Intelligent Transportation Systems. Impact Assessment: Results. Version A.4
The Volpe Center has developed an integrated Framework of traffic models to simulate a number of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services, specifically the user services related to Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS). The Framework includes a regional planning model and traffic simulation models for freeway and signalized arterial streets, as well as modules to estimate the measures of effectiveness described below. The Framework was applied to simulate ATMS user services on a 37 mile north-south corridor, comprising a freeway (I-880) and a major parallel arterial, in Alameda County near San Francisco, CA. The results indicate that operational performance of the corridor is boosted in terms of increased speed and reduced total delay due to services such as dynamic coordination of signals on arterial streets. Additional benefits are seen when ramp metering and arterial signal coordination are simultaneously implemented.
