摘要
The concept of using graphical route information panel (GRIP) to improve the dynamic traffic management efficiency is becoming increasingly popular recently. Colour-coded level-of-service (LOS) map and route travel time are important information displayed by GRIP. This study addresses the graphical information provision issue and the travel time prediction issue, based on research and development of Shanghai urban freeway GRIPs. It first presents function and location of Shanghai GRIP, philosophy of GRIP panel layout and basic principle of LOS display method. Then it focuses on segmentation of LOS map and proposes three segmentation approaches: the detector-based approach, the ramp-based approach and the hybrid approach. Opinions and lessons learned regarding advantages and disadvantages of different segmentation approaches are given. Next, it proposes a macroscopic traffic flow model-based travel time prediction approach for GRIP. The traffic flow model incorporated in the prediction approach is a validated high-order continuum model. The preliminary performance test of the approach is conducted using real-traffic data of a three-lane urban freeway section of Yan-An elevated road in Shanghai. The results reveal that the travel time prediction approach performs well both under free-flowing conditions and under congested conditions. Last, it gives concluding remarks.
