The study evaluates lane management strategies along one of the most highly traveled sections of Interstate 81 in the state of Virginia by using the INTEGRATION traffic simulation software. The lane management strategies considered include the separation of heavy-duty trucks from light-duty traffic, the restriction of trucks to specific lanes, and the construction of climbing lanes at strategic locations. Overall, the results demonstrate that a physical separation of heavy-duty trucks from the regular traffic offers the maximum benefits and that restricting trucks from the use of the leftmost lane offers the second-highest benefits in terms of efficiency, energy, and environmental impacts.
