Providing Speed Advice to Vehicles Approaching an Intersection: Evaluation and Lessons Learned
In this paper an Optimized Dynamic Speed Advise (ODYSA) system is evaluated. This system was developed by DTV Consultants and recently (2010) implemented in the Netherlands in the province Zuid-Holland. ODYSA is designed to minimize, or at least reduce, the number of times the main stream traffic flow is forced to stop due to the presence of traffic lights at intersections. It does so combining traditional signal coordination and the provision of speed advises to vehicles. This system is relatively new in the Netherlands and there are plans to extend its use. The results from the evaluation in terms of fluidity of traffic are positive and promising but, as will be discussed in this paper, some difficult and major issues regarding fine-tuning of the speed advises and the Human Factors interaction with the system should be addressed first.
