Freeway congestion, ramp metering, and tolls

California freeway travelers suffer large and variable congestion delay. The delay is due to operational inefficiency, excess demand, and unforseen events. Operational inefficiency reduces speed and may cause queue spillovers that reduce exiting flows. Excess demand creates delay on ramps. Unforseen events such as accidents temporarily reduce capacity. The Cell Transmission Model of a freeway w...

Ramp Metering and Freeway Bottleneck Capacity

This study aims to determine whether ramp meters increase the capacity of active freeway bottlenecks. The traffic flow characteristics at twenty-seven active bottlenecks in the Twin Cities have been studied for seven weeks without ramp metering and seven weeks with ramp metering. A methodology for systematically identifying active freeway bottlenecks in a metropolitan area is proposed, which re...

Congestion, ramp metering and tolls.

The cell transmission model of a freeway is used to compare four congestion-reducing schemes: (R) ramp control only; (T) one lane is tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; (B) bottlenecks are tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; and (RB) ramps are controlled and bottlenecks are tolled. In the base case, ramps are uncontrolled and there are no tolls. It is found that (T) is inefficient and may leave a...

Quantifying effects of ramp metering on freeway safety.

This study presents a real-time crash prediction model and uses this model to investigate the effect of the local traffic-responsive ramp metering strategy on freeway safety. Safety benefits of ramp metering are quantified in terms of the reduced crash potential estimated by the real-time crash prediction model. Driver responses to ramp metering and the consequent traffic flow changes were obse...

Ramp Metering and the Capacity of Active Freeway Bottlenecks

The objective of this study is to determine whether ramp meters increase the capacity of active freeway bottlenecks, and if they do, how. The traffic flow characteristics at twenty-seven active bottlenecks in the Twin Cities have been studied for seven weeks without ramp metering and seven weeks with ramp metering. A series of hypotheses regarding the relationships between ramp metering and the...
