Abstract:Americans lose 3.7 billion hours and 2.3 billion gallons of fuel every year sitting in traffic jams, and nearly 24 percent of non-recurring freeway delay, or about 482 million hours, is attributed to work zones. To combat the country's growing transportation congestion problem, the U.S. Department of Transportation launched the National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America's Transportation Network. One element of this strategy is to promote operational and technological improvements to the transportation system through the use of congestion-reducing technologies such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
