Essential steps for achievement

Targeted measures (upgrading, conversion) to increase the basic capacity Intelligent use of available transport infrastructure with the help of telematics systems [e.g. for traffic management and traffic information] Consistent use of potentials to increase road safety, particularly in heavy vehicle traffic Immediately towning of neglected and accidented vehicles Minimise the disruption of traffic flow resulting from construction sites by coordinated road works management Division of responsibilities between individual transport and public transportation, particularly in regional transport

Limits of collective traffic control systems

Traffic situation analysis and forecast only on motorways Outside of motorways traffic data only available for the operation of local traffic control systems, e.g. traffic lights Traffic control systems will not be available all over the country Differentiated traffic control only possible in a very limited way Different local and regional developments caused by distributed responsibilities and limited interoperability of telematics systems Sustainable operation not everywhere guaranteed Only limited financial resources on site of public authorities ...
