SIDRA?An Australian Program for Signalised Intersection Analysis
As more complicated signal phasing systems have been implemented in practice, the analysis methods have moved from a phase-control philosophy applied to approach roads to a group-control...

Estimating Future Traffic Volumes at the Intersection Level
This paper uses the experience gained on a number of regional and sub-area studies in the northeast to illustrate how measured and forecast traffic information can be combined to predict...

Activity Center Development Impact Analysis
A flexible microcomputer spreadsheet analysis method is described for analyzing area-wide and localized impacts of new development in urban or suburban activity centers. The analysis approach...

Spreadsheet-Based Queuing Models
This paper describes how microcomputer-based spreadsheet programs, such as Lotus 1-2-3, can be used to implement queuing models of varying levels of sophistication for use in traffic analyses....

Freeway Analysis Using A Micro Version of FREQ
FREQ8PE is a freeway corridor simulation model. It is a batch processing mainframe program written in ASCII FORTRAN IV, which performs three basic functions: simulate freeway queueing,...

A Decision Support System for Freeway Corridor Analysis
When the scope of a particular corridor study dictates the review and analysis of a relatively large number of road segments along major transportation corridors, the integration of roadway...

Real Time Vehicle Systems Monitoring
The system, which has recently been developed, consists of onboard vehicle micro-processor monitoring, data reduction and transmission components, a VHF or satellite communications link,...
