Abstract
By order of the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Public Works, a consultation was formulated in which the basic scenario developed by this Ministry is further considered and tested by knowledge and insights available at SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research. In this scenario, telematic traffic control is presented as a (partial) solution for problems of congestion on the main road network. It is pointed out that the collective development project of the University of Delft and SWOV concerning traffic control strategies appears to link up with the basic scenario.
