Abstract

In this study, applying managed lanes strategies to ramps was considered a potentially promising freeway congestion and incident management strategy. To properly assess the potential benefits and impacts of these strategies, an innovative traffic simulation and assignment capability has been researched and developed. The focus of this paper is on the model development and the evaluation of managed lane strategies applied to freeway ramps in a test network under the context of incident and congestion management.The results shed light on the potential applicability of these. This presented research also provides directions for traffic simulation software development to support emerging freeway operations modeling for both planning and operation purposes.
