Modeling Microscopic Driver Behavior under Variable Speed Limits: A Driving Simulator and Integrated MATLAB-VISSIM Study
Variable speed limits (VSL) are dynamic traffic management systems designed to increase the efficiency and safety of highways. While the macroscopic performance of VSL systems is well explored in the existing literature, there is a need to further understand the microscopic behavior of vehicles …

Evaluating Ramp Metering And Variable Speed Limits To Reduce Crash Potential On Congested Freeways Using Micro-simulation
… mitigation of risk of crashes. Ramp Metering and Variable Speed Limits are two approaches which have the potential of becoming effective implementation strategies for improving the safety conditions on congested freeways. This research evaluates both these strategies in different configurations …

Effects of Road Characteristics, Land Cover, and Topography on Roadkill Patterns Across a Rural-Urban Gradient in Southwest Virginia
… roadkill patterns and several land and road variables, hoping to close a current literature gap by focusing specifically on small and meso-mammals weighing less than 15kg. I recorded the location and species of carcasses found along predetermined routes, including roads with variable speed …

Implementation Strategies For Real-time Traffic Safety Improvements On Urban Freeways
… a crash is detected. Among these strategies are Variable Speed Limit (VSL) and ramp metering. VSL are ITS devices that are commonly used to calm traffic in an attempt to relieve congestion and enhance throughput. With proper use, VSL can be more cost effective than adding more lanes. In addition …
