Goal and impact
Boating traffic model:
The "Pressure per rak" model adds up the current and historical hourly passages per rak. Thus, we calculate the traffic intensity per rak, but not the maximum capacity of a rak. The "Busy per rak" model also cannot predict changes in water use. A boating traffic model is developed to map changes such as the increase or decrease of recreational boating and the effect after interventions such as a blockage or a traffic measure.
Considerations
The Digital Canal:
The Digital Canal measures traffic on Amsterdam's inland waterways. The project started in 2019 under the Sailing programme. The Sailing programme falls within the Space and Economy cluster. For the project, sensors have been placed along the inland waterways in the city centre and the main waterways outside the centre of Amsterdam. By deploying these sensors, the municipality is developing a dynamic traffic model and tools for information-driven enforcement. This is done with the help of algorithms. The calculated traffic data is processed and presented in a digital overview (dashboard). The dashboard is accessible to policy advisers, nautical managers and waterway inspectors.
Within the Digital Canal, six algorithms are used: two for traffic monitoring (Pressure per lane and waterway traffic model) and four for information-driven enforcement (Detection of illegal passenger shipping, Reporting speeding passenger shipping, Detection of noise nuisance on the water and Reporting mooring use passenger shipping). Now the fairway traffic model algorithm is described.

- The programme provides a visual representation of traffic flow on roads and intersections. The reality and possible future situation are sketched and simulated based on the inputs. With this computer model, options for road and intersection layouts and traffic arrangements can be compared and thus help with advice and choices.Last change on 23rd of August 2024, at 15:21 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
