Validation of the Incremental Transfer Model

In this report, the authors validate an Incremental Transfer (IT) model, a macroscopic traffic flow model that is capable of handling freeway systems with special lanes and priority vehicles. The model predicts separate versus coalesced queues that result from capacity reduction on the exit ramp. The focus of the validation is to examine the extent to which the queuing pattern observed in the field is captured by the model.
