Study of Traffic Flow on a Restricted Facility. Report II. Summary
In 1971 a project was initiated to study traffic flow through a constricted portion of a freeway. The investigation, in three phases, utilized the northbound tube of the Baltimore Harbor tunnel. The objectives of the project are to increase the tunnel throughout, improve the quality of flow and safety, and to better understand traffic flow theory applied to a restricted facility. A pre-timed traffic signal located between the toll booth and the entrance to the tunnel was used to control traffic during selected evening peak periods. An optimal control policy for operating the signal and selecting the proper cycle length was developed based on the Markov process. Actual data collection and control were limited to late 1973 and early 1974 due to numerous delays in hardware installation.
