HANNIBAL: EU FRAMEWORK TRANSPORT TELEMATICS INTEGRATED APPLICATION PROJECT

This paper discusses how the HANNIBAL (High Altitude Network for the Needs of Integrated Border Crossing Application and Links) project is an important European transport link, and outlines the contribution this project will make to better cross-border transalpine and corridor traffic management. An overview is provided concerning the focus in HANNIBAL on integrated network management by creating, developing and testing several advanced transport telematics applications which will enable better traffic management, increase transport efficiency and which address user requirements. The principles of the three inter-related demonstrations (Corridor, Alps Crossing and Sestriere) are presented in the context of the objectives they have in combination with each other or in relation to specific events. The traffic management and technical aspects of the project (and demonstrations) are based on the development of operational management strategies using available ATT tools for both day-to-day network traffic management (comprising user information services, multilane automatic tolling, automatic incident detection and travel time estimation), and traffic management during exceptional operational conditions (such as crossing the Alps along the Franco-Italian border and the 1997 World Skiing Championships in Sestriere). The results of the HANNIBAL project will permit improved exploitation of the Paris-Lyon-Turin-Milan-Trieste road network. The results will also be easily applicable to other road networks whose variable topographical characteristics require a capacity for adaptation and a speed of reaction for which a telematics-based control strategy is an essential element.
