INCOME - Integration of Traffic Control and Other Measures
Overview
Background & policy context:
Congestion is a growing problem in many European cities. Local authorities are looking to new technologies for traffic management as one means of tackling this. Moreover, regulating the traffic flow may reduce vehicle emissions, and giving priority to buses may foster a modal shift to public transport. These benefits are expected to be greater through the integration of multiple systems, such as urban traffic control and driver information. However, there is limited evidence on the real-life performance of such systems on which to base investment decisions.
Objectives:
The goal of INCOME was to provide decision-useful information on the performance of integrated urban traffic management systems (UTMS) combining urban traffic control (UTC), public transport management systems (PTS) and driver information systems (DIS).
