Untersuchung der Bedarfsumleitungsstrecken in Bayern

Evaluation of the alternative routing system in Bavaria

Outline

Alternative routing sstems in Bavaria play a decisive role, when disturbances (e.g. congestions or accidents) reduce the service capacity on highways. If there ist a disturbance, it should be possible to redirect the vehicles via alternative routes, according to the local requirements. This can be made possible, if the signage of the routes does not contain any wrong or mistakeable information - or if constrictions on road signs do not exclude any user groups (e.g. trucks because of weight limits over bridges).

These are the goals of this research project:

• Appraisal of the alternative routes in Bavaria
• Data Efficiency and capacity analysis
• Development of recommended procedures

The results will be visualized in a geographic information system.

 

Tasks of the Chair:

• Elaboration of an evaluation concept
• Data collection via inspections by car and data management
• Data analsyis and elaboration of action plans
• Spatial positioning of data via a gegraphic information system
