Abstract :
The development of the smart corridor concept of traffic management in Los Angeles is discussed. This concept, which aims to more nearly balance traffic demands with available roadway capacity, involves extensive placement of detectors on the streets and highways to transmit traffic data to the traffic control center so that appropriate traffic management can be implemented. The Santa Monica Freeway Smart Corridor Demonstration project, a multiagency cooperative project that will test various current and advanced technology methods for coordinated traffic management, is described.<>
