| 摘要： | This symposium presentation describes the Central Artery Project in Boston. The Central Artery is the portion of the I-93 highway that cuts through the middle of the city, separating the waterfront area from the financial district. Planning for the Central Artery tunnel project began in the 1960s. The total cost of the project is estimated at $8 billion. The design for the Central Artery Tunnel is very complex. The ventilation system for the tunnel includes over 130 fans and eight ventilation buildings. The entire underground highway system will be managed by an operations control center that is triply redundant to ensure that backup power and other functions will be available in the case of an emergency. A traffic simulator, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been extremely helpful in testing different approaches to traffic management. Many Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies are being incorporated into the project. |
