DESIGN OF A TRAFFIC-RESPONSIVE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A LOS ANGELES FREEWAY
CURRENT RESEARCH ON MODELING FREEWAY TRAFFIC FLOW, ESTIMATION OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FROM PRESENCE-DETECTOR DATA, AND CONTROL OF FREEWAY TRAFFIC IS UTILIZED TO PROVIDE A DESIGN OF A SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A SEGMENT OF THE HOLLYWOOD FREEWAY IN LOS ANGELES. IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE DESIGN, PARTICULARLY THE DESIGN OF TRAFFIC-RESPONSIVE ON-RAMP METERING ALGORITHMS, A SOUND THEORETICAL FOUNDATION WHICH ADEQUATELY ACCOUNTS FOR PRACTICAL CONSTRAINTS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. IN OTHER AREAS, PRELIMINARY IDEAS ARE PRESENTED AND APPROACHES TO OPTIMAL SCHEMES OUTLINED. /DCPL/
