The study presents statistical characteristics of freeway traffic, extension of continuum models for multilane freeways involving various lane-changing and car-following hypotheses, extension and development of Boltzmann type models for speed distributions on multilane freeways, and a flexible simulation model in modular form to represent freeways of arbitrary configurations and interchanges. The effects of the interface between surface street and freeway are also studied in the form of on- and off-ramp models, estimation of on-ramp flow and prediction and stability of freeway gaps in the vicinity of an on-ramp. Using reduced aerial traffic data from a number of freeways, as well as ground data from the FHWA traffic analyzer, validation studies on theoretical models were conducted. The results of these studies have potentially wide application to the operation and design of freeways.
