Comparing a Bottleneck Identification Tool with the Congested Traffic Pattern Recognition System Asda/foto Using Archived Freeway Data from Portland, Oregon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bottlenecks are key features of any freeway system and represent the emerging location for recurrent and non-recurrent traffic congestion. In Oregon, a freeway data archive known as PORTAL records volume, occupancy, and speed measurements from over 600 freeway locations every 20 seconds. This archive has enabled development of online freeway performance and reliability analysis tools. This paper describes a comparison of an automated tool for identifying recurrent freeway bottlenecks, using historical data within the framework of the data archive, with the ASDA/FOTO models based on Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory as an approach for traffic data processing. Both approaches use graphical tools to illustrate the occurrence of bottlenecks with congested patterns. Ultimately the results of this joint research will improve the prioritization of improvements and implementation of operational strategies on the freeway network, especially in cases of congested bottlenecks.

متن کاملA Model and Case Study of the Impacts of Stochastic Capacity on Freeway Traffic Flow Benefits and Costs
When freeway traffic flow approaches capacity, minor disturbances or perturbations can cause unstable traffic streams to break down into queued or bottleneck conditions with the accompanying heavy congestion costs. As the traffic volume at which flow breaks down is uncertain, this research utilizes a stochastic capacity model to estimate congestion costs in terms of delays, fuel, and emissions....
