Title: COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL STRATEGIES
Accession Number: 00625684
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A growing variety of computer models are being developed for the design of various traffic control strategies. Appropriate tools are needed to compare the performance of new strategies with old ones, as well as to determine which alternative design options work best for any given strategy. In most cases, simulation experiments are used for this purpose; in some cases field tests are also performed. The application of the Gafarian-Halati statistical estimation method for the comparative evaluation of alternative traffic control strategies is described. The method is based on the use of ratio estimation techniques. Such techniques are needed for the analysis of typical simulation model output parameters as well as for the analysis of field test data results. Application of the methodology is illustrated in a special case by comparing alternative arterial traffic signal control strategies.
