Abstract

Traffic stream measurements can be used to detect virtually all on-freeway incidents that generate congestion within the first two minutes after the onset of congestion. This approach can readily be incorporated in cooperational dynamic information and control systems. Since the magnitude of the capacity reduction is also known in a format directly interpretable by the process controller, prompt and effective control response in terms of ramp metering control and diversion of freeway demand is feasible.
