Queuing Time Instead of Queue Length (VSS2001/301)
Overview
Background & policy context:
The project identified two areas for further research. The first involved the processing and review of existing storage theory and their implementation in practice, the second included the field trials and the study of the effects of traffic information.
Objectives:
Main goals of the project were:
To determine the impact and benefits of traffic information storage time instead queue length; to develop guidelines for the determination of traffic jams; and to determine the criteria for the application of this traffic information.
Methodology:
The study had to be limited to two field trials, both of which had a high proportion of urban transport. In these field trials it was possible to bypass the traffic jam driving on surrounding roads.
From the field trials comprehensive data were generated, so that an in-depth evaluation and analysis was possible. The findings provided a basis for the introduction of traffic in line-up on high-performance roads.
