The objectives of this study were to select a traffic assignment and simulation model, apply that model to an integrated freeway/arterial network such as the Smart Corridor in Los Angeles, California, and, using the model, make an initial evaluation of in-vehicle information systems and the...

The general objective of this project is to evaluate the potential benefits of Advanced Traveler Information Systems and Advanced Traffic Management Systems on the Smart Corridor. This report describes Phase 1 of the project in which the INTEGRATION traffic simulation model is used to help...

As part of the California PATH program, the Paramics microscopic traffic simulation model was evaluated through a pilot application to the I-680 freeway corridor, one of the most highly congested facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. The main objective of the project was to test the...

We report Year 1 results from a two-year project to develop a computer simulation, evaluation and visualization "toolbox", SmartBRT, to describe and evaluate operational aspects of bus rapid transit (BRT) concepts in order to aid decision-making. In conceiving and developing SmartBRT, we have...

This report introduces different coordinated traffic responsive ramp control algorithms, implemented or not-implemented, but based on promising new mathematical techniques. A total of 17 different ramp metering approaches is described. For the already implemented algorithms, the historical...

This report describes a multi-year effort to simulate the Santa Monica Freeway Corridor in Los Angeles using the INTEGRATION computer simulation model, and to investigate the potential benefits of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The simulation process involved a massive data collection...

As part of a project investigating the benefits of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) technology using simulation, two models of the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles were developed. This report describes the work performed to create, test, and apply these simulations. Two independent...

The objective of this study is to collect, organize, analyze, and summarize available detector data for the Santa Monica Freeway. The primary goal is to develop on/off ramp counts as input to a synthetic origin/destination model; mainline freeways counts are also needed. Strategies for...

This document is the final report for the 2001-2002 Berkeley Highway Laboratory (BHL) Project which is a part of the University of California's PATH program and supported by the California Department of Transportation (Catrans). The primary objective of this project has been to maintain,...
