RES2019-10: Quantify Freeway Safety Service Patrol and Protect the Queue Impact on Transportation Network Reliability

Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) provides a myriad of real-time on-site fast-response and proactive safety services on its Interstate highways. These services require hefty initial capital investment and additional expenses to maintain and keep them operational on annual basis. This project seeks to objectively assess the impacts and benefits of the freeway safety service patrol (FSSR) and protect the queue (PTQ) services through the use of data-driven analyses.
