| Project Title: |
INTEGRATED RAMP METERING/ADAPTIVE SIGNAL CONTROL |
|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Operational Test |
|
| Project Description: | This project will evaluate the operational effects of balancing traffic flow between I-5/I-405 and the parallel arterial streets. The project will also demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative action on the part of transportation management agencies to optimize their strategies to improve traffic flow. The project will integrate an existing centrally-controlled freeway ramp meter system with an arterial signal system consisting of existing signal controllers, the new Advanced Traffic Controller, and an adaptive control algorithm (OPAC). | |
