Monograph

This issue contains 20 papers on the subjects of freeway operations, regional systems management and operations, and managed lanes. Specific topics discussed include the following: freeway ramp controls; travel time reliability and nonrecurrent congestion; the diverge bottleneck; lane changes; automatic detection of freeway incidents; queue estimation algorithm; the active management screening tool for congestion management; temporary hard shoulder running; large-scale incidents on urban freeways; managed motorways; accident response time; deploying freeway incident response units; route guidance; integrated corridor management; major freeway closure for repair; variable bridge tolls; I-394 MnPASS express lanes performance; traffic flow modeling on managed lane facility; cross-weave impact on freeways with managed lanes; and traffic characteristics of high-occupancy vehicle facilities.
