The paper shows how the new equilibrium dynamic traffic assignment model DYNAMEQ was successfully applied for in a study which examined an urban motorway in the city of Basel and a system of adjacent intersections. The traffic in this region is already quite dense and it will increase far aboveaverage due to several new urban developments. The goal of the study was to find measures to increase the capacity of the road network. In short term, there will be mostly traffic management solutions. In the long term, there are also new infrastructures that need to be evaluated. Due to the complex network and the congested traffic conditions, the evaluation of the measures had to be done using a dynamic model. DYNAMEQ was the model chosen. With this new model, it was possible to simulate an extensive part of the city traffic network with reasonable computation times. The modelling work has proved that the chosen measures lead to an acceptable traffic flowfor the next 20 years. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
