IMPLEMENTATION OF A REAL-TIME INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM IN A FREEWAY/ARTERIAL CORRIDOR

This paper presents the status of the California Advanced Research Testbed (CART) research implementation program. The discussion first describes the establishment of data communication links between the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Advanced Testbed Laboratories and the Testbed field implementation sites including the City of Irvine and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 12 Traffic Management Centers. This is followed by a review of the Irvine federal Field Operational Test (FOT) implementation technologies including MIST, OPAC, SWARM, and the Caltrans D12 Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) occurring simultaneously with testbed research implementation. The final section discusses the Testbed Real-time Integrated Control and Evaluation Prototype System (TRICEPS) which is designed for use with the real-world data to be received from the data links to the traffic networks in the Testbed area.
