Berlin, Germany, Summer, 2006 Real-time traffic information with short term prediction capability is a critical requirement for successful traffic management. This requires real-time data combined with algorithms for estimating the current traffic state and forecast scenarios. A fundamental influence on traffic conditions is the effect of traffic incidents and events. In essence, when the available infrastructure changes, (i.e., road closures, etc.) motorists react to those changes. Estimating the effects of incidents and events is a task that assignment methods of traditional transportation planning are designed to handle.

Therefore, it is a tool for incident and event management including the evaluation of their effects and the assessment of various response strategies.
