Applying and Testing a New Generation Traffic Management with Multi‐objectives

This chapter provides an innovative solution to tackle the challenge by multi-objective traffic management and describes the differences in decision-making on a traffic management level when the different policy goals are taken into account. It also shows two case applications in the cities of The Hague and Helmond which provide an example of the extent of the potential that multi-criteria traffic management can offer. Multi-criteria Dynamic Traffic Management (mcDTM) is a solution to proactive traffic management, involving multiple departments at a public agency. Its technological core consists of traffic control and consistent traffic information by estimation and prediction, providing an expandable and module framework to future-proven technology and to open data technology platforms. In recent years, dynamic models as well as traveler's information are taken into account. The chapter section explores a few most relevant papers related to the topic such as Nagurney and Dong, and Tzeng and Chen.
