http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nextrans/research/research_in_progress.php
Record Type: UTC

This study will continue to interpret data collected along four freeways in metro Detroit by the Michigan Intelligent Transportation Systems (MITS) Center. Researchers will further their examination of freeway operations to determine how site-specific variables impact accidents and response times. The results will also allow researchers to verify the reliability and accuracy of data collected by traffic detectors for use in future projects.
