Safety of High-occupancy Vehicle Lanes without Physical Separation
This study addresses safety issues associated with the operation of freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes that are not'separated by physical barriers from adjacent, general-purpose traffic lanes. Accident frequencies and characteristics obtained from 14 months of operation of an HOV lane in the greater Los Angeles area, together with similar data for 6 years' prior to the opening of the la...

at http://trid.trb.org/view/2009/C/881189 From the abstract: This paper describes an empirical research investigation of SOV behavior in the I-394 HOT facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota, known as MnPASS. Using traffic and tolling data from March 2008, the research team conducted a visual time series analysis, price elasticity analysis, and developed a utility-based mode choice model for SOV beh...
متن کاملDeploying Lanes for High Occupancy Vehicles in Urban Areas
Simulations and field experiments in previous works suggest that a freeway’s general purpose lanes (those not dedicated to high occupancy vehicles) discharge vehicles from bottlenecks at an equal or higher average rate when one of the lanes is devoted to high occupancy vehicles than when it is not. This result was used in these previous works to develop formulae for the total discharge rate of ...
متن کاملOptimal Dynamic Pricing Strategies for High- Occupancy/Toll Lanes
This paper proposes a self-learning approach to determine optimal pricing strategies for high-occupancy/toll lane operations. The approach learns recursively motorists’ willingness to pay by mining the loop detector data, and then specifies toll rates to maximize the freeway’s throughput while ensuring a superior travel service to the users of the toll lanes. In determination of the tolls, a mu...
