Monograph

This issue contains 12 papers concerned with freeway operations, regional systems management and operations, and managed lanes. Specific topics discussed include the following: reliability benefits of ramp metering; nonrecurrent congestion delay; spatiotemporal patters of incidents on urban freeways; travel time reliability; queue estimation using wireless magnetic sensors; clearance time of urban traffic accidents; novel freeway traffic control; validation of regional microscopic mass evacuation traffic simulations; managed lanes use in diverting traffic around an incident; safety benefits of open road tolling; continuous access versus limited access of high-occupancy vehicle facilities; and quantifying the attractiveness of high-occupancy toll lanes.
