Abstract
The assessment of real time control (RTC) potential and the development of RTC systems is supported by a number of guidelines and evaluation tools. For the city of Öhringen in the South of Germany such a simulation-based evaluation has been carried out in preparation of implementation of an RTC system. RTC represents a good example of the application of concepts of “Internet of Things” (IoT), in particular if decentralised controllers are applied. On the way to the IoT world, open platforms that enable web-based simulation without having to install a simulation engine on a local computer can support and simplify the planning and implementation process of RTC systems. This might be of particular benefit for smaller municipalities and consultancies who do not have the necessary simulators available, but need them only on a case-to-case basis. The paper illustrates these concepts for the Öhringen example.
