Abstract

BTS can be used to evaluate a variety of changes in highway design to improve bottlenecks, such as: (1) addition of highway lanes, (2) addition of automated or HOV lanes, or (3) incident management strategies to reduce the frequency, duration and magnitude of incidents. BTS can also be used to project future highway conditions as baselevel traffic grows or driver behavior changes. The new version of BTS was enhanced to include incident dependencies, variable weather conditions, reneging, and randomly varying traffic volumes. As of yet, BTS is not capable of analyzing highway performance on a network basis. However, even in large networks delays are often dominated by a few key bottlenecks. BTS can be used to study the performance of these key locations.
