INTERCHANGE OPERATIONS: SOFTWARE EVALUATION TECHNIQUES IN USE (WITH DISCUSSION)

The objective of this paper is to review the existing software evaluation techniques for interchange operations analysis, to identify unique issues related to interchanges and their immediate operating environment, and to provide recommendations for future developments. The paper includes the results of a survey of current practice; an overview of the major characteristics that the software should be capable of dealing with (weaving maneuvers, closely-spaced intersections at diamond interchanges and vicinity, spillback, and ramp metering); descriptions of computer models that are available for interchange analysis; a summary of software capabilities; and a list of the desirable features that should be provided, but are currently missing, from existing models.
