摘要: Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) based lane management technologies were introduced to work zones in an attempt reduce congestions and diminish queue lengths. Two forms of merging namely the early merge late designed advise drivers on definite locations. This study suggests two Simplified Dynamic Lane Merging Systems (SDLMS) (early merge) supplement current Florida maintenance traffic (MOT) plans. Data was collected I-95, for three different plan treatments. The first treatment standard MOT employed by Department (FDOT). second SDLMS, third SDLMS. Results showed that maximum discharge rate (or capacity) zone significantly higher SDLMS compared conventional FDOT increased capacity; however, this increase not statistically significant. Moreover, results highest lowest which some are complying messages displayed system.
