The aim of an effective and efficient mobility management system must be to prevent unnecessary traffic, to shift traffic to environmentally friendly transport modes and to use the existing resources as efficiently as possible. A commonly shared opinion concerning mobility management is that measures need to be taken to reduce the transport demand in stressed road networks and to be use the networks more efficiently.
Because traffic events are influenced by a multitude of individual decisions taken by the traffic participants, the most promising way to achieve a sustainable improvement of the mobility behavior is the targeted support of these decisions. In this respect, it is very important to provide information that is as current and reliable as possible, and to give high-quality advice. Sub-project 5 of the »intermobil Region Dresden« lead project, which was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), made a major contribution in this field by harmonizing and integrating existing and planned traffic management and control measures in the Dresden region.
