A system that can determine real-time spare capacity is an important element next generation traffic management of motorways and arterial roads. The long-term objective of the project is to develop such a system. This report covers the first stage of this project and the focus was on an industry review and an examination of design capacity, i.e. what the road theoretically should be able to carry. Case studies were conducted on the application of real-time capacity estimation on a motorway (Centenary Hwy) and arterial road (Samford Rd).
