selected_ramp_strategy_type

This data flow is used within the Manage Traffic function and contains the strategy which has been selected for implementation by ramp metering equipment. The strategy may typically be one which either permanently opens or closes the ramp, or enables traffic to join the highway under certain conditions. These would be things such as low congestion on the highway, or situations where additional traffic entering the highway will not increase the level of congestion such that free flow conditions break down. An override will be provided to enable the ramp to be opened if closing it will cause unacceptable congestion to the surrounding surface streets.
