Open traffic data platform for scenario-based control

Integrating formally separated control systems of a city by means of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is well known under the term “Smart City”. The benefit is a more energy and cost efficient city. In the domain of road traffic an open traffic data platform shall be the base for smart road traffic infrastructure and services. The idea is to pool available data from road side sensors as well as aggregated data from sensor fusion units at a single place. Due to a highly scalable technology the platform can provide data to any system. The results are that fewer sensors are required for more accurate and efficient services.
