Autobahn GmbH will develop the German motorways into a completely digital, networked, and automated traffic system, so that use of the road infrastructure can be optimized, and the road users can reach their destination safely and in a more environmentally friendly manner. The focus in MERIDIAN is on traffic corridors on the trans-European axes between the major economic and metropolitan regions in Germany (Picture 2). It is precisely on these that high availability and a reliable, efficient motorway network are of the greatest economic importance, with truck parking lot management and event management in the foreground (Picture 1).

Objectives, Results expected, Project description, Implementation schedule
Cross-Border TMPs between Germany and its neighboring Member States and digital traffic management of the 7 strategic corridors in Germany
To establish successful corridor management for Germany, the software-technical basis is crucial. Against this background, the corridor management application was initially developed and successfully put into operation in 2021. As a MERIDIAN implementation this software will be expanded accordingly in the next two years to include the various use cases (truck parking lot management, etc.). (Pictures 3,4,5)
The second important building block for the success of the project is a well-organized and effective handling of the project. The project management contract was awarded in 2022.
Further, this task will also cover the participation of Die Autobahn in the Digital Green Brenner Corridor initiative
