The report is concerned with the evaluation of freeway merging control systems from a cost-effectiveness standpoint. The methodology for evaluation of freeway control systems based on a multilevel system design concept is presented and the cost-effectiveness of each of four levels of control is reported. The systems costs and effectiveness of the alternatives were determined for a section of the Gulf Freeway in Houston, Texas currently under surveillance and control. (Author)
