The study methodology consisted of determining the savings in incident delay and other performance measures before and after the implementation of FSP based on field data and improved analysis procedures. Data were collected during the peak periods on a mile section of the I-880 freeway in the City of Hayward, Alameda County. Software was developed to process the field data and create a computerized database.
