Real-time determination of spare capacity of routes for enhanced management of congested road network: case study: Stage 2 Year 3 2020/2021

This report acts as the final report for Year 3 (Stage 2 Year 2) of the project looking at real-time determination of spare capacity of routes for enhanced management of congested road networks. This report presents the findings from Task 2.5 which signifies calibration and validation of a prototype using a case study developed under Stage 2. The case study area comprised two arterial routes on the Gold Coast. The prototype was able to identify periods of saturated traffic conditions during the peak hours with no identification during off-peak hours as expected. The finding suggests a reasonable accuracy of the prototype to establish saturated traffic conditions in real-time experienced in real-world.
