DETECTION PLACEMENT FOR ADVANCED TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIES IN ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

This paper discusses the detection placement concepts that will be necessary for the advanced traffic control strategies being implemented as part of Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) projects. The success (or failure) of any control system is dependent on accurate and representative data collection. The placement and usage of detectors for advanced traffic control strategies are critical because of the many applications that must be satisfied, regardless of the detector technology that is applied. Detectors can be used for vehicle counting stations, freeways, ramp metering, local actuated intersection control, and signal system detectors.
