Multimodal Traffic Management between the tulips!

The Keukenhof season of 2025 has just started, which means SYNCHROMODE partners will start implementing the first PoC for Multimodal Traffic Management around Keukenhof.

We will be testing two predictive modules:

  • Longer-term predictions (5 to 1 days ahead) for visitor numbers and associated network delays. These forecasts will support the activation of information campaigns via FlitsMeister and guide the selection of public transport capacity scenarios.
  • Shorter-term predictions (15, 30, and 45 minutes ahead) for travel times on the network. These will inform decision-making for both the route choices of the Keukenhof Express, operated by Qbuzz and the activation of traffic management strategies, as well as local information campaigns via FlitsMeister.

Throughout the season, all relevant stakeholders will have access to two advanced tools provided via the Synchromode project:

  • FlowControl (Be-Mobile): This offers insights into prediction outcomes for the network around Keukenhof alongside the real-time traffic situation.
  • TrafficDash (MAPtm): This delivers real-time and historical information on the traffic network, incidents, bus positions, and active roadworks.

Additionally, MAPtm’s Traffic Management Centre, VCMAP, will use both dashboards to supply stakeholders with daily monitoring of network performance, special events, public transport conditions, and the quality of the predictions. This comprehensive approach enables continuous improvement in operations throughout the season.
