Description:

This report describes and presents the results of a study to develop a system of freeway corridor evaluation and improvement tools to be known by the acronym PASSER IV. This effort resulted in the production of several computer programs implementing its findings. The first stage of this research involved a detailed appraisal of the existing technology for: the evaluation of the effects of changes in the characteristics of facilities in a freeway corridor upon the traffic flow in the corridor; and improving the timing of traffic signals in a freeway corridor such that the total throughout the corridor is enhanced. The study also included close contact with transportation professionals in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio to ensure that the research was directed toward solving problems of importance to practitioners. Procedures and computer programs were developed to quickly analyze urban freeway corridor alternatives. A simple, easy-to-use, progression-based, signal optimization algorithm was developed and implemented as a computer program.
