摘要
This study uses regression analysis to evaluate long-run traffic management system performance. Three important traffic management systems in the Twin Cities metro area-Ramp Metering, Variable Message Signs, and Freeway Service Patrols (the Highway Helper Program) were evaluated using multiple regression models to predict link speed and incident rate. W e find that ramp meters increase freeway link speed and reduce incident rate. Freeway Service Patrols increase link speed when incidents are present. The results for variable message signs are ambiguous. Regression analysis can be a simple and effective research method for testing the macroscopic association between traffic management and traffic system performance.
