Impact of On-Ramp Traffic Flow Arrival Profile on Queue Length at Metered On-Ramps

Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part A: Systems, 145(2), 04018087.

By: G. Yang*, Z. Tian*, Z. Wang*, H. Xu* & R. Yue*

author keywords: Ramp metering; Traffic flow arrive profile; Queue length modeling; Microsimulation
TL;DR: This data shows that at a metered on-ramp, a vehicle queue will be formed in front of the ramp meter when on-Ramp demand exceeds the ramp-metering capacity, and it is therefore important to provide adequate queue capacity. (via Semantic Scholar)
