Abstract

As part of a Highway Planning and Research project two types of segmentwide traffic-responsive freeway entry control strategies were developed: extended local traffic-responsive control and extended pretimed traffic-responsive control. These strategies were evaluated on a macroscopic dynamic freeway corridor simulation model by using 3 days of traffic data from the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles. Extended local traffic-responsive control had a consistent advantage over extended pretimed trafficresponsive control. Based on the evaluation the extended local traffic-responsive control strategy has been selected for further evaluation and future field implementation on a segment of the Santa Monica Freeway. The development and evaluation of the segmentwide traffic-responsive control strategies are described. A brief description of implementation plans is also included.
