Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to state and local traffic engineers, transportation planners, transit operators, law enforcement officials, public information agencies, and others responsible for the transportation elements of freeway corridors. Information is provided on the policies and procedures for freeway corridor management, and descriptions of a number of techniques and practices are presented. Traffic growth and increasing congestion on urban freeways require a comprehensive approach toward managing the complex elements of freeway operations. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on freeway corridor management strategies, the components of management, examples of effective applications of the strategies, and benefits of freeway corridor management. The management techniques that are discussed include freeway surveillance and control; corridor street surveillance and control; high-occupancy vehicle facilities and incentives; police enforcement and traffic control; hazardous material and other truck traffic restrictions; alternative route planning; motorist assistance patrols; motorist information techniques; and traffic management for recurrent congestion, for incidents, for special events, and for work zones.

Book Description
This study focuses on traffic congestion, primarily that occurring on freeway corridors in metropolitan areas. Lack of coordination in the operation of various components of the system is often a major source of inefficiency, resulting in greater delays to motorists than what might be achievable with the existing physical infrastructure. The main objective of the study is to improve corridor network management by coordinating the various control elements in a freeway corridor, for both recurrent and nonrecurrent congestion situations.

Development of Freeway Operational Strategies with IRIS-in-loop Simulation

Book Description
This research produced several important tools that are essential in managing and operating freeway corridors. First, a computer-based off-line process was developed to automatically estimate a set of traffic measures for a given freeway corridor using the historical detector data. Secondly, a prototype on-line estimation procedure was designed to calculate selected traffic measures in real time to assist operators in identifying abnormal traffic patterns. Third, the IRIS-in-loop simulation system was developed by linking IRIS, the freeway control system developed by MnDOT, to a microscopic simulation software through a data communication module, so that new operational strategies can be directly coded into IRIS and evaluated under the realistic simulation environment. Finally, two new freeway operational strategies, variable speed limit control and a density-based adaptive ramp metering strategy, were developed and evaluated with the IRSI-in-Loop simulation system.
