FREEWAY DATA FOR INCIDENT AND NONINCIDENT CONDITIONS--VOLUME I-TRAFFIC DATA SETS FROM WIDELY SPACED DETECTORS

The results of the project to collect freeway traffic data for use in developing and verifying incident detection algorithms are presented in five volumes. This volume gives a description of the first 200 data sets collected from a 42-mile freeway loop that had magnetic detectors at approximately one-half mile intervals. Included are a description of the freeway system used, classification of the data sets, description of 200 data sets, an overview of an analysis program that will process the data sets, weather conditions and a description of the incident. /FHWA/
