Abstract

This paper describes the ROMANSE (ROad MANagement System for Europe) project for integrated urban transport management (IUTM) in the city of Southampton, England. Its main objectives are to: (1) influence travel behaviour by the widespread dissemination of accurate and timely traffic and travel information; (2) increase the demand for public transport, by improving the amount and quality of information to travellers; (3) increase the efficiency of the transport network as a whole; and (4) provide high-quality information for both immediate and long-term strategic decisions. These objectives are being achieved by a Traffic and Travel Information Centre (TTIC) in central Southampton, which will collate, Southampton, which will collate, evaluate, coordinate and disseminate relevant real-time information. TTIC operators will use this to decide on selected strategies, applying innovative short-term forecasting techniques, then implement them by providing travellers with trip-planning and en-route information, using many dissemination media. ROMANSE's IUTM system upgrades Southampton's SCOOT traffic control system, uses a geographical information system (GIS), and provides online control and guidance. The RGCONTRAM dynamic assignment model is used to model route guidance.
