PTV AG has announced that it will be presenting the next generation of trip planning solutions at Transport Logistic 2011 being held next week in Munich, Germany (www.transportlogistic.de). According to the company, this high-end planning software visualises complex transport processes, enables cooperative planning within the team of schedulers and joint scheduling of different types of transport in one single system.

Indeed, in the latter respect, PTV claims a world first for its multi-DIMA flexible distance matrix that runs automatically in the background. As PTV points out, a passenger car is faster than a van, and the latter is faster than a heavy goods truck. Additionally, a truck cannot always take the same routes as a smaller vehicle. Therefore, PTV SmarTour provides a separate DIMA for each vehicle profile, which means that the planning results are a lot more realistic and suited to each vehicle within the same plan. Other features include integration of all transport-relevant details, eco-friendly CO2 calculation, and the fact that SmarTour is freely scalable.

Solar power has been relatively slow in entering the transport sector, but a current blossoming of activity bodes well for the large-scale harnessing of an alternative energy that is zero-emission at source and, in practical terms, infinitely renewable. Traffic management and traveller information systems, and actual vehicles, are all emerging as areas for deployment. Meanwhile roads themselves are being viewed as new-style, fossil fuel-free ‘power stati

    Elmar Brockfeld, Alexander Sohr and Peter Wagner from the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Transport Systems look at the prospects for floating vehicle data systems. Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla
