Concurrent Flow Lanes – Phase III

This report describes efforts taken to develop and calibrate VISSIM models of existing concurrent flow lane designs along I-270 and portions of I-495. It also presents details of VISSIM models developed to replicate a proposed design alternative involving electronic toll lanes along a portion of I-270, as well as analysis of the alternative.
