24 OR 48 HOUR ADVANCE TRAFFIC FORECAST IN URBAN AND PERIURBAN ENVIRONMENTS: THE EXAMPLE OF PARIS

Traffic managers today have no reliable tool for forecasting traffic 24 or 48 hours in advance, which would allow them to prepare and implement the appropriate local or general operation measures, in case of foreseeable events such as transport strikes, demonstrations on public thoroughfares, official visits, big shows or important expositions, sports events and weather conditions, for example. As this subject is difficult and has been little studied up to now, the City of Paris and the Direction Regionale de l'Equipement (SIER) joined forces and asked the National Institute of Research on Transport and its Safety (INRETS) to design the forecasting algorithms necessary and the SRILOG company to produce a computer based demonstration model allowing the operators to test this new tool. This work is performed within the framework of the CAPITALS European project, which replaces the CITIES project and groups the cities of Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, Rome and Paris. For the covering abstract, see IRRD 490001.
