Project:
Tram west tangent - environmental multiple tube

The local transport plan of the city of Munich includes the construction of a new tram west tangent. It is to extend for a length of approximately 9 km and have 16 stops.

For fire safety reasons, a concept was created for a driving signal system in the environmental multiple tube and, using a self-developed calculation process, transport efficiency was tested for various public transport service concepts.

Subsequently, traffic-dependent controls were projected for the neighbouring hubs and the traffic flow was analysed the statistical indicators determined using the microscopic simulation.

• Concept creation of a driving signal system for the environmental multiple tube

• Development of a methodology for evaluating the transport efficiency of the infrastructure using the calculation methodology developed

• Conceptual traffic lights planning

• Performance of efficiency analyses according to RiLSA and HBS, taking public transport acceleration into account

• Traffic-dependent project planning of the traffic lights for the simulation

• Microscopic simulation with VISSIM: Model construction, calibration, evaluation

• Documentation/presentation of the results
