StrATegy-conform mUltimodal RoutiNg

ON THE WAY TO SATURN

To reduce the burden on people and the environment caused by traffic, traffic management must be continuously improved. This requires inter-municipal cooperation, rapid data flow, and direct communication with traffic participants.

Traffic in Germany continues to grow, putting pressure on the environment and us humans. Daily commutes to work, trips for shopping, or day excursions to tourist areas often lead to unwanted and sometimes unnecessary traffic and environmental burdens.

This is where solutions from the fields of traffic information and traffic management come into play. Coordinated control strategies between cities and suburbia aim to improve the situation and present route/travel alternatives. Currently, only a few state of the art traffic information data sets are available to be implemented in information and navigation systems (mobile or in-car) on a rural level. Traffic management strategies are lacking in both rural and urban areas, making city- or town-compatible traffic handling significantly more difficult.

The research project SATURN (StrATegy-conform mUltimodal RoutiNg) aims to guide better informed traffic participants to their destinations. A system was created to standardize the transmission and processing of traffic management strategies from cities, regions, and countries to routing and information services.

With the improved data basis, service providers can offer their users more up-to-date and municipally/regionally compatible route suggestions. This will minimize traffic jams, misguided trips, and mobility-related emissions and imissions. The central data hub for data transmission is the national access point for traffic and mobility data, the Mobilithek.
Over the course of the approximately three-year project, nine project partners from industry, research, and administration worked together and tested the uniform creation and transmission of traffic management strategies and traffic information in three pilot areas.
