Abstract:This study reviews the practices on the emerging role of major activity center transportation organizations in enhancing activity center and regional transportation. A survey of the major activity centers in the United States was performed with respect to their role and activities in the operation of transportation systems serving the area. The survey indicated limited involvement of activity center transportation management organizations in traffic operations, primarily due to budgetary limitations. Three strategies were identified in this study for possible use by these organizations and a feasibility analysis was performed for each strategy. Feasibility analysis of the connected-vehicle parking management application indicated that it could be a successful strategy, where existing field deployments could be leveraged. The feasibility analysis of the tested predictive analytics based proactive traffic management strategy showed that this approach would need significant additional development before any field implementation. Feasibility analysis of the Do-Not-Block-the-Box Campaign strategy showed the most encouraging ready-to-deploy results. The nationwide survey indicated positive perceived results from the implementation of the strategy. An objective evaluation using a VISSIM simulation approach demonstrated that Do-Not-Block-the-Box Campaigns can provide improvements in mobility.
