Abstract

The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies have created a need for fast and elaborated freeway models that can be applicable on-line for incident management, as well as for other applications such as work zone traffic control. This paper describes extensions to the higher order continuum model of freeway traffic to incorporate lane drops. The model can handle a lane change maneuver in the vicinity of lane drops. A preliminary study indicates a potential for improvement of the freeway performance on the approaches to work zones by controlling the lane change pattern using DO NOT PASS signs. (A)
