TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Delay analysis for freeway corridor surveillance, communication, and control systems JO - Transportation research record A1 - Derr, B. Ray SP - 77 EP - 81 VL - 1132 IS - N2 - A method of estimating the delay savings due to installation of a freeway corridor surveillance, communication, and control (SC&C) system is discussed. Using reasonable assumptions, the model estimates recurrent delay by speed-flow relationships and includes the effects of diversion to the frontage road. The nonrecurrent delay savings is found by using a graphical technique on a plot of time versus cumulative vehicles. The model parameters are easily adjusted for local conditions. The model provides a valuable tool for ranking SC&C projects and obtaining an estimate of their benefits.
