Freeway Operations and High-Occupancy Vehicle Systems 2007

This collection of 15 papers is concerned with freeway operations and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) systems. Specific topics discussed include the following: identifying vulnerable sections of a national road network; breakdown in merging sections of urban expressways; traffic diversion effect of ramp metering; modeling freeway diverging behavior; queue size estimation; the benefits of a systemwide adaptive ramp-metering strategy; the effect of detector spacing and sample size on the accuracy of freeway congestion monitoring; Amber alert messages; open road tolling; freeway bottleneck simulation; real-time screening of freeway traffic data; ramp metering effects on merging operations; safety impacts of a freeway managed-lane strategy; HOV lanes and hybrid vehicles; and simulation analysis of truck-restricted and HOV lanes.
