Late lab scale demonstration
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Disruptions in public transport cause crowding and delays that propagate across the transport network. This complicates deciding what intervention would be best for the passengers. A Decision Support System (DSS) is developed to help decision makers.
How?
This DSS includes real-time traffic management strategies with forecasting passengers flows using smartcard data. It supports decision makers in how to respond to disruptions, aimed at improving system reliability as experienced by passengers while considering operational constraints.
When?
The project started at the spring of 2016 and will last until 2019. Work is being done on passenger flow analysis and real-time traffic management modelling with The Hague as the Dutch case study.
