Abstract:

The Texas Department of Transportation; San Antonio District, is developing the San Antonio Traffic Management System (TransGuide). TransGuide is envisioned to be the next evolution in control systems in the management of traffic. The initial phase of the Advanced Traffic Management System program is now under construction. This study has identified and implemented alternative algorithms, evaluated the operational effectiveness of the San Antonio ATMS algorithm, evaluated the potential of advanced techniques in improving San Antonio ATMS operations, and recommended operational improvements to the existing system operations. The study has found that the existing San Antonio Incident Detection Algorithm worked well as compared to other algorithms in San Antonio, Texas. However, other algorithms, evaluated in this study, may also have potential with more data available for calibration. This study has also recommended system enhancements.
