Abstract:This technology transfer activity is a natural follow-up of the Southeastern Transportation Research, Innovation, Development and Education Center (STRIDE) project 2013-009S – “Dynamic Traffic Control Interventions for Enhanced Mobility and Economic Competitiveness”. A deliverable of the project was the development of a dynamic version of FREEVAL, the computational engine of freeway facilities in the upcoming Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) update. The FREEVAL-DSS tool (for Dynamic Strategy Selection) enables the user to intervene within a FREEVAL run after each 15 minutes and implement one or more active traffic management (ATM) strategies from a select menu. This report covers two workshops that were held in West Palm Beach, FL and Oakland, CA on Nov 13 2016 and Feb 28 2017 respectively. The workshops were intended to be a mechanism to both receive feedback on the tool, as well as disseminate its capabilities. Five and twelve participants attended the workshops in West Palm Beach FL and Oakland CA respectively. The West Palm Beach FL workshop was conducted in conjunction with the Florida Transpo2016 conference. The Oakland CA workshop was conducted in Kittelson and Associates Inc. Oakland office next to Caltrans, which offered free space and meals for the participants. A modification to the Oakland workshop included additional background material on FREEVAL/Freeway Facilities, which was needed to have the participants understand the contribution of the DSS version. This document includes the workshop presentation slides and workshop evaluation results.
