1. Dynafloat: Dynamic urban traffic flow management using floating car, planning, and infrastructure data Topconsortia voor Kennis & Innovatie (TKI) and NWO 21-1-2015Dynafloat project1 By: Ahmad Al Hanbali, Industrial Engineering and Business Information Systems (IEBIS), University of Twente

2. Why Dynafloat Proposal? Accessibility: growing population in urban areas (70%), limited and expensive capacity Complexity: traffic network with wide interactions, big networks, heterogeneous users with unpredictable behavior Environmental and economic cost: particles and gas emission, noise. 1Billion euros estimated cost of traffic jams (NL 2012) Key contribution: Tools for efficient (optimal) steering of road traffic in congested urban areas using real time data 21-1-2015 Dynafloat project 2

3. Data, technologies, opportunities 21-1-2015Dynafloat project3

4. Dynafloat: objective and structure Dynamic control of both freight and passenger flows by using the massively available planning and floating car data in addition to data from roadside equipment 21-1-2015Dynafloat project4 Work packages: 1.in-car navigation systems 2.road infrastructure 3.pricing and rewarding WP 2 road Infrastruc ture WP 1 in-car control WP 3 pricing and rewarding

5. Scientific quality Stochastic operations research/ queueing theory – Uncertainties, interactions – Combined with real-time data New and key aspects: – Optimization on the network level – Trade-off individual users vs network optimization – Heterogeneous traffic flows – Robust control under moderate and severe congestion 21-1-2015Dynafloat project5

7. Outcomes and knowledge utilisation Quantitative decision tools  queueing network models  unpredictable traffic behavior  interactions in urban areas  KPIs: total time spent in congestion (waiting) and number of stops per vehicle type Models  facilitate what-if scenarios (accidents, rerouting of traffic)  quantitative relation between events and consequences Output  case studies  scientific and professional publications  3 PhD theses with several master and bachelor projects Dissemination  national  European/international 21-1-2015Dynafloat project7
