<p> The McMaster Incident Detection Algorithm <MacAlg> automatically
detects incidents en the Burlington Skyway for the Burlington Freeway
Traffic Managment System <FTXS>. This paper describes the calibration,
testing and evaluation of functions of northbound stations 1 through 6.
The testing and evaluation of the two weekly data sets is illustrated
and discussed. Some of the resulting functions are recommended to the
Burlingtion FTNS to evaluate how well the MacAlg detects incidents.
This research compliments the work: of Persaud, Hall and Hall (1989), who
are developing and testing the logic of the MacAlg. The results of
this paper contribute information to the further development and testing
of the MacAlg's logic. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
