DEVELOPMENT OF A CONGESTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING GPS TECHNOLOGY. VOLUME I

This report describes the results of a study which demonstrated the feasibility of using Global Positioning System (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS) technologies to measure travel time and speed data on urban highways. The methodology described includes data collection, reduction, and reporting procedures. The methodology was used to obtain travel time and speed data needed for developing congestion management systems (CMSs) in Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and New Orleans.
