Traffic Bottlenecks: Challenges and Reduction Strategies

ISBN: 9781620812266 出版年：2012 页码：184 Alex L Sloan Connie F Dorsey Nova Science

Much of recurring congestion is due to physical bottlenecks - potentially correctable points on the highway system where traffic flow is restricted. While many of the nation's bottlenecks can only be addressed through costly major construction projects or costly transportation alternative solutions (i.e., high occupancy vehicle or toll lanes, dynamic pricing, investments in transit alternatives, etc.), there is significant opportunity for the application of operational and low-cost "fixes" at spot-specific locations. This book provides guidance to state and local transportation personnel on how to overcome barriers and challenges with reference to the implementation of localized congestion relief projects.
