Online Traffic Simulation Service for Highway Incident Management

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) Final Report for SHRP 2 Reliability IDEA Project L-15C: Online Traffic Simulation Service for Highway Incident Management describes Relteq Harmony, a decision support system that transportation network operators may use to help determine possible responses to traffic events. The system is designed to help in the evaluation of operational strategies including improved traffic signal timing, freeway ramp metering, variable speed limits, flexible lane assignments, and alternative routing.
