Abstract:Monitoring and managing arterial operations represents a significant problem for many public agencies in the
US. Arterial streets, more numerous and covering much larger road networks than freeways, get less attention
when it comes to deployment of ITS technologies and availability of data that is accurate and reliable enough
to manage traffic in real time. Even when such data are available, the agencies face lack of developed
procedures and strategies on how to handle such data in order to better monitor and manage arterial operations.
The overall goal of this research was to develop a set of strategies for monitoring and managing arterial streets
that would take in consideration idiosyncratic needs, challenges and policies of the public agencies managing
arterials in southeastern Florida. Restrained by lack of resources and time, these agencies (Palm Beach County,
Broward County, and City of Boca Raton) could benefit from FDOT and FAU assistance to improve their
arterial operations. Thus the research presented here describes development of several methods and
applications, which all heavily relay on various levels of available data, to monitor and manage traffic
operations on arterial networks. Considering that ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution does not apply in real-life
problems of Traffic Management Centers, the proposed techniques and applications cover a variety of field
conditions and data specifications and thus they can be applicable to many other agencies in FL and
nationwide.
