Dmotion -travel time and LOS estimation on slip roads as a part of an integrated route guidance system

The objective of the German research project Dmotion is the development of an integrated traffic management system for Greater Duesseldorf. Currently, each road authority is responsible for traffic control within its own territory - the City of Duesseldorf operating the urban road network, the Federal State of NRW operating the motorways. As two different operators are holding traffic data, modelling of travel time or LOS (level of service) for slip roads between urban roads and motorways is a missing link. For an integrated route guidance system based on a consistent report on traffic conditions and travel time analysis, a model was developed in order to estimate these values on slip roads. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
