Using microscopic simulation to evaluate potential intelligent transportation system strategies under nonrecurrent congestion Chu, Lianyu ; Liu, Henry X ; Recker, Will
Utgivningsinformation: Transportation Research Record, 2004Beskrivning: nr 1886, s. 76-84Ämnen: Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1886; VTI P8169:2004Location: Abstrakt: A microsimulation method is presented for evaluating the effectiveness of potential intelligent transportation system (ITS) strategies under nonrecurrent congestion. The evaluated ITS strategies include incident management, adaptive ramp metering, traveler information systems, arterial management, and a combination of those strategies. These strategies are implemented and evaluated over a road network in Irvine, California, with the microsimulation model PARAMICS. The evaluation results show that all ITS strategies have positive effects on network performance. Because of the network topology (one major freeway with two parallel arterial streets), real-time traveler information has the greatest benefits among all single ITS strategies. However, a combination of ITS strategies can further increase benefits.| Aktuellt bibliotek | Status | |
