Type-C weaving sections, typically located near freeway-freeway interchanges, have high weaving demand volume which leads to severe bottlenecks. Ramp metering (RM) has emerged as a management strategy, and ample research has addressed ramp metering control algorithms. However, the application of RM control algorithms for type-C weaving sections has received limited attention. A modified local RM control strategy, which is specifically designed to improve the traffic conditions within type-C weaving areas, is proposed. ALINEA is used to study the proposed RM strategy at three C-type weaving sections located in Los Angeles, CA. VISSIM simulation results show the modified ALINEA strategy provides a better level of service and can improve the traffic operations within the type-C weaving area. An occupancy value of 30% for the type-C weaving section is recommended.
