Simulation Analysis of Route Diversion Strategies for Freeway Incident Management
Author: Catherine Ann Cragg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : CORSIM (Computer file)
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Freeway incident management has become an important issue in departments of transportation nationwide. With many of the nation's roadways operating very close to capacity under the best of conditions, the need to reduce the impact of incident-related congestion has become critical. One way to achieve this reduction is to improve the management of traffic after an incident has occurred, including the use of traffic diversion strategies. Very often, however, diversion strategies are employed without proper consideration given to the effect of such a strategy on the alternate route, which in many cases is congested prior to the addition of diverted traffic. Careful analysis of diversion strategies, which includes examination of the operational characteristics of both the freeway and alternate routes, can lead to much more efficient and effective strategies. This project establishes a methodology for analyzing diversion strategies using CORSIM, a microscopic simulation model developed by the Federal Highway Administration capable of simultaneously analyzing freeway and arterial roadways. The model process for incident specification and simulation was tested and applied to several case studies. The results of the study show that the model is a valuable tool in analyzing diversion strategies; the critical freeway volume at which diversion becomes advantageous can be determined, as can bottleneck locations on the alternate routes. Signal timing adjustments can be tested and fine-tuned to achieve the ideal maximum flow along the diversion route.

Roadway Incident Diversion Practices
Author: Walter M. Dunn
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309068598
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
This synthesis report will be of interest to officials of municipal, regional, and statewide transportation and law enforcement agencies who are responsible for roadway incident diversion practices. It will also be of interest to others who interact with these agencies to achieve a better understanding of the processes, barriers, and technologies associated with alternate route plan development and deployment. This report presents state-of-the-practice information about the development and implementation of roadway incident diversion practices. It documents specific trends in the practice, and in examining individual practices, identifies unique plans, processes, and technologies from which other agencies may find useful applications. This TRB report addresses a broad list of topics associated with roadway incident diversion and profiles successful incident diversion practices, as reported by surveyed agencies. In particular, it focuses concern on alternate route plans for random incidents, those resulting in nonrecurring congestion.
