Real-Time-Traffic-Simulation and Prognosis in large scale Freeway-Networks — •Florian Mazur, Sigurdur F. Hafstein, Andreas Pottmeier, and Michael Schreckenberg — University Duisburg-Essen, Physics of Transport and Traffic, Lotharstr. 1, D-47057 Duisburg, Germany

Detailed and reliable information about the current traffic state is hardly obtainable by the road user. Therefore, we propose a web based visualization of the current and future traffic load of the autobahn network of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This novel traffic information system named autobahn.NRW is based on an efficient and highly realistic traffic flow model, which is fed by traffic data from 4,500 detecting devices across the road network every minute. The approach of modelling entries and lane-blocks is completely new. The three-phases-approach which has a higher degree of realism then ordinary approaches, divides the road in front of the disturbance into three sections. Each section has a special function. The borders of the sections are based on a typing of different junctions and lane-blocks, which results from the different layouts. The results of the traffic simulation are published by a graphical user interface which can be accessed at http://www.autobahn.nrw.de/.
