THE "SMART BISON" OPERATION

LE BILAN DE L'OPERATION "BISON FUTE"

Holiday departures and returns are associated traditionally in France with bottlenecks and traffic queues on certain routes. In order to mitigate the failure of a real implementation of a staggering holiday policy, the "smart bison" operation has the objective of staggering hourly and daily peak hour traffic. Such an operation can have 3 aspects: (1) improvement in traffic distribution within a given time, (2) improvement in traffic distribution on a given section of a journey, and (3) improvement of vehicle information advice.
