Simulation-Based Assessment Of Operational Strategies For Visibility-Responsive Variable Speed Limits, Jiyeon Ban Dec 2025

Simulation-Based Assessment Of Operational Strategies For Visibility-Responsive Variable Speed Limits, Jiyeon Ban

Theses

Managing speed limits in adverse weather is crucial for highway safety. Variable Speed Limit systems aim to adjust speed limits according to weather conditions, yet many traffic management centers depend on manual operator judgment. Rapid visibility fluctuations, along with operators handling multiple responsibilities, can cause delays in responding to deteriorating conditions, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. A VSL control strategy is developed using real-time Road Weather Information System data to enable more proactive and effective adjustments. Microsimulation analysis indicates that visibility-responsive VSL operations can reduce conflicts by 59% in fog. Applying VSL only to fog-affected sections yields clear safety …
