Abstract	Traffic volumes on Indiana's roadways have increased significantly in the past years. During the period between 1989 and 1993, traffic volumes increased 20.2% on Indiana's urban interstate freeways and expressways, and 13.1% on rural interstates. The increasing traffic volumes have caused congestion and therefore additional costs to highway users. Basically, there are two options to alleviate traffic congestion. The first option is to add new highway lanes and the second one is to use the existing roadways more efficiently. Construction of new higheways has been much limited by the budget and other restrictions. therefore, efficient operation of the existing roadways is often the only practical solution to traffic delay and congestion problems.
