Invitation to the EURAMP Final Workshop
For further information on the workshop please contact Oliver Ernhofer

EURAMP is a comprehensive, up-to-date, representative, collective European action focused on ramp metering control measures in European motorways in the aim of improving safety and increasing efficiency of traffic flow. EURAMP comprises some of the most knowledgeable and experienced European actors in the area of ramp metering and motorway traffic control, as well as four representative sites.

In this context, the EURAMP Consortium invites you to a
