The MultiSat WebService for Mobility and Traffic

• Introduction and Overview
• Thomas Rupp, DLR, German Space Operations Center
• International Workshop on
• Satellite Based Traffic Measurement
• Berlin, Germany, September 9th and 10th 2002

Motivation

• According to current estimations the amount of
  annual costs in Germany caused by traffic
  congestion is almost 100 billion .
• This corresponds to about 6 of the gross
  domestic product.
• (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, November-12-2001)

Potential of improvement by well-known
optimization methods is currently in the order of
10. (Study Prognos AG, Basel, July-2001)

Vision

• In 10 years each road user
• will be continuously informed about the current
  traffic situation on his way
• ... and can arrange his route accordingly with
  high flexibility.

MultiSat will contribute significantly to realize
the vision.
