Abstract

Traffic management in the Hannover Region plays an important role during events such as the worlds largest exhibition CeBIT, the EXPO 2000 or the FIFA Football World Cup. Instead of large and extremely expensive infrastructure measures for these special occasions, a large variety of management systems and a multi-modal management center guarantees excellent mobility for all users. One of the cornerstones of these systems is the tidal flow system on the fair expressway, where every morning and evening the incoming and outgoing traffic can use double capacity using also the opposite lanes. In a semi-automatic system with over 1.000 single dynamic parts, hydraulic beacons, automatic barriers and video support a 16 km long area can be switched within 20 minutes - and with only 6 responsible persons acting in the center and on the site. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
