Dynamic traffic management (DVM) is developing very rapidly. Systems are being put in and connected to obtain the best network optimalisation as possible and to provide the road users with up-to-date information. At the same time, individual road users are more and more able to acquire customised up-to-date information on the basis of which an optimal route can be planned. This could have some negative consequences for the road authority. If road authorities want to offer the road users a reliable mobility system, then co-operation between road authorities is necessary to offer accurate and complete traffic information and to divide the `pain' caused by a capacity shortage as honestly as possible. The municipalities will naturally take this initiative. They should have an objective method at their disposal to assess the appearing traffic flows. Using quality parameters could prove to be helpful in developing such a method. (A)
