Abstract:This research identified the opportunities to implement ramp management strategies on freeways in Pennsylvania. The research
explored the need to integrate local arterial traffic signal systems with ramp management strategies to reduce the impacts of ramp
management on local roadways. The report recommends a definition of freeway congestion and screening criteria for candidate
ramp management freeways in Pennsylvania. In addition, a case study was performed for the I-376 tunnel bottleneck in the City of
Pittsburgh to identify potential ramp management strategies, their impact on local roadways, mitigation strategies for local traffic
signal systems and the relative benefits and costs of implementing such a project on I-376. Transportation planning and simulation
models were used to evaluate travel pattern changes and measures of performance of the I-376 freeway with ramp management
strategies in place.
