The main interest of the system is to avoid traffic congestion, either for pure traffic efficiency, for environmental reasons or to avoid noise in residential areas.
In this context, the use of mobility matrices and simulation scenarios is essential to be able to estimate traffic in each zone (previously) and make decisions to modulate demand (dynamic tolls, reversible lanes, etc.).
To carry out the simulation scenarios, the available model of the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona, owned by ATM (Metropolitan Transport Authority), is used, which meets extension needs and offers multiple possibilities for defining pricing measures aimed at reducing congestion or emissions. This is a realistic model with the availability of existing resources and is macroscopic, on the VISUM trading platform.
This project has been possible thanks to a subsidy received from Nommon from the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI), in the modality of Sustainable Automotive Technology Program.
