Filippo Logi, Stephen G. Ritchie, Michael G. McNally · 2000
This paper describes the validation of a new methodology for the deployment of interjurisdictional Advanced Transportation Management and Information Systems (ATMIS) strategies, for responding to non-recurrent degradations in traffic system performance. The methodology employs a multi-agent, real-time knowledge-based system developed under the Caltrans (California Department of Transportation) ATMS Research Program. A simulationbased evaluation analysis is described, that provides quantitative and qualitative measures for the effectiveness of real-time traffic management on combined freeway/arterial networks. The analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach in producing real-time, integrated control solutions that reduce the adverse impact of incidents on circulation, network-wide
