ITSAW - ITS Austria West
Overview
Background & policy context:
Intelligent Transportation Systems will make a significant contribution to sustain our mobility over the long term. The deployment for intelligent approaches designed to meet the increasing traffic demand while more efficiently utilising the existing infrastructure and resources are the central challenges for the future. The consistent provision of reliable and up-to-date traffic information transmitted to all traffic participants is vital in this context. In the scope of the project “ITS Austria West” the future challenges are addressed in a new and innovative way in the federal province of Upper Austria and Salzburg.
Objectives:
An integrated platform of traffic information is a current and reliable information backbone and the basis for modern traffic management systems. The aim of the project “ITS Austria West” is to implement a traffic simulation environment.
Methodology:
The most important factors of success are to integrate all relevant data and to filter irrelevant information of different sources, to collect it, to process it and to deliver the results to the centralized system via defined interfaces as a predefined data type. In doing so, strict standards need to be be respected. A further requirement for the new intelligent transportation systems is to ensure compatibility with other systems in the neighboring regions. E.g. in Bavaria the online-service "Bayerninfo.de“ was implemented. The project “ITS Vienna Region” was initiated by the federal provinces Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland some years ago.
