• Abstract:
  The main goal of this research is to conduct an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the newly implemented ramp metering strategy on I-12 in the Baton Rouge area. The research objectives of this study are to: 1. Conduct a brief literature review of the most recent research findings on ramp metering applications in other states. This is to identify the successful state-of-the-practice techniques for assessment of ramp metering benefits and their relevance to this research study, 2. Identify the ramp junctions (study area) where ramp metering has already been or will be implemented during the course of the study, 3. Collect traffic data at each of the identified locations over a period of at least three months including periods when ramp metering is turned on and off, 4. Conduct thorough analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of ramp metering on I-12 using the collected traffic data, 5. Develop a statistical analysis model to illustrate the impacts to travel along the I-12 corridor and test different ramp metering strategies that would optimize the metering parameters and maximize performance.
