One of the major activities of this project was the development and evaluation of a ramp metering system on the northbound Lodge Freeway. In order to evaluate completely the effects of the ramp control system, extensive analysis of travel on the arterial streets in the Freeway Corridor had to made in addition to those on the Freeway. These analyses needed a firm statistical base and the measure of effectiveness of operation in the Corridor had to be the same as those on the Freeway. The analysis techniques and statistical models reported herein were developed so that a total systems analysis could be made.
