Book excerpt: Texas cities are currently considering the managed lane concept for major freeway projects. As a new concept of operating freeways in a flexible and possibly dynamic manner, the managed lane concept has a limited experience base, thereby creating a knowledge vacuum in emerging key areas that are critical for effective implementation. . Complicating the effort is the rapid progress of several freeway improvement projects in Texas in which TxDOT is proposing managed lane operations. The operational experience both in Texas and nationally for managed lanes is minimal, particularly for extensive freeway reconstruction projects. The managed lane projects currently in existence involve retrofits of existing freeway sections within highly fixed access, geometric, and operational configurations, and established eligibility considerations. There are few projects in operation from which to draw experiential data on the implementation of managed lane freeway sections with complex or multiple operational strategies, including variations in eligible vehicle user groups by time of day. The objectives of this project are to investigate the complex and interrelated issues surrounding the safe and efficient operation of managed lanes using various operating strategies and to develop a managed lanes manual to help the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) make informed planning, design, and operational decisions when considering these facilities for its jurisdiction. This document presents the critical research results obtained over the five years of this project.

Download or read book Strategies for Interim Use of Managed Lanes written by Jodi L. Carson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although managed lanes will largely function under their intended standard operating procedures, certain conditions (i.e., construction, special events, incidents, or emergencies) may require unusual interim use of the facilities. Because interim managed lane use may detract from the facilities' intended performance, carefully crafted interim use policies should guide these decisions. Given the lack of formal policies or guidelines, variability in observed practices and limited understanding of potential benefits or concerns surrounding interim use of managed lanes (noted through a review of published literature and observed national practice), the objectives of this task were to: (1) discern any positive procedural trends in interim managed lane use that could be recommended for widespread implementation, (2) identify and describe potential benefits and concerns surrounding interim use of managed lanes, and (3) assimilate this information into recommended guidelines addressing all aspects of managed lane facility interim use. This information forms the basis of the recommendations contained in the Managed Lanes Manual developed for TxDOT and FHW A. Following a brief introduction, this report describes motivating conditions and strategies for interim use, general considerations for interim use (i.e., operational and safety effects, public acceptance and perceptions, etc.), and national interim use practice and experience. Based on these findings, recommendations for interim use based on the: (1) severity and nature of conditions; (2) time-of-day, anticipated duration, and traffic impacts; and (3) availability of alternative facilities or strategies are provided. Recommended planning activities and requirements for implementation are also provided.

Book excerpt: "TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2178 contains 19 papers that explore freeway incidents and secondary crashes; a heuristic ramp-metering coordination strategy; estimating freeway traffic density with loop detector and probe vehicle data; cascading incident event durations on urban freeways; queue management for metered freeway on-ramps; modeling accident duration and its mitigation strategies; predicting freeway travel time under incident conditions; freeway sensor spacing and probe vehicle penetration; and freeway traffic speed during breakdown and recovery periods. This issue of the TRR also examines ramp metering in bottlenecks downstream of metered on-ramps; algorithms for systematic tracking of traffic congestion patterns on freeways; impacts of parameters of service patrol operations; estimating traffic incident recovery time; proactive incident management and strategic planning; interoperability for robust interregional transportation system operations; modeling concurrent-flow lanes violations; investigation of single-occupant travelers in high-occupancy vehicle lanes; dynamic toll concept to assess feasibility of high-occupancy vehicle lane; and high-occupancy vehicle lanes to reduce vehicle trips and congestion. ."--pub. desc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2470 consists of 18 papers that explore a comprehensive framework for planning and assessment of traffic incident management programs; evaluation of hero-coordinated ramp metering installation; online scalable approach for identifying secondary crashes; freeway travel time forecasting; real-time queue-end detection on freeways with floating car data; mainstream traffic flow control at sags; design of emergency response system to minimize incident impacts; and estimation of congestion-related travel time losses on freeways. This issue of the TRR also examines combining ramp metering and variable speed limits to improve motorway performance; use of data from point detectors and automatic vehicle identification to compare instantaneous and experienced travel times; identification of congestion factors for active transportation and demand management; potential benefits of integrated corridor management; optimal control of motorways by ramp metering, variable speed limits, and hard-shoulder running; accounting for travel time reliability and trip purpose in an agent-based approach to toll pricing; collection, screening, and evaluation of vehicle occupancy data; the use of psychological questions to help predict managed lane use; value of travel time savings; and highoccupancy toll lanes impact on commuter bus and vanpool occupancy." -- Publisher's description.
