  • Abstract:
    The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sponsored Project 0-4986, “An Assessment of Frontage Road ; Yield Treatments,” to assess the effectiveness of a wide variety of frontage road–exit ramp and frontage road–U-turn ; yield treatments that exist in Texas. Toward this goal, simulation modeling procedures compensated for the ; impracticability of the data collection effort that would be required to compile every possible combination of ; volume, geometry, and yield treatment types. ; Researchers ran several thousand simulations and generated significant numbers of measures of performance and ; comparative analysis. Researchers, in consultation with TxDOT, sought to develop a database software tool to ; incorporate all the results obtained from the initial research. This will provide TxDOT staff with a more useful tool ; in determining appropriate yield treatments at exit ramp/U-turn and frontage road merge areas. ; This report summarizes the work completed during the extension year, which resulted in the development of the ; Frontage Road Yield Treatment Analysis Tool (FRYTAT). The report briefly summarizes the interaction and ; coordination between the TxDOT panel and the Texas Transportation Institute research team, describes the ; development of the main framework of the tool, and illustrates the final product, FRYTAT.
