FREESIM: A MICROSCOPIC SIMULATION MODEL OF FREEWAY LANE CLOSURES (ABRIDGMENT)

Development of a model to simulate traffic operations at freeway lane closures is described. The model logic is based on a rational descripion of the behavior of the drivers in a freeway lane-closure situation. The simulation program is written in SIMSCRIPT II.5 programming language. An application of the model is given with evaluation of potential safety impacts of reduced speed zones in freeway lane closures at different levels of assumed driver compliance.
