Book excerpt: This report documents the work performed and the results obtained on the RHODES - Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) Project. The project addressed the design and development of a real-time traffic adaptive control system for Freeway-Arterial Diamond Interchanges using the concepts underlying the RHODES traffic-adaptive signal control system. The traffic "controls" at a diamond interchange are the two sets of traffic signals located at the arterials, on both sides of the freeway, and the ramp meters at the on-ramps to the freeway. The RHODES-ITMS strategy considers, in real-time, the vehicle arrivals and the queues at the intersections and the on-ramps to optimally set these signals, also in real time, to decrease the overall delay of all the vehicles which use the arterials, the frontage roads parallel to the freeway (if they exist) and the ramps at the interchange
