Open full text 9 citations

Abstract

The general objective of the project is to investigate and quantify the likely benefits of implementing various ATMS and ATlS control strategies on the real-life Santa Monica freeway corridor in Los Angeles. The different strategies to be tested in Phase 2 include freeway ramp metering, real-time traffic signal optimization, route guidance systems, and combinations of these strategies. Investigations of different strategies are performed for the same network conditions (portion of the Santa Monica freeway corridor previously coded in Phase 1) and under the same demand level (typical morning peak period). Effects of incidents are to be analyzed. Primary focus at this stage of the study was more on developing and testing the methodologies for modelling various IVHS strategies than on the quantitative simulation results.
