The MMTS/SATC Model's capacity <br /> restraint program continually adjusts the freeway speeds (downward) as <br /> additional traffic is assigned. Freeway speeds slow to the point where <br /> travel by the arterials is faster. The model assigns trips to the <br /> fastest routing timewise, which results in freeway trips being assigned <br /> to arterial streets. <br /> .1 <br /> To determine the effect of the diversion of freeway oriented <br /> I * traffic to the arterials, a "selected link analysis" was run on the SATC <br /> model . An optimum capacity condition was assumed for the freeways. <br /> Such a condition might be achieved by an effective ramp metering <br /> I I <br /> program. The freeways were assigned a speed of 40 miles per hour, a <br /> 92
