Reducing Congestion in Bottroper South: Advanced Traffic Control System
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the city of Bottrop is set to revolutionize its traffic management system. The city plans to build an intelligent traffic management system on the main traffic axis from Essen to Bottrop, with the majority of the funds coming from the Federal Ministry of Transport.
The goal of this ambitious project is twofold. On one hand, it aims to address acute challenges such as the long-term closure of the A42. On the other, it seeks to meet the future-oriented and sustainable mobility needs of its citizens, while also improving the quality of life in Bottrop.
The system will include digital communication between vehicles, traffic lights, and a traffic control center, with the aim of ensuring smoother traffic flow. The intelligent traffic lights will be installed from the main station to the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences.
Andreas Morisse, a prominent figure in the SPD faction, has expressed his hope that the traffic management system will relieve traffic in the heavily trafficked Oskarstraße and connecting streets in Ebel. The renovation of Bahnhofstraße and the expansion of Gohrweide are further steps in the traffic management plan, which aim to achieve the same goal.
The project is estimated to cost around two million euros, with the first contracts already awarded. The city's plan for the traffic management system includes an intelligent, data-driven, analytical, and multimodal mobility management system, which aligns with environmental protection guidelines.
The traffic management system is intended to be implemented agilely as part of a mobility strategy with diverse objectives. Employees of a commissioned company will explain the concrete possibilities offered by the new system in an upcoming traffic committee meeting.
While there is no direct data available detailing this specific traffic management system project in Bottrop, the city's commitment to sustainable transportation initiatives, such as its bike-sharing system metropolradruhr (nextbike), established around 2010, suggests a proactive approach towards modern mobility solutions.
