Peak Hour System Analysis on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Management of Recreational Traffic on Maryland's Eastern Shore

摘要

This work included the collection of an extensive data base on network and traveller characteristics, the development of real-time flow prediction models using Box-Jenkins techniques, and the development of a simulation model to optimize traffic assignment and evaluate various capacity expansion and traffic management strategies. Major findings were that sufficient capacity is available on alternate routes to bypass the bottlenecks at Vienna and Cambridge, and that travellers, through a mail-back survey, professed sufficient willingness to use alternate routes and departure times to justify proposed traffic management efforts. The work is documented in five technical reports whose abstracts are indicated in Appendix A.
