Previous edition 1988

The guidelines for integrated network design ( RIN for short ) are a technical set of rules valid in Germany and are intended to address the objectives of spatial planning and state planning for the accessibility of central locations and to derive the functional structure of the transport networks from the central local structure. The objectives for the development of the transport systems are to be based on a uniform spatial planning approach at the level of the conceptual transport network design. In this way, a coordinated transport network development should be achieved. They are published by the Research Association for Roads and Transportation . The 2008 edition is currently valid; it replaces the guidelines for road network design from 1988.

content

In terms of content, the RIN is divided into five sections and two annexes. The first section deals with introductory thoughts for the directive. The second section deals with principles for network design. The third section explains the functional structure of the transport networks and defines the meaning of the connection, connection function levels and category groups. Subsequently, in the fourth section, an evaluation of the connection-related offer quality takes place. The fifth section names quality specifications for the design of transport networks, network sections and connection points.

The appendix contains information on how to carry out the functional breakdown using the linear networks as well as information on how to determine and evaluate the quality of the offer in various quality levels.

Explanations

In the guideline, a distinction is made between the two connection meanings, the connection function level and the category of traffic routes .

There are six groups for the connection function:

  • 0 - continental - connection between metropolitan areas
  • I - large-scale - connection from regional centers to metropolitan regions and between regional centers
  • II - supraregional - connection of medium-sized centers to regional centers and between medium-sized centers
  • III - regional - connection of basic centers to intermediate centers and between basic centers
  • IV - nahräumig - connection of communities to parts of communities
  • V - small-scale - connection of properties to communities / parts of communities

The category groups are divided into five sub-areas:

  • AS - motorways - outside and inside built-up areas,
  • LS - country roads - outside built-up areas,
  • VS - cultivation-free main roads - in the apron and within built-up areas, cultivation-free, main road,
  • HS - built-on main roads - within built-up areas, built-on, main road,
  • ES - access roads - within built-up areas, cultivated, access road.

Special regulations for Berlin

Since the RIN was designed for territorial states and not for a large city like Berlin, a different system of connection function levels applies in Berlin:

  • 0 - continental - connection between metropolitan areas
  • I - spacious - connection between regional centers as well as the historical center and City West
  • II - superordinate - connection of district main and special middle centers, feeder roads to functional level I, development of large-scale traffic junctions
  • III - local - connection between the other medium-sized and sub-centers or districts, feeder to functional level II, development of regional transport hubs
  • IV - supplementary road - connection and development of residential, commercial and industrial areas, roads with public transport
