Final presentation of SCHOOL on 25.02.2021
Growing traffic volumes are the cause of gridlocked traffic and traffic jams, especially in large cities and conurbations. Other consequences are environmental pollution, especially from carbon dioxide, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. The municipalities control traffic in order to keep the adverse effects on road users and residents as low as possible. Often there is a lack of reliable data and data exchange between the various actors. The mFUND project SCHOOL (Strategy Change through Open Data Oriented Solutions) has taken on this challenge and is now reaching its conclusion.
Project goals:
- Consolidation of the various traffic and environmental data
- Development of software tools for operational strategy management
- Quality and impact analysis of traffic management measures
- Dissemination of strategy-compliant routing recommendations via various information channels
- Development of the SCHOOL app for the delivery of individual recommendations to road users
- Implementation and testing of an incentive system to reward road users for their behavioural recommendations.
Bauhaus University has contributed significantly to this by working on the development of an evaluation framework for the traffic and environmental assessment of traffic management measures. In addition, pilot applications in Dortmund (traffic management), Frankfurt/Main (environmentally oriented traffic management) and Kassel (alternative route control) were evaluated from a traffic and environmental perspective. In addition, the scientists developed and evaluated viable business models based on the products used and developed in SCHOOL.
The presentation of the project results will take place on Thursday, 25.02.2021, 9.00-12.30 on the YouTube channel of the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen. The event is open to interested parties.
