Traffic information for dynamic transport
planning better performance in logistics
relief for environment and infrastructure
LOGISTIK-VINFO will show how optimization
potentials for traffic and environment can be
realised by

• Time related and spatial shift of transport
  flows
• Drivers assistance for proactive and fuel saving
  driving
• It will be analysed and evaluated

• The advantages for fleet managers and suppliers
  by lower transport costs and better reliability
• The advantages for society and environment
  through better traffic flow and energy saving
  vehicle guidance

Tasks and fields of work

• Dispositiontour planning is being processed
  before delivery tour starts
• Dispositionactual tour controlling should ensure
  effective tour progress
• Vehicle/driverdriver will be influenced by
  assistance and tour monitoring
• Traffic informationdifferent traffic information
  will be used to optimize tour before and react
  during the tour

5
Tasks and fields of workTraffic management and
information

• Provision of dynamic traffic information will be
  adapted to the use within road transport
• Realisation of dynamic traffic information will
  be connected to the traffic management operator
  RUHRPILOT

6
Driver assistance

• Driver assistance systems can use actual or
  expected traffic situations to influence the
  drivers behaviour on certain trips.
• Traffic situations in these cases could be
  traffic light status now or in short-term future
  (detected and statistical calculated)

7
Disposition and actual tour execution

• traffic information from previous periods and
  data can be processed within tour planning for
  time and routing related shift of truck-trips
• Actual traffic information can help to identify
  delays in time
• The tour planner/ transport manager can react
  then in the best way

8
Solutions use cases field study

• Solutions will be developed in close
  collaboration with the logistics service partner
  Schober Transport GmbH
• The developed systems and services will be tested
  in day to day business
• Traffic information on the service region
  Ruhrgebiet will be used
• A research oriented evaluation will check
  influences on different involved persons and
  their acceptance for the systems

9
Solutions usability and transfer potential

• Needed conditions and possible influences on
  different levels like supplier, customer, traffic
  management or other logistic areas will be
  analysed
• Transfer potential and test results will be
  checked and evaluated

10
Project goals

• Improvement of tour planning and controlling
  systems
• Provision and processing of dynamic traffic
  information
• Better driver assistance for energy saving
  driving
• Minimize negative environmental impacts
