Traffic Information Pilot Vienna (Austria)
Topic
Intelligent Transport System
Summary
With satellite navigation real-time fleet operation and route-planning could be
possible for urban distribution. The idea is to create an open source model where
users can easily profit from services by implementing simple application.
This case study was collected in the framework of the Bestufs project.
Case Study
Introduction
TIP is a pilot for an integrated traffic management and information service for the
region of Vienna based on EGNOS (GALILEO) which was initiated by the Austrian
Research Center Seibersdorf and TecNetCluster Vienna in 2001.
Basic facts
The system offers data and services which has relevance for urban freight transport.
With satellite navigation real-time fleet operation and route-planning could be
possible for urban distribution. The idea is to create an open source model where
users can easily profit from services by implementing simple application.
Traffic control systems are generating data with satellite technology (GALILEO).
Different ITS-tools and technologies prepare the data for traffic management and
operational systems.
Parts of the concepts are:
- general traffic information;
- jam warning;
- optimised route planning.
Users and stakeholders
Initiated by the Austrian Research Center Seibersdorf and TecNetCluster Vienna, the
project could beneficiate citizens and every person involved in freight transport.
Implementation set-up
The main modules of the system are shown in the figure below:

Future prospects and conclusions
The project is strongly depending on the development of the GALILEO-project.
Further services and applications are planned like shown in the figure below:
