FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Transportation agencies are implementing traffic management strategies to improve mobility and safety on freeways. Ramp metering is a traffic management strategy deployed to mitigate congestion on freeways using traffic signals installed at entrance ramps to control and regulate vehicle entry onto the freeway mainline. Estimating the mobility benefits of ramp metering is critical to determine the strategy's effectiveness and inform the decision-making process regarding its deployment.
However, the extent of the impact of ramp metering on recurrent congestion varies across studies. Among the reasons for the inconsistencies are the limitations of conventional methods for evaluating benefits, including the before-and-after approach, …
