Introduction

The traffic management project aims to manage traffic in Dresden in an environmentally friendly way in order to improve the quality of life in the city. As many residential areas are located in the city center and it is not possible to reroute traffic, a comprehensive approach is being developed that combines traffic and environmental data. The result is a modern traffic management system that creates innovative solutions through cross-departmental cooperation.

The goal

The aim of traffic management is to specifically reduce traffic and environmental pollution in Dresden by developing an urban air quality index that is used for efficient traffic management. This system enables sustainable control of traffic flow and improves air quality and the urban climate in heavily polluted neighborhoods through targeted measures.
