Improved traffic control by smart algorithms...
Software and algorithms matter and make the difference, in traffic control and management as well as nearly everywhere else these days! ANDATA is an engineering company specialized in the application of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Mining and Simulation in Automotive and Traffic Engineering. ANDATA offers a broad spectrum of “intelligent” algorithms and modular software solutions for traffic and environmental control, identification and forecasting.
Innovations
Traffic Node Control
VERONET
ANDATA provides a series of modular solution packages for traffic control and management under the name VERONET. For traffic node control a totally new interface has been developed, which allows a completely new access to "intelligent" traffic control, for a highly automized evaluation of optimal green and cycle times of any kind of traffic situations and intersection configurations.

VERONET System Rating
If one wants to provide the best possible traffic control actions and measures with an “intelligent” traffic control system, one must also be able to assess the quality of the actions, according to what is better or worse. This is especially true if one expects the best possible functionality and performance.
For the assessment of traffic control systems ANDATA provides a comprehensive simulation and development environment to rate the effectiveness of different traffic control measures...

VERONET Requirements Management
The main difficulties in “intelligent” traffic control are the often unknown and conflicting dependencies in the targets and requirement criteria. For the use of optimized traffic control methods a clear and consistent formulation of the control targets is crucial for the resulting functionality and performance. Inconsistent and conflicting requirements usually lead to significantly increased development and implementation efforts with reduced functionality and performance...
VERONET Virtual Sensors
Not all values for the description of traffic, which are necessary or beneficial for traffic management and control, can be measured directly. For example the capacities and reserves of a traffic line cannot be measured. Virtual or indirect sensors are software functions, which calculate or estimate values that cannot be ascertained from other available sensor data and information.

VERONET Incident Detection
For the prevention of traffic breakdowns it is necessary to identify disruptions and incidents in traffic flows as early as possible, so as to adopt the appropriate counter measures in time. As no incident is the same, sophisticated concepts are necessary to obtain a comprehensive detection of incidents and anomalies with good detection rates. Disruptions can range from faulty sensors, damaged infrastructure as well as unusual traffic flows, special events or accidents and catastrophes...
VERONET Traffic and Pollution Prediction
Amongst other things “intelligent” traffic control needs the proper identification and prediction of the traffic and environmental situation. In this way the right measures can be taken early enough to tackle and control the relevant traffic and environmental situations, and ideally to prevent the development of congestion right from the beginning.
For this ANDATA supplies software modules and prediction models to forecast the expected traffic load and environmental burden...

VERONET Net Control
The “intelligent” traffic control for complete districts or cities and regions needs the coordinated control of many traffic-lights and traffic information systems. This coordination is very complex. The flexible traffic node and line control objects from ANDATA’s traffic solution approach can be compiled with relevant net control objects. This results in completely new possibilities for the coordinated regulation and control of traffic flows in entire traffic zones.

VERONET Line Control
For “intelligent”, sustainable traffic control it is not enough to optimize traffic-lights individually. It is more a matter of coordinating different traffic signal lights with each other, enabling control strategies such as synchronized traffic-lights for “green waves”, the systematic treatment of traffic disruptions or the best way to prevent congestion.

VERONET Node Control
Traffic lights are one of the central measures for the control of traffic flow at intersections and junctions. The best possible control of a traffic node is of great relevance especially in the case of high traffic loads, when already small disruptions or poorly calibrated traffic control systems may lead to serious traffic congestion.
The evaluation of the right control parameters (including turnaround and green phases of a traffic light) for separate junctions can become an extensive task...
