Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations; Managed Lanes 2008

Overview

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2065 includes 8 papers that explores a new active traffic management approach for metropolitan freeways; an innovative approach to statewide sketch planning for traffic operations in Wisconsin; intermediate access to buffer-separated managed lanes; and dual-system urban interchange design.  This issue of the TRR also examines high-occupancy toll lanes and public transportation; automated vehicle occupancy verification systems; reduction in effective capacities of high-occupancy vehicle lanes related to traffic behavior; and a feedback-based dynamic tolling algorithm for high-occupancy toll lane operations.
