Transportation Management Plan for A Unique Highway Project

摘要

This paper discusses the development of a Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for a freeway interchange reconstruction project on the I-10/I-15 interchange near Barstow, California. This TMP project is unique because its peak hour of traffic occurs on Friday and Sunday evenings when weekend travelers, many with recreational vehicles, travel between the Los Angeles area and recreation areas in the State of Nevada. The situation is further complicated by the heavy percentage of truck traffic on I-40, which is one of the causes of congestion problems necessitating the itnerchange improvement project.
