The report is intended to more thoroughly describe the FREQ3CP freeway simulaton and priority ramp control computer program and its application on Interstate Highway 10 West in Houston, Texas. A procedure for obtaining the freeway and ramp traffic operations data (speeds and volumes) is described along with the presentation of the traffic data in its computer program compatible form. The calibrated computer program model of the peak period freeway traffic operations for both the AM inbound and PM outbound directions is obtained when the simulation program results aproximate the field measured traffic data. The background information for the implementation of an economic analysis computer program was collected, updated and structured. Travel time, vehicle operating and accident cost were selected to be implemented along with fuel consumption and pollution emission data for Texas facilities.
