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

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

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

Tools for efficient (optimal) steering of road traffic in congested urban areas using real time data
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
