• Abstract:
  Freeway management systems are used to reduce freeway traffic congestion problems. A major component of freeway management is the inductance loop detector. This research effort evaluates many aspects of inductance loop detectors in freeway management and computerized traffic signal situations to determine the best placement of detectors for computerized traffic control. This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of the eight studies performed under project 1392.
