A cost benefit assessment of a dynamic managed lanes operation

This paper presents the cost-benefit assessment of a managed lanes operation tested on the motorway network of the Paris region. The trial consists of opening the hard shoulder dynamically to traffic so as to increase the capacity of the section during high demand periods. The prime objective of the operation is to reduce traffic congestion created by a serious recurrent bottleneck. The evaluation is based on a before-after study. It describes the impact on traffic efficiency, environment and safety.
