Abstract

• This presentation reports on the application of dynamic traffic
  > modelling techniques for the estimation of traffic conditions in a
  > real-world context. Within the R&D MOBINET project, a real-time
  > system called DINO, is currently under development for the dynamic
  > estimation of traffic conditions on the very dense network of the
  > Munich metropolitan area. Estimated traffic conditions are used by
  > transportation management operators and transmitted to private
  > information providers. The presentation describes the challenges
  > identified within the development process, mostly of practical nature,
  > and the solutions adopted so far to address them. Emphasis is placed
  > on the modified entropy-maximization algorithm for the time-varying
  > estimation of origin-destination matrices and the dynamic traffic
  > assignment process which results in the modelled link data.

Biography
