The objective of this research project was to compare ramp metering algorithms and develop guidelines for improving ramp metering operations in Texas. Two products were required for this project: 1) guidelines for improving ramp metering operations and 2) all code developed by the researchers in this project for the simulation testbed. The first product has been incorporated in Chapter 6 of Technical Report 0-4629-1, Ramp Metering Algorithms and Approaches for Texas. The second product is a CD which contains the RAMBO II program (Version 1.1.2). This program is capable of developing metering rates based on freeway-capacity and merge-capacity constraints. Both of these products are available for immediate implementation in locations with freeways where ramp meters exist.
