Projekt eCoMove
In the context of the European research project eCoMove, MAT.TRAFFIC is going to implement its dynamic network model MAT.NetState in test sites in Munich (Germany) and Helmond (The Netherland). Besides the estimation of current and future traffic states the network model will particularily also compute optimal route distributions for the traffic networks which correspond to minimal overall CO2 emission of all vehicles in the network.

Product launch 'MAT.CrossCheck'
The product MAT.CrossCheck, which has already been available some months as a trial-version, can be bought now as full version. In case of interest please contact Mr. Paul Mathias (T: 0241 963 1715, E: paul.mathias@mat-traffic.de).
20.03.2011:
MAT.TRAFFIC presented itself, its solutions and its new product MAT.CrossCheck at the HEUREKA 2011 (16.-17.03.2011) in Stuttgart. A lot of interested people visited the booth to inform themselves about the topic "Simulation based quality analysis for traffic light control".
01.01.2011:
The product of MAT.TRAFFIC called MAT.CrossCheck is completed now as a first version. "MAT.CrossCheck" is a test tool to automatically perform a comprehensive quality analysis for traffic light control already within the planning phase. It is an AddOn for the micro simulation VISSIM (PTV AG). The tool systematically generated VISSIM tests for local traffic light control, runs them with VISSIM, analyses the results and compiles the results in reports. "MAT.CrossCheck" thus helps to make the quality safeguard more systematic and considerably more efficient with its automated tests. The increase in efficiency is especially reflected in the significant saving of time. As of March 2011 "MAT.CrossCheck" will be available as a trial version, so that all those interested can test the tool with full range of functions in their own working environment.
01.10.2010:
In the context of the European research project eCoMove eCoMove MAT.TRAFFIC will lead the architecture phase that concerns to the system architecture of the infrastructure sub-system. The work is scheduled to be finalized until February 2011.
01.04.2010:
MAT.TRAFFIC is going to implement a geo-database for the German research project simTD (Sichere Intelligente Mobilität - Testfeld Deutschland), as a sub-contractor, which serves as basis for comprehensive test evaluation at the Hessen test site. The research project simTD focusses on research and testing of the car-to-x-communication and its use for the safe and intelligent mobility of tomorrow. The geo-db will be realised as a gis-db. Apart from the actual database MAT.TRAFFIC will also realise various import and export functionality.
24.-26.03.2010:
Cooperative Mobility Showcase 2010: smart vehicles on intelligent roads. The showcase of the innovative v2v and v2i technologies took place in and arround Amsterdam RAI from 23 to 26 of March 2010. The final results of the integrated European research projects COOPERS, CVIS and SAFESPOT (European Union's Sixth Framework Programme for Research) has been presented there. MAT.TRAFFIC has been involved with several base technologies and applications: IRIS=Safe Intersection (SAFESPOT), Radarview for vehicles (CVIS), LTSM=Locale traffic states of motorways (CVIS) and 3G-Communication vehicle-infrastrukture (CVIS).
25.02.2010:
At the Dortmund test site of the European research project SAFESPOT safety applications ("Safe Intersection") have been introduced to jounalists and experts in the form of presentations and life demonstrations. The safety applications are based on the wireless data exchange between vehicles and infrastructur. Several TV teams (WDR, ZDF, N24 und Sat1) were at the test site and broadcasted tv reports afterwards. MAT.TRAFFIC was responsible for the implementation and road-side system integration of the safety application. Further informationen regarding the SAFESPOT showcase day in Dortmund can be found in the press kit SAFESPOT_Sichere_Kreuzung_Pressemappe.pdf and the presentations SAFESPOT_Sichere_Kreuzung_Praesentation.pdf.
07.09.2009:
In the context of the European research projekt SAFESPOT a test site for Cooperative Systems was installed in the city of Dortmund. The focus here, was on the application IRIS (Intelligent Cooperative Intersection Safety), which helps to improve the traffic safety in urban areas through detecting dangerous situations as early as possible and warning the traffic users concerned. IRIS was developed in close cooperation with TU-Munich and MAT.TRAFFIC. The successful evaluation of the system took place from the 25.-27.08.2009.
14.08.2009:
MAT.TRAFFIC is a partner in an "Integrated Project" of the 4. Call (FP7-ICT-2009-4 ), 7. Framework of the European Commission. The project, which at the moment is in the negotiation stage, is:
"EcoMove - Cooperative Mobility Systems and Services for Energy Efficiency".
The eCoMove project will create an integrated solution for road transport energy efficiency by developing tools to help drivers sustainably reduce unnecessary fuel consumption (and thus CO2 emissions), and to help road operators manage traffic in the most energy-efficient way. By applying this combination of cooperative systems using vehicle-infrastructure communication, the project aims to reduce fuel consumption by an overall 25%.
10.07.2009:
MAT.TRAFFIC is going to present the prototype of a microsimulation quality management tool for local traffic light control as an AddOn to VISSIM at the 19. PTV Vision User Seminar in Karlsruhe (29.-30. September 2009)
The new tool offers comprehensive and systematic quality management for local traffic light control already in the planning stage (before installation) which is based on automatic VISSIM simulations and evaluations.
02.05.2009:
Within the context of the research project CVIS, MAT.TRAFFIC is going to present and evaluate a new algorithm LTSM that online estimates current motorway traffic states on Februar 2010 at the CVIS test site Hessen.
The procedure is able to bring together and process road-side detector data with "floating car data" (FCD) in order to compute more accurate and highly resolved motorway traffic states. The fcd are so-named "beaconing signals" that are transmitted from the passing vehicles with a frequency of 2 Hz by means of a new wireless LAN technology (802.11p) to "road-side units" (RSU).
12.04.2009:
MAT.TRAFFIC is preparing a research project proposal (STREP) for the 5. Call (FP7-ICT-2009-5 ) at the 7. Framework of the European Commission. The topic of the project is
"NewRoNet - New Routing Optimization Using Neural Network Technologies".
NewRoNet focuses on a radically new multi-path routing approach for the management of data communication networks, which is based on the interpretation of the communication network as a special recurrent neural network consisting of sigma-pi-neurons together with a modified version of the recurrent back-propagation algorithm. The new mechanisms facilitate a powerful dynamic real-time management of large packet switching networks with implicit congestion control that can be implemented in a fully distributed way.
The proposal refers to Challenge1, Objective ICT-2009.1.1: The Network of the Future, a) Future Internet Architectures and Network Technologies.
