New freeway evaluation system boosts traffic flow and signal timing efficiency.
The report describes the development of a system called PASSER IV to evaluate and improve freeway corridors. The researchers created computer programs to analyze traffic flow and optimize signal timing in urban freeway corridors. They worked closely with transportation professionals in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio to address real-world problems. The study resulted in the development of efficient tools to assess freeway corridor alternatives and improve traffic flow.
