Evaluation of ITS based dynamic traffic control and management solutions. Case Study Tehran Motorways

Since travel demand increases at a rate often greater than the addition of road capacity, the situation will continue to deteriorate unless better traffic management strategies are implemented. One of the most attractive remedial measures for addressing the congestion problem is the development of the Intelligent Transportation System. By increase of availability of travel and traffic data thorough digitalization of the societies, the traffic management of the urban areas is required to adopt and go toward dynamic and more effective intelligent traffic management approach to improve the quality life accordingly.
