• Abstract:
  This phase of the study has finalized the innovative system for real-time prediction of a detected incident’s duration and its potential traffic impacts on both the subject freeway and its neighboring local streets due to the queues and resulting detouring off-ramp flows. With such information, highway agencies responsible for incident response and traffic management can inform en-route motorists via any advanced traveler information system or public media of the location and time duration over which the freeway segment will be plagued by nonrecurrent congestion queues. Depending on the severity level of the detected incidents and the estimated traffic impacts, responsible traffic agencies can either concurrently or sequentially respond with appropriate strategies.
