Identifying Strategies to Improve Lane Use Management in Indiana

This study will identify road use management strategies that can represent cost-effective options to complement capacity addition to address congestion in Indiana. It will characterize various road use management strategies based on their operational aspects and feasibility requirements. Simulation based analysis will be used to provide guidelines for the use of different strategies based on the characteristics of the relevant corridor. Potential sites in Indiana where these strategies can be implemented in a 5-10 year framework will be identified.
