Abstract :
A key objective of the ROMANSE road traffic management project has been the offline development of integrated strategies for information and control of traffic on the road network. Modelling has been used to determine numerous robust strategies for potential incidents occurring within Southampton, UK. The modelling results indicate that, in incident conditions, significant benefits to the road network could be achieved
