The method emulates real-time metering and rigorously traces the interactions between automatic rate-selection metering strategies and freeway performance through time. Given a demand pattern and freeway geometrics, it provides assessment of metering strategies that change continuously at very short time intervals. Further, it explicitly treats time delays that can be caused by hardware or introduced by the traffic engineer.en-USDemand-responsive ramp metering controlCongestionTraffic managementReport
