The objective of the research was to investigate the technical feasibility of employing freeway surveillance and control techniques to facilitate bus rapid transit operations. In the evaluation of the technical feasibility of the System, designated the Bus-Freeway System, preliminary designs and cost estimates were prepared for four existing freeways. The study sites selected for this purpose were: John Lodge Freeway, Detroit; Gulf Freeway, Houston; Route 1-35W (South), Minneapolis; Penn-Lincoln Parkway (East), Pittsburgh. These locations represent a wide range in topography, freeway design, and traffic operations. (Author)
