Project:
Traffic simulation FTC Ingolstadt

The FTC Ingolstadt borders directly on the Audi factory Ingolstadt, and takes on important logistical functions, which either there is no room for inside the plant premises, or have been outsourced for functional reasons.

In October 2013, the hall T in the freight transport centre Ingolstadt was put into operation.

This hall is the largest hall in the FTC, and as a novelty, it has two storeys.

This means a significant increase in the logistics transport between the FTC and the Audi factory, and a relocation of the existing traffic flows.

With the help of the microscopic traffic simulation, the traffic flows in the FTC were mapped in several variants, and analysed, in order to be able to cover and optimise possible bottlenecks.

• Inventory analysis of the existing traffic flows

• Organisation of a count of the various transport types in the FTC (individual transport, stationary traffic, logistics transport)

• Development of the microscopic simulation model of the FTC including the transit to the Audi factory

• Identification of causes of disruptions

• Development of optimisation measures

• Comparative investigation of various bundles of measures

• Variant recommendation
