This paper focuses on linking a strategic private transportation model with a microscopic model in order to evaluate various ITS measures. Although the paper will be presented using access options of the new stadium as a particular example, the applied workflow can be transferred to numerous other applications. Germany will host the next football World Cup in 2006 and stadium renovation planning has already begun. A new arena will be built north of Munich located next to one of Germany's largest cloverleaf junctions - the interchange between A9 and A99. Access by public transport is guaranteed having a stop at the airport express. Access by private vehicle and buses, however, needs to be designed carefully. A parking lot with a storage of 22,000 vehicles is anticipated and should only be accessed via two motorway exits. To assure adequate traffic conditions on the motorway before and after the games different measures are considered. Among these considerations are constructional instruments like road widening with additional lanes; extension of weaving sections; an additional exit specifically serving the car park, as well as typical methods of ITS like dynamic speed control, route guidance, and dynamic use of shoulder lane. Micro simulation of traffic flow had been used to investigate various options prior to actually implementing these measures. For the covering abstract see ITRD E126595.
