| 摘要： | Dynamic message signs (DMS) are used in conjunction with other media to communicate traffic conditions, general information, and recommended diversion strategies to motorists. Previous studies using loop detector data to estimate diversion rates attributable to advisory messages on DMS have found that diversion is minimal when vague messages are displayed or a distant alternate route is the only option. For motorists traveling on I-95 through Richmond in the Virginia Department of Transportation's Central Region, however, when DMS alert motorists of incidents, I-295 serves as a comparable alternate route, adding no significant travel time to through trips. This scenario provides the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of DMS in traffic diversion without the major concerns of added trip time and the quality of the route. This study investigated the impacts of existing message strategies to determine messages that maximize diversion for specific circumstances and to develop new messages for future deployment. An analysis was done for various message types and split into two diversion scenarios: (1) an incident on the primary freeway, I-95, encourages diversion of I-95 traffic to an alternate route, I-295; and (2) an incident on an intersecting freeway, I-295, encourages exiting I-295 traffic to remain on I-95 as an alternate route. |
