Project description

Stadtwerke München are expanding their tram route to North East Munich, so that the districts of Bogenhausen and Oberföhring obtain a high-performance transport link with the local public transport.

The new route is around 4.3 km long and serves nine new stops.

The tram moves along a green track in the middle of the road, and passes a total of 18 hubs controlled by traffic lights.

In order to keep idle time for the trams to a minimum at the traffic lights, all traffic light controllers were fitted with local public transport acceleration components.

Half of these systems were planned by Vössing.

Apart from the demands of public transport, personal transport also had to be included in the logistics concept.

To this end, performance calculations were carried out, and green waves planned, before the signal controlling concept could be finally determined.

The planning and programming of the traffic light systems was carried out to build on this.
