Task
Multimodal traffic study including possible changes to the network configuration, such as a relief road or reorganization of public transport access.
EVTI GmbH from Leipzig was commissioned to provide road design support for the project.
Work steps
The following steps were implemented as part of the project:
- Updating the traffic model: Updating the traffic model with new data and technologies in order to accurately depict current and future traffic scenarios.
- Analysis of existing Elbe crossings: Investigation of the condition and performance of the current bridges and tunnels across the Elbe to identify areas for improvement.
- Analysis of all road users: Collection and evaluation of data on all road users such as cars, trucks, buses, bicycles and pedestrians in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the traffic situation.
- Traffic surveys: Systematic collection of traffic data, such as traffic volumes and speeds, for the planning and evaluation of traffic infrastructure.
- SWOT analysis: Evaluation of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks of a project for sound decision-making and strategic planning.
- Variant development: Development and comparison of different planning alternatives in order to find the best solution for the transportation project.
- Definition of plan cases: Definition of various scenarios and assumptions for the planning of transportation projects to assess their impact.
- Impact assessment: Analysis of the effects of transport projects on the transport system, the environment and the quality of life in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures.
Results
The following results are available:
- Variants with evaluation of the Cracau relief effect with regard to the criteria modal split, traffic performance, event traffic and average, nature conservation, cityscape and landscape, construction costs,
- Recommendation for a preferred variant.
- Road design
