Book Synopsis Congestion on Virginia's Urban Highways by : E. D. Arnold
Download or read book Congestion on Virginia's Urban Highways written by E. D. Arnold and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion on our nation's highways, most commonly found in urban areas, is a serious problem that is growing steadily worse. While Virginia is predominantly rural, there are few Virginians who have not experienced congestion at some time in their travels throughout the state. The magnitude of this congestion is not known. Accordingly, statewide congestion statistics are needed in order to define and evaluate, the problem and to establish the level of effort needed to solve it. Based on a procedure developed by the Federal Highway Administration using High-Performance Monitoring System data, this report documents statewide recurring congestion on Virginia's interstate roadways. Estimates of nonrecurring congestion, congestion in the year 2000, and congestion on other urban roadways are also provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion on our nation's highways, especially in urban areas, is a serious problem that is growing steadily worse. In Virginia, it is estimated that 28 percent of the daily vehicle miles of travel (VMT) occurring during peak hour traffic is congested (volume/service flow ratio> 0.75). Further, it is estimated that the cost of urban area congestion in Virginia will amount to more than $4 billion in the year 2000. Transportation professionals in Virginia need to be cognizant of and familiar with congestion-reducing measures so as to implement them at every opportunity. Accordingly, this research was conducted to (1) develop a categorical list of congestion- reducing measures, and (2) document the implementation of and experiences with these measures in Virginia. The latter included a subjective evaluation of each measure's effectiveness, cost, and barriers to implementation. The scope was limited to a literature review and a survey of transportation officials in Virginia. Based on the literature, 53 congestion-reducing measures were categorized by whether they manage the existing supply of transportation facilities, add to that supply, manage the existing transportation demand, or control demand growth. Experiences with these measures were documented from the survey of transportation professionals in Virginia. Conclusions were reached regarding the effectiveness, cost, and ease of implementation of individual measures as well as categories of measures.

Book Synopsis Investigation of Solutions to Recurring Congestion on Freeways by : Nicholas J. Mazzenga

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persistent daily congestion, which has been increasing in recent years, is commonly experienced for several hours or more during the morning and evening on Virginia's urban freeways. Many of these roadways are at or near capacity, which causes severe delays and backups. One solution to reducing recurring congestion is to add capacity by building more lanes; however, this is usually the last resort as it is an expensive and time-consuming approach. Another strategy proposed to combat recurring congestion is to manage the current freeways so that they operate more efficiently. Reducing congestion through better managed freeways has numerous documented benefits, including reducing travel times, smoothing the traffic flow, increasing average fuel economy, shortening the rush hour period and reducing vehicle queuing. The highway operational strategies implemented to reduce recurring congestion have shown promising results abroad where there is an extensive use of active traffic management systems. To prove the effectiveness of a better managed freeway in mitigating recurring congestion, this study tested the effectiveness of an active traffic management system on a simulated model of I-66 and I-95 in Northern Virginia. Hard shoulders, variable speed limits, and ramp metering are several active traffic management systems simulated in this study. The simulation model was based on the geometric characteristics, ramp volumes, vehicle flows, and speeds of actual recorded conditions. Compared with the simulated control conditions, the results of the study indicated improvements in average fuel economy, travel delay, delay of the onset of congestion, and reduction of queues. The two active traffic management systems, i.e., variable speed limits and hard shoulders, showed the highest potential for reducing recurring congestion and should be considered as potential countermeasures in congested corridors. Although the capital costs of implementing these strategies would be high, the return on investment in the first year of operations is estimated at $500,000, with the potential to grow to as much as $8 million annually in subsequent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the effects of a new highway facility on the traffic on all roads within its range of impact. The measurement of these direct effects is discussed in relation to traffic assignment procedures and a descriptive classification for various categories of traffic is presented. Various strategies for estimating these secondary traffic changes are reviewed in relation to transportation planning procedures and further quantitative research is recommended.
