FREQ simulation and Ramp Meter/HOV Bypass Optimization for the Northwest Study Area

Abstract:

The I-290/Illinois Route 53 corridor in the west and northwest suburban areas of Chicago suffers from heavy congestion throughout and beyond peak travel periods. Traffic management strategies, particularly ramp access strategies prioritizing high occupancy vehicle (HOV) travel, have been recommended as a means of mitigating and even reducing congestion in this corridor. The FREQ model developed by the University of California, in part assisted by the VISSIM modeling tool for bottleneck calibration, was used to determine the effect of implementing HOV priority strategies on entry ramps along the I-290/IL 53 corridor.
