Abstract: A method for automatically determining emission locations of selected emitted substances originating from a selected immission location. In this context, on the basis of input values which relate directly or indirectly to the emitted substances and by using defined rules of a propagation model suitable for determining propagation of the emitted substances, the emitted substances are traced back spatially, with accompanying indication of distribution values. Furthermore, a determining system carries out the determining method, and a traffic control system carries out a traffic control method.

Abstract: A passenger guidance method includes the following steps: receiving a signal that is transmitted by a transmitter and that has an identifier; calculating a position of the transmitter using the signal; and outputting the position information to the transmitter. A passenger guidance method is provided which helps the driver of a motor vehicle find his or her parked motor vehicle. To method includes a step of identifying the transmitter before outputting the position information for that purpose.

Abstract: There is described a method and a device for automatically generating traffic management strategies in the event of suddenly occurring traffic events that lead to a disruption in the flow of traffic. During the method, a database is used in which information concerning elements of the influencing of traffic and control of traffic, which exist in the traffic network, local positions of the elements, switching states that can be adopted by the elements, and immediate effects of the respective switching states upon the traffic is contained in a form that can be processed by a computer program. Based on the incoming data concerning the traffic events or disruptions in the flow of traffic as well as an actual traffic situation, a simulation is automatically carried out with an analysis program, during which dynamics of the spread of the disruption in the traffic network are modeled and one or more new traffic-optimal route allocations with capacity values required therefore are calculated.

Abstract: A system and method for providing local intersection control includes controlling light signal transmitters at an intersection. A traffic condition at an intersection is cyclically detected, a signal program is selected that is matched to the detected traffic condition, and the selected signal program issues switching commands to the light signal transmitter. Characteristic traffic conditions are derived from the detected traffic conditions for the intersection, each characteristic traffic condition is assigned a signal program matched to this traffic condition, a metric is defined as measure for positions of two traffic conditions relative to each other, the characteristic traffic condition that is closest to the actual traffic condition with respect to the metric is determined, and the signal program assigned to the closest characteristic traffic condition is executed for triggering switching commands for the light-signal transmitters. A control device is also included for realizing the method.
