  • Abstract:
    THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO (1) MEASURE THE IMPACTS FROM INSTALLING THE EXISTING ITS FACILITIES, (2) DETERMINE WHETHER MOTORISTS' EXHIBIT A BIAS TOWARD FREEWAYS, (3) CALCULATE THE IMPACT OF FREEWAY BIAS, (3) IDENTIFY OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES THAT IMPROVE CORRIDOR THROUGHPUT, AND (5) EVALUATE THE REAL-WORLD IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED STRATEGIES. A TWO-PHASE METHODOLOGY OF SIMULATION AND FIELD EVALUATION IS PROPOSED TO MEET PROJECT GOALS. FIRST, A SIMULATION EVALUATION WILL QUANTIFY CURRENT ITS IMPACTS. THIS IS NOT FEASIBLE THROUGH A

    FIELD TEST AS RELEVANT PRE-ITS DATA IS UNAVAILABLE. SIMULATION ALSO PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO ?GAME OUT? AND FINE-TUNE ITS STRATEGIES. PROVIDED THAT IN SIMULATION ITS OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, MDOT, THE ITS JPO, AND MITRETEK SYSTEMS WILL SELECT A SUBSET OF THE STRATEGIES FOR FIELD IMPLEMENTATION. MITRETEK EXPECTS TO GENERATE FIELD-MEASURED IMPACTS BY

    DEPLOYING AND SUBSEQUENTLY MONITORING THE SIMULATION-SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES.
