On optimal freeway ramp control policies for congested trac corridors
This paper examines the conditions for which ramp metering can be bene®cial to the overall system in terms of travel time savings for a simple trac corridor that consists of a freeway and a set of parallel arterials connected by entrance ramps. The focus is on analyzing state and control relationships to arrive at general analytical results regarding optimal metering policies, rather than on e...
متن کاملContinuum Approximation for Congestion Dynamics Along Freeway Corridors
In this paper, congestion dynamics along crowded freeway corridors are modeled as a conservation law with a source term that is continuous in space. The source term represents the net inflow from ramps, postulated here as a location-dependent function of the demand for entering and exiting the corridor. Demands are assumed time-independent, which is appropriate for understanding the onset of co...
متن کاملHOT or Not Driver Elasticity to Price on the MnPASS HOT Lanes
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has added MnPASS High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes on two freeway corridors. While not the first HOT lanes in the country, the MnPASS lanes are the first implementation of road pricing in Minnesota and possess a dynamic pricing schedule. Tolls charged to single occupancy vehicles (SOVs) are adjusted every three minutes according to HOT lane vehic...
متن کاملStatistical Analyses of Freeway Traffic Flows
This paper concerns the exploration of statistical modelling tools for the analysis of observational freeway ow data, and the development of empirical models to capture and predict short-term changes in tra c ow characteristics on sequences of links in a partially detectorised freeway network. A rst set of analyses explores regression models for minute-by-minute tra c ows, taking into account t...
متن کامل1 “ Feasibility of a Metropolitan Truck - only Toll Lane Network :
The movement of commercial vehicles through already congested metropolitan freeway networks is an important policy challenge today for transportation officials, and will become even more important in the future. This paper reports on a study of truck-only toll (TOT) lanes that was conducted in the Atlanta metropolitan region. This study focused on a regional network of TOT lanes with varying le...
