• Abstract:
  There is an increasing interest by public officials in the use of ramp metering for congestion mitigation at various freeway locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex. DFW is currently in nonattainment for ground-level ozone, and transportation improvements in the area are subject to the transportation conformity process. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in collaboration with the North Central Texas Council of Governments initiated this project to assess if the use of ramp metering can improve operations of congested freeways while improving air quality.
