3264 PTV Group and the city of Karlsruhe in Germany are to cooperate in the development of smart mobility in the region, with the goal of establishing a real-time traffic prediction system for the Karlsruhe Technology Region.

At the company’s newly renovated, PTV is investing in a new demonstration room, the Mobility Lab, where traffic engineers and municipalities from around the world can experience virtually the new Karlsruhe smart mobility concepts. The Karlsruhe city traffic management unit will maintain operational control of the proposed system and actual day-to-day traffic management.

PTV already has agreements from leading data suppliers to supply the project with appropriate traffic information and mobility data, although the city will retain responsibility for the traffic management measures that will ultimately be implemented. PTV will integrate its Optima into Karlruhe’s traffic management centre to provide real-time traffic information for the entire traffic network and reliable forecasts for the next sixty minutes.

Following discussions on the implementation of the project, he PTV Group’s goal is to go live with the new Karlsruhe real-time traffic prediction platform at the start of 2017.
