The study seeks to determine the feasibility of the real-time diversion of traffic in an intercity corridor. Using the 30 mile corridor between Baltimore, MD and Washington, D.C. as a study area, efforts focused on highway operation, incident detection, diversion policy and communication techniques. Because of the general lack of information of diversion signing techniques, a questionnaire study of 6600 motorists using the corridor was undertaken. Motorists preferred signs presenting information on the length of congestion, congestion cause with exit instructions or the availability of suitable alternate routes. It is felt that if the growth in the Baltimore-Washington corridor traffic continues, a real-time diversion program would be warranted in about ten years.
