Contribution

It presents a novel formalism, including a graph-based structure, for modeling and analyzing signal exchanges among traffic actors.

Findings

Provides a structured method to analyze traffic signal flow

Demonstrates application of the model in traffic scenarios

Enhances understanding of information exchange in traffic automation

Abstract

If we consider information as the basis of action, it may be of interest to examine the flow and acquisition of information between the actors in traffic. The central question is, which signals an automaton has to receive, decode or send in road traffic in order to act safely and in a conform manner to valid standards. The phenomenon-signal-model is a method to structure the problem, to analyze and to describe this very signal flow. Explaining the basics, structure and application of this method is the aim of this paper. -- Betrachtet man Information als Grundlage des Handelns, so wird es interessant sein, Fluss und Erfassung von Information zwischen den Akteuren des Verkehrsgeschehens zu untersuchen. Die zentrale Frage ist, welche Signale ein Automat im Stra{\ss}enverkehr empfangen, decodieren oder senden muss, um konform zu geltenden Ma{\ss}st\"aben und sicher zu agieren. Das Ph\"anomen-Signal-Modell ist eine Methode, das Problemfeld zu strukturieren, eben diesen Signalfluss zu analysieren und zu beschreiben. Der vorliegende Aufsatz erkl\"art Grundlagen, Aufbau und Anwendung dieser Methode.
