This is the final report for Phase 1 of the project 'Modeling for Real-Time Traffic Control in the Rhode Island Intelligent Road (RIIR).' To support the RIIR a traffic flow model needed to be developed that could be used to design and evaluate control strategies. The objectives of this project were (1) to support the RIIR project by developing a traffic flow model of the RIIR that can be used to design and evaluate real-time traffic control schemes, and (2) to increase the awareness and interest of engineering students in transportation issues and transportation engineering. The proposed project was a three-year project. In the first year (Phase 1), the principal investigator developed a suitable model applicable to the existing road network and the existing traffic control schemes.
