ENERGY CONSERVATION THROUGH IMPROVEMENT OF FREEWAY OPERATION
The main objective of this research is to develop a prototype version of an integrated simulation/database package. The specific objectives include: 1. development of a framework for an integrated simulation/database package; 2. development of a prototype version of a graphical freeway traffic database management system; 3. enhancement of freeway traffic flow models for various geometric types; 4. preliminary study to develop an optimal calibration procedure for simulation parameters. This report presents the research procedures and findings.
