Especially in south-east Asia the rapid urbanization causes more and more traffic problems which end in air pollution, noise and generally bad living conditions. DLR-TS is working over 10 years in the field of sustainable transport for (upcoming) Megacities and urban areas generally. Outgoing from China in 2002, several joint projects and EC-projects were conducted and led to an good network with reliable project participants in economy and politics.
OptimUM
Optimization of Urban Traffic Management towards Environment - Friendly and Safe Mobility
In the recent past, environmental problems in emerging markets, especially in China, have increased dramatically. Compared to the slightly decreasing air pollution caused by the industry, traffic-related air pollution has increased significantly. High traffic congestion in urban areas raises the level of pollution which in turn results in a disturbance of daily life of inhabitants in large cities. Especially in big cities, like Beijing, the air pollution level is above the critical health threshold. Beside the environmental issues traffic safety aspects need also to be focused. Compared to European Cities the level of traffic safety in China like in other emerging countries is much lower. Reasons for that are for instance the high amounts of motor bicycles and scooters as well as the fact that traffic rules are often not observed. This leads to chaotic traffic situations in many intersections. Now, countries like China are asked to solve these problems and improve the current precarious situation.
Together with the Chinese partners the project OptimUM addresses this issues and helps to create an environmentally friendly and safe mobility. The partners analyze and develop solutions to reduce the air pollution and increase traffic safety at intersections. The approaches are implemented and evaluated at real intersections in the ITS test area in Hefei, China. The findings of the research project will help to reduce the high level of traffic-related air pollution in China, later worldwide, by applying an efficient traffic and transport management system. Further it will provide a contribution for safer road mobility.

20.-21.02.2019 – SUMO Basic Training Course
Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) is an open source, highly portable, microscopic road traffic simulation package designed to handle large road networks. SUMO has been extensively applied in different projects related to network performance, traffic assignment, vehicle routing, traffic impact analysis, traffic emission, V2X and other diverse traffic issues since more than 15 years. In addition to conventional vehicles electric vehicles can also be considered and analyzed in SUMO. Different parking activities, such as searching for parking lots, driving to the pre-assigned parking space, can be simulated with SUMO. Moreover, SUMO can simulate pedestrians, bicycles and their interactions with vehicles in order to present various traffic-related activities in cities.
This training course focuses on the basic application for setting up and revising a traffic simulation scenario and the respective simulation execution and visualization.

2017-03-20 First trip to China
In the major cities of China millions of new vehicles are now causing increasing traffic congestion, air pollution and a shortage of parking space. They are therefore very interested in the DLR-project GIP2China with his scientific and technical consulting in research, development and implementation of system solutions, their extensions and costumer-oriented adaptations in the field of traffic management as well as environmental and future-oriented mobility solutions.
The first trip to China led the GIP2China- team to Beijing, Chengdu and the two smaller citys MianYang in the Sechuan Province and XuanCheng in the Anhui Province.
Beijing:
At a meeting with the KfW in Beijing the further procedure in the project ITS Construction for Huainan and the potentials for further projects were discussed. In addition the German embassy was visited and the project idea presented to the new transport councilor, Mrs. Petra Weindorf, and her Team.
Chengdu:
The second stop of the trip was Chengdu (Sechuan Province). A first meeting with project participant EUPIC took place. In addition a workshop with the municipal authorities of Chengdu was held. The city has expressed great interest in GIP2China and will work with the GIP2China team to take further steps towards project management. A specialist workshop with all German project participants in Chengdu will be held in October (date?).
The fastest developing region of Chengdu is the TianFu New City with a surface area of 1578km². At a meeting with the administrative bodies of the City the great potentials of cooperation between GIP2China and the fast-growing district were identified. GIP2China plans further involvement in the city during the project period. During his stay in Chengdu, the project team was also presented at the German Consulate in Chengdu. Ingrid Delfs, the Deputy Consul General, has welcomed the activities in Chengdu and promised her further support.
MianYang and XuanCheng:
In 2016 the city of MianYang has built up a modern parking management system, which has impressed the project team with its comprehensive data and management center. There is great interest in the further use of BigData by MianYang.
In XuanCheng, the project team was welcomed by the Deputy Mayor Yangchang TIAN, and the KfW-Model-Huainan was presented to the responsible authorities (Transport Police, Transportation Committee and Finance Department) during a meeting and analyzed the applicability to XuanCheng. Following the team's return to Germany, the city has already asked for further steps on the concrete approach that the GIP2China team is working on with local project participant AnhuiKeli.
