This study models and simulates vehicle behaviors based on large-scale traffic-incident congestion and the availability of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The study examines how well detours can help truck and passenger vehicle drivers avoid unexpected congestion and associated delay costs. En-route diversions could also decrease seco

Federal and state transportation agencies set goals related to surface transportation system performance. The variability in factors influencing design criteria (e.g., driver performance, road conditions, and vehicle performance) is often large and is addressed implicitly by using “conservative” values. However, a risk-and-reliability-based analysi
