The objectives for analysis, modeling, and simulation follow from the scope of the I-210 Pilot. Based on this project scope, the AMS effort focuses on incidents and incident management and aims to:
- Understand key challenges in providing efficient traffic operations along the corridor during incidents
- Demonstrate integrated freeway and arterial simulation capabilities that capture “on the ground” conditions
- Generate corridor-level metrics to characterize operations
- Simulate the effects of incidents and management options that improve operations, using control strategies based on ramp meters, signal lights, and the managed routing of travelers (roads, transit, etc.)
