Abstract:

Studies of urban traffic operations were conducted on the freeways of Texas to determine the design and effectiveness of traffic control and surveillance systems; to relieve peak period congestion; to lessen the impact of disabled vehicles on the operation and safety of the freeways; and reduce the incidents of overhead structure damage by over-height vehicles. The research study uses demonstration installations to test the implementation requirements as well as to evaluate the operational theory.
