Project:
Tram west tangent - environmental multiple tube

Service period:
2019 – 2020

Project client:
Stadtwerke München GmbH

Project description

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.
