Summary:
In this project, the South Jersey highway priority corridor is chosen as the evaluation network. Fromhistorical observations, it is well known that South Jersey highways have already reached high traffic congestion levels. This is especially evident during the morning peak hours due to the demand originating from Camden County destined to the Philadelphia business district. A detailed simulation model of the South Jersey highway network is developed using PARAMICS micro simulation software. Several Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) scenarios, such as vehicle routing using variable message signs and ramp metering, are evaluated. The cost/benefit analysis of these technologies is also performed based on the simulation results.
