Audi study „25th Hour – Flow“: No Congestion in the City of the Future

There is a huge potential for innovation in traffic management and control and its effects on the capacity of the road network. The maximum potential in traffic management can be achieved in a completely automated transport system (autonomous cars). It incorporates effects like omitting intergreen times at urban traffic signals (e.g. Audi Traffic Light Information), dynamic lane allocation in peak hours, advanced freeway control systems, and reduced amount of traffic due to search for parking spaces, but also infrastructural effects like the replacement of parking spots by drop-off zones.
