| 摘要： | According to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute�s (TTI) �2015 Annual Mobility Scoreboard� and the Baton Rouge Area Capital Region Industry for Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions (CRISIS), the Baton Rouge area has been suffering from severe traffic congestion that threatens the economic development in the area. Baton Rouge is listed as the third worst for moderate- average-sized urban areas in the category of average commuter annual traffic delay. The I-10 Mississippi River Bridge, Highway 70, Highway 22, and Highway 30 are example facilities/locations suffering from severe breakdowns that expand to the surrounding streets and intersections and extend over prolonged periods. Solving such an acute congestion problem is challenging especially that capacity expansion is an expensive solution. For instance, a recent study showed that a new Mississippi bridge could significantly solve the current bridge�s congestion problem; however, such bridge will cost around $1 billion. Thus, other solutions related to Active Traffic Management (ATM) and the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are of a dire need to be investigated. As such, this study aims to perform network analysis to identify the extent of and identify solutions to the congestion problem at the I-10 Mississippi River Bridge. Based on that, the research team will (a) identify potential supply oriented and demand-oriented solutions in each problematic location, and (b) investigate the anticipated benefits from each solution. |
