The goal of this study was to provide a better understanding of the impacts of route guidance on urban arterials and networks controlled by traffic signals. Control and timing strategies to handle diverted traffic from the freeways to surface streets were developed and tested through simulation...

This report focuses on the DYNASMART simulation program presents a model that is capable of simulating large urban networks under various Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) and Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) strategies. It includes modules for driver responses to...

This report describes the development of a new model that can monitor system performance and derive management and control strategies in real time. It presents the TMERT (Turning Movement Estimation in Real Time) model, a method of estimating turning movement flows from link detected flows at...

This report documents the current state of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) technologies in Europe with special attention to advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and advanced traffic management systems (ATMS). The views presented in the report are largely derived from...

This report discusses the major factors which influence the benefits from transit priority. It reviews existing control strategies that have been implemented in signal controlled networks. A number of control strategies to improve transit performance are proposed along with an analysis technique...

A systematic evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of a Field Operational Test (FOT) of an integrated corridor-level adaptive control system was attempted from fall 1994 through spring 1999 in the City of Irvine, California. The FOT was conducted by a consortium consisting of the...

This report presents the Conceptual Design Plan for evaluating the effectiveness of the Smart Corridor Demonstration Project. The specific objectives of this report are to: 1) develop a conceptual structure for the Smart Corridor evaluation, 2) define evaluation data requirements and collection...

Traffic responsive control strategies are increasingly being implemented to improve intersection performance. Critical intersection control (CIC) is using real-time traffic data to better assign green times to conflicting movements. However, the benefits of CIC have not been assessed, and...
