A decision support system for the city of Beijing to develop and apply effective traffic measure schemes

This paper describes the development of a decision support system (DSS) for traffic management in Beijing. The extreme increase of traffic makes traffic management a major challenge, in which learning on the basis of actual traffic information is vital. The DSS comprises of a static and dynamic traffic model to analyze traffic conditions and variations. With this instrument, potential measures of traffic management are evaluated to define scenarios with traffic plans for improvement of traffic circulation under specific conditions like events, incidents and accidents, and bad weather. These scenarios are stored in a central database to be used in daily operations. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
