Regional Road Traffic Management in the Netherlands

This paper describes an approach to road traffic management (TM) from the network level. It is based on the experiences with the Het Alkmaar RegelSysteem (HARS) system in and around Alkmaar, The Netherlands. This system is meant to integrate TM on the urban, provincial and motorway networks near Alkmaar. The approach consists of a combination of top-down, scenario-based TM and bottom-up TM, which are based on communicating network elements (road segments and junctions). The paper argues that both ways have capabilities and limitations and that the best results can be achieved in combining the two and in achieving synergy between them.
