Future traffic control beyond modes

Efficient use of available inter-modal infrastructure and utilization of spare capacity can improve mobility in future cities. With our experience in railway and road traffic control, we aim at studying multi-modal hierarchical traffic control mechanisms that could manage mobility in an integrated way. Currently we are limited to lack of communication and/or collaboration between inter-modal infrastructures. Each operator makes decisions independently, and thus, may negatively affect users’ mobility. Railway and road traffic optimize their performance separately, but an integrated framework could be beneficial.
