| 摘要： | Congestion on urban freeways, which adversely affects the economy, environment, and quality of life, continues to be a major problem in the United States. Minor incidents, such as minor traffic accidents, stalled vehicles, and special events, account for the majority of urban freeway congestion. Due to the problems associated with freeway incidents, many large metropolitan areas have implemented Incident Management Systems (IMS) to alleviate congestion and safety problems associated with incidents. These systems provide motorists with timely and accurate information to avoid incident locations. These systems have been implemented mainly in large urban areas; however, little is known about the possible benefits in smaller urban areas (second-tier cities). This study examined the feasibility of implementing IMS in small/medium size urban areas using a case study of the I-29 corridor in Fargo, North Dakota. The INTEGRATION simulation model was used to estimate the potential benefits of an IMS which employs Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS). The case study analysis revealed that the combination of ATIS and ATMS provided the most favorable network benefits under a 20-minute incident. The IMS reduced incident travel times by 13% (city arterials), 28% (freeways), and 18% (overall network); average trip times were reduced by 20% (overall network); and average speeds increased by 21% (overall network). |
