STUDY OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING EFFECT AND POSSIBLE USE OF CONGESTION WARNING SYSTEMS

UNTERSUCHUNG UEBER DIE VERKEHRSTECHNISCHE WIRKUNG UND DIE EINSATZMOEGLICHKEITEN VON STAUWARNANLAGEN

TESTS ARE TO BE CARRIED OUT ON AN INSTALLATION ALREADY CONSTRUCTED TO SEE WHETHER CONGESTION WARNING SYSTEMS ARE SUITABLE FOR GIVING TIMELY WARNINGS IN DIFFERENT CONGESTION SITUATIONS AND CAUSING ROAD USERS TO ADAPT THEIR DRIVING SPEED TO THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE WARNING SYSTEM.IT IS TO BE ESTABLISHED,BY RECORDING INSTANCES OF CONGESTION WHICH OCCUR,WHETHER THE WARNING INSTALLATION SUFFICIENTLY DEFINES THE FLUCTUATING END OF THE CONGESTED AREA.BY MEANS OF MEASUREMENTS THE EFFECT OF WARNING INSTALLATIONS ON DRIVER BEHAVIOUR IN VARIOUS TRAFFIC SITUATIONS IS TO BE DETERMINED. MOREOVER,BY THE USE OF WELL-KNOWN TESTS AND SIMULATIONS, CHECKS ARE TO BE CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONGESTION WARNING SYSTEMS CAN ALSO BE USEFUL IN SITUATIONS OF CONGESTION WHICH WERE NOT SHOWN ON THE INSTALLATION USED AND THEREFORE ALSO COULD NOT BE DETERMINED BY MEANS OF MEASUREMENTS.
