This research evaluated issues relating to stopped or very slow traffic on freeways due to congestion. Two products were required for this project: (1) selection strategy flow chart version 1 and (2) guidelines for the implementation of advance warning techniques for stopped traffic. Both products are incorporated in Chapter 4 of technical report 0-4413-2, Advance Warning of Stopped Traffic on Freeways: Field Studies of Congestion Warning Signs. Many factors remain to be addressed in future research; however, observations conducted in this project can provide guidance to those testing and implementing operating systems for advance warning of slow/stopped traffic on freeways.
