Implementation of new traffic control systems—Problems and approaches to solutions

Abstract

As a basis for understanding the technical and nontechnical problems of implementing new technology, some sets of systems have been developed. The main features are the level of intervention (information - recommendation - automatic intervention - automated driving) and the communication link between roadside infrastructure and vehicle. An implementation checklist and a general implementation strategy have been derived and explained based on the discussion of problems. There is a noteworthy example demonstrating this development path: the project STORM - Stuttgart Transport Operation by Regional Management.
