Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to officials of municipal, regional, and statewide transportation and law enforcement agencies who are responsible for roadway incident diversion practices. It will also be of interest to others who interact with these agencies to achieve a better understanding of the processes, barriers, and technologies associated with alternate route plan development and deployment. This report presents state-of-the-practice information about the development and implementation of roadway incident diversion practices. It documents specific trends in the practice, and in examining individual practices, identifies unique plans, processes, and technologies from which other agencies may find useful applications. This TRB report addresses a broad list of topics associated with roadway incident diversion and profiles successful incident diversion practices, as reported by surveyed agencies. In particular, it focuses concern on alternate route plans for random incidents, those resulting in nonrecurring congestion.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased urbanization, population growth, and economic development within the U.S. have led to an increased demand for freight travel to meet the needs of individuals and businesses. Consequently, freight transportation has grown significantly over time and has expanded beyond the capacity of infrastructure, which has caused new challenges in many regions. To maintain quality of life and enhance public safety, more effort must be dedicated to investigating and planning in the area of traffic management and to assessing the impact of trucks on highway systems. Traffic diversion is an effective strategy to reduce the impact of incident-induced congestion, but alternative routes for truck traffic must be carefully selected based on a route’s restrictions on the size and weight of commercial vehicles, route’s operational characteristics, and safety considerations.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freeway incident management has become an important issue in departments of transportation nationwide. With many of the nation's roadways operating very close to capacity under the best of conditions, the need to reduce the impact of incident-related congestion has become critical. One way to achieve this reduction is to improve the management of traffic after an incident has occurred, including the use of traffic diversion strategies. Very often, however, diversion strategies are employed without proper consideration given to the effect of such a strategy on the alternate route, which in many cases is congested prior to the addition of diverted traffic. Careful analysis of diversion strategies, which includes examination of the operational characteristics of both the freeway and alternate routes, can lead to much more efficient and effective strategies. This project establishes a methodology for analyzing diversion strategies using CORSIM, a microscopic simulation model developed by the Federal Highway Administration capable of simultaneously analyzing freeway and arterial roadways. The model process for incident specification and simulation was tested and applied to several case studies. The results of the study show that the model is a valuable tool in analyzing diversion strategies; the critical freeway volume at which diversion becomes advantageous can be determined, as can bottleneck locations on the alternate routes. Signal timing adjustments can be tested and fine-tuned to achieve the ideal maximum flow along the diversion route.

Download or read book Analysis of Large scale Traffic Incidents and en Route Diversions Due to Congestion on Freeways written by Xiaobing Li and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En route traffic diversions have been identified as one of the effective traffic operations strategies in traffic incident management. The employment of such traffic operations will help relieve the congestion, save travel time, as well as reduce energy use and tailpipe emissions. However, little attention has been paid to quantifying the benefits by deploying such traffic operations under large-scale traffic incident-induced congestion on freeways, specifically under the connected vehicle environment. New Connected and Automated Vehicle technology, known as "CAV", has the potential to further increase the benefits by deploying en route traffic diversions. This dissertation research is intended to study the benefits of en route traffic diversion by analyzing large-scale incident-related characteristics, as well as optimizing the signal plans under the diversion framework. The dissertation contributes to the art of traffic incident management by 1) understanding the characteristics of large-scale traffic incidents, and 2) developing a framework under the CAV to study the benefits of en route diversions. Towards the end, 4 studies are linked together for the dissertation. The first study will be focusing on the analysis of the large-scale traffic incidents by using the traffic incident data collected on East Tennessee major roadways. Specifically, incident classification, incident duration prediction, as well as sequential real-time prediction are studied in detail. The second study mainly focuses on truck-involved crashes. By incorporating injury severity information into the incident duration analysis, the second study developed a bivariate analysis framework using a unique dataset created by matching an incident database and a crash database. Then, the third study estimates and evaluates the benefit of deploying the en route traffic diversion strategy under the large-scale traffic incident-induced congestion on freeways by using simulation models and incorporating the analysis outcomes from the other two studies. The last study optimizes the signal timing plans for two intersections, which generates some implications along the arterial corridor under connected vehicles environment to gain more benefits in terms of travel timing savings for the studies network in Knoxville, Tennessee. The implications of the findings (e.g. faster response of agencies to the large-scale incidents reduces the incident duration, penetration of CAVs in the traffic diversion operations further reduces traffic network system delay), as well as the potential applications, will be discussed in this dissertation study.
Download or read book Control Strategies in Response to Freeway Incidents written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New control strategies have been developed for responding to freeway incidents. Two types of incident situations were considered. In Situation 1, control is only needed at on-ramps in the immediate vicinity of the incident site. In Situation 2, control is also needed on freeway segments and connectors located upstream of the freeway segment containing the incident. The strategies were extensively tested under a wide variety of simulated incident conditions. Guidelines on strategy selection and usage in an operational environment have been prepared. Functional requirements have also been developed for an on-line incident control strategy evaluator which could pre-test the merits of several candidate strategies.
