摘要: |
This report is one of two companion reports that identify methods for evaluating the effectiveness of ramp meters on Wisconsin freeways. The other report, 'Evaluation of Ramp Meter Effectiveness for Wisconsin Freeways, A Milwaukee Case Study: Part 2, Travel Times, Speeds and Collisions' has been prepared by Marquette University. This Executive Summary is a description of the procedures, conclusions and recommendations from both reports. The purpose of the research is to determine the benefits of ramp meters in the Milwaukee area freeway system, to determine underlying relationships that permit evaluation of new ramp meters or ramp meter systems elsewhere, and to develop a coherent framework for performing evaluation of ramp meter effectiveness on a whole system. |
