FREEWAY SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM USING SIMULATION MODEL

The development is described of the FREQ8PE, a macroscopic traffic flow simulation model, primarily used to aid in making decisions regarding priority entry and normal entry control on a directional freeway. The model can be used to evaluate design improvements with or without freeway entry control. It has been shown that FREQ8PE can be used to evaluate the design of freeway surveillance systems. To illustrate its use, FREQ8PE is applied to the Taiwan Freeway. It is shown that the model may be used to evaluate either an existing or hypothetical freeway surveillance and control system (FSCS). Also, it is reliable and requires short CPU times for its execution.
