Abstract

This article describes a computer-directed traffic control system which is being designed under the sponsorship of the Bureau of Public Roads. The system is intended to increase the efficiency and safety of the merging maneuver by detecting and tracking gaps in the merging lane of the freeway and by dynamically controlling ramp vehicles into these gaps. Reference is made to the historical development of merging control systems.
