Overview

Background & policy context:

The aim of research is the development of a specific architecture and description of the interfaces for transmission and distribution of traffic data in order to control multimode traffic. These traffic data are used in traffic telematics services with consideration of the legal-institutional, economic and technical conditions in Switzerland. The planning has to take place in multi-mode with consideration of the private and public traffic on the road. Existing standards are to be considered.

Objectives:

For the transport telematics information about traffic and operating conditions must be provided, which go in their accuracy and completeness far beyond today via radio widespread traffic information. Today there are when procuring such information still big obstacles, which applies it to out of the way: Various ground control of the public transport and traffic control centers of road traffic, which complicate data acquisition, regional differences in the information density and quality, unclear responsibilities, lack of coordination between individual transport and public transport. The aim of the research is to identify a solution, as the information required by the traffic telematics can be efficiently provided and processed with minimal effort.

Methodology:

Following phases were provided during the project:

Phase 1: Basis and Analysis
Methodology: literature analysis, targeted interviews, survey needs of individual traffic telematics services

Phase 2: Possible Solutions
Methodology: Developing Their Own ideas for solutions; Consolidation and Recording of additional ideas in a work shop with EC members and additional experts from federal, cantonal and transport companies; Best solution decision together with experts Commission (proposal by Research Centre)

Phase 3: specification of Best solution
Methodology: System design - proof of compatibility with the set requirements and the technical implementation - to illustrate concrete examples of implementation. Development through Research Centre, consolidation and discussion in the Commission of Experts

Phase 4: Hold the Results
Methodology: creation by research body, cleanup by equity and debt
