Priority freeway mainline lanes for HOV's (High Occupancy Vehicles) including carpools, vanpools and buses and freeway ramp metering with and without HOV bypass lanes are among actions which may be considered part of Transportation System Management (TSM) program for metropolitan area. This report presents results of research: (1) to examine, analyze and synthesize experience with these TSM techniques; (2) to determine their relative effectiveness in improving highway efficiency; (3) to identify conditions which is most effective; and (4) to develop a set of measures of effectiveness and planning considerations for evaluation of these traffic management approaches.
