The LLAMD Euro-Project: integrated field trials

The LLAMD Euro-Project (London, Lyon, Amsterdam, Munich and Dublin, with MARGOT) is a single project involving five major cities, encompassing linked field trials in a coordinated programme of research and development. The goal of the project has been to develop and demonstrate aspects of the integration of ATT systems within an integrated road transport environment (IRTE), based on the field trials in the five cities. One common theme of LLAMD is Advanced Travel Information Systems (ATIS). Each of the cities includes the development of one or more aspects of ATIS in its workplan. A second major theme is the development and implementation of systems for public transport, parking and park-and-ride information. Other key elements of the project include advanced traffic control, both urban and regional, and road safety aspects. The focus of the many ATT applications within the LLAMD group is the work on integration of applications into a single transport environment. This paper presents preliminary results of the field trials conducted in the LLAMD Euro-Project and discusses the potential for further development
