Freeway and Arterial Management Effort in Washington State
نویسنده
چکیده
T raffic congestion and personal mom bility preservation are the most challenging issues facing transportation professionals. From Phoenix to San Francisco to Washington, D. C., citizens are identifying transportation as their number one concern,’ outweighing issues such as pollution, overpopulation, unemployment, and crime. In the state of Washington, particularly in the greater Seattle area, congestion is likewise a major concern. In order to address the mobility problems facing the urban areas of Washington, the state initiated a new transportation research and implementation program in October 1987. The program is called Freeway and Arterial Management Effort (FAME). The focus of the program is to find implementable solutions to immediate mobility problems.

Traffic Condition Detection in Freeway by using Autocorrelation of Density and Flow
Traffic conditions vary over time, and therefore, traffic behavior should be modeled as a stochastic process. In this study, a probabilistic approach utilizing Autocorrelation is proposed to model the stochastic variation of traffic conditions, and subsequently, predict the traffic conditions. Using autocorrelation of the time series samples of density and flow which are collected from segments...

متن کاملDevelopment of an Advanced Loop Event Data Analyzer (ALEDA) System for Dual-Loop Detector Malfunction Detection and Investigation
Dual-loop detector systems are widely deployed in Washington State freeway networks to collect traffic data. The Traffic Systems Management Center (TSMC) aggregates traffic volume, occupancy, speed, and length data from dual-loop detectors into 20-second intervals and stores them to save storage space of archived data and preserve the data format compatible with the control system algorithms of...

متن کاملA Generalized Integrated Corridor Diversion Control Model for Freeway Incident Management
This paper presents a generalized diversion control model for freeway incident management that is capable of concurrently optimizing the detour rates and arterial signal timings over multiple roadway corridor segments between the freeway and its neighboring arterial. To capture various operational complexities due to the interactions between multiple diversions, this study has extended the mode...
