o 1. Administrative borders administrative borders turn road network into a jigsaw puzzles although high level polices might be similar, every administration tends to detail out ( colour ) these policies from their own perspective for their own area of responsibility altogether the variety of policies might be counterproductive for traffic optimisation
/ barriers for traffic management..a phenomenon for metropolitan areas all over Europe Stockholm Metropole Amsterdam Metropole Greater Manchester
/ barriers for traffic management Barrier n o 2. Interwoven (layered) road network motorways, rural roads, urban roads, all together they form a coherent road network in a metropolitan region, within a city, a regional road network functions like a waterbed traffic optimisation can only be done by taking the coherent road network in consideration, whatever the geographical scope we take
/ barriers for traffic management Barrier n o 3. misalignment between policy demands and dayto-day operations Copied from Dreamstime.com how to configure a traffic light controller such that it both prevents deadlocks and grid locks and contributes to the (new) policy objectives? same for rerouting traffic? saturated corridor or network grid lock dead lock
/ barriers for traffic management Sustainable Traffic Management, an approach to overcome these barriers
/ sustainable traffic management Sustainable traffic management starts with a shift in paradigm Shift the focus from traffic optimisation to how to utilise the network of motorways, avenues and streets optimally?
/ sustainable traffic management Utilisation differs from optimisation Not every traffic jam is an issue Maximum speed is not always the desired (harmonic) speed Not every route is a route to be used for rerouting..
/ sustainable traffic management Utilisation needs to be approached from three directions Policies TM strategy Service levels Services TM tactics OPERATIONS TM scenarios instruments Technologies
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level Strategic collaboration can best be explained via an example
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level Urban regions interlinked via a strategic road network (part of the Trans-European Network)
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level urbanised regions Natural tension between various interest economic centres Do we give preference to the economy (and thus economic centres and ports), cities (an thus urban areas), nature,? main, brain and green ports
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level If economy prevails, then we will start with the corridors that interlink the economic centres and ports
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level Following this reasoning, we end up with a scheme that expresses the relevance of the corridors (relevance 4) (relevance 3) (relevance 2) Strategic road network corridors interlinking socio-economic regions corridors that interlink economic core areas and main, brain and green ports on European level (relevance 1). weakest links from traffic management perspective
Regional scheme for Zuid-Holland / collaboration in traffic management on strategic level Ring road of Rotterdam and Traffic node The Hague
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level You might recognise this for the Danish situation (example for Greater Copenhagen)
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level Now, let us step from a national via a regional scheme to a local scheme
/ collaboration / what in is traffic the added management value of on traffic strategic control? level..underlying spatial-socio-economic considerations Safeguard throughput on motorways Zones where traffic can be buffered when necessary from network perspective Safeguard quality of environment in inner city Prevent grid locks in residential areas Spread traffic over the entrances to the city Source: city of Venlo
/ collaboration in traffic management on strategic level As such, coordinated network wide traffic management is a matter of collaboration and commitment
/ sustainable traffic management Utilisation needs to be approached from three directions Policies TM strategy Service levels Services TM tactics OPERATIONS TM scenarios instruments Technologies
How starts best from the triple helix / collaboration in traffic management on tactical level
/ collaboration in traffic management on tactical level An example
/ collaboration in traffic management on tactical level Possible solutions? Network-wide coordination of measures! Deploy measures jointly and coherently to prevent above limitations (e.g. coordinated ramp-metering, intersection control, etc.) Use buffer-space elsewhere in the network Deploy measures jointly and consider network effects

/ public private collaboration in traffic management Here, new ways of public private collaborations come in place
Four levels of support to a vehicle driver / public private collaboration in traffic management Traffic Manager Intervene electronic stability control autonomous cruise control lane departure warning collision avoidance Automotive OEM Inform travel times traffic jams (location & lengths) weather obstructions Service Provider Warn & Advice traffic conditions conditions road surface weather conditions route guidance speed alert driving & rest times Instruct (directive) traffic control at intersections and junctions dynamic speed limits opening / closure of traffic lanes hard shoulder usage, rush hour lanes diversions ADAS IVIS ATM Autonomous driver assistance Information and guidance Traffic management
Support that has a geographical scope / public private collaboration in traffic management driving direction vehicle dynamics direct surroundings x kilometre ahead (e.g. 2 km) regional network
Now, who is responsible for the ten kilometre gap in driver assistance and guidance? Level Range Driving tasks Products Local vehicle level Up to 100 m Operational (maintaining & tuning speed, headway, heading) / public private collaboration in traffic management ACC, LDWA, BLIS Traffic controllers, ramp metering Downstream traffic flow level Network levels 0,1-10 km Tactical (choosing speed, headway, lane) 10 km and more Strategic (route choice) Static navigation Variable Message Signs, Dynamic Traffic Signs Navigation plus RDS-TMC or TPEG, navigator bound traffic information Variable Message Signs
Conflicts of interest / public private collaboration in traffic management Braess paradox
