The Components of Congestion: Delay from Incidents, Special Events, Lane Closures, Weather, Potential Ramp Metering Gain, and Excess Demand
A method is presented to divide the total congestion delay in a freeway section into six components: the delay caused by incidents, special events, lane closures, and adverse weather; the potential reduction in delay at bottlenecks that ideal ramp metering can achieve; and the remaining delay, due mainly to excess demand. The fully automated method involves two steps. First, the components of n...
متن کاملThe Congestion Pie: Delay from Collisions, Potential Ramp Metering Gain, and Excess Demand
A method is presented to divide the measured total congestion in any freeway section into three ‘slices’: (1) the delay that collisions cause; (2) the potential reduction in delay at bottlenecks that ideal ramp metering can achieve; and (3) the remaining delay, due mainly to excess demand, but also to all other causes, including non-collision incidents, lane closures, and weather. The method in...
متن کاملCongestion, 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...
متن کاملFreeway 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...
متن کاملWaiting tolerance: Ramp delay vs. freeway congestion
Waiting at ramp meters and traveling on freeways were tested using a computer administered stated preference (CASP) survey and a virtual experience stated preference (VESP) method employing a driving simulator. The selections varied in the number of minutes waiting at a ramp meter with vehicle speed once on the freeway. The subjects ranked the selections in order of preference. The results were...
