Abstract:Traffic management systems (TMSs) and their centers are critical resources that offer agencies the potential to improve the safety and mobility of travel on the surface transportation system. TMSs also assist agencies in fulfilling the ever-increasing transportation needs of travelers (e.g., travel times), service providers (e.g., transit and emergency services), other agencies, and the public (e.g., incidents). TMSs provide agencies with various functions (e.g., monitoring traffic conditions, analyzing collected data, and disseminating traveler information) and operational strategies. Agencies continue to be challenged with improving performance; expanding the geographical area served; expanding or enhancing services; and providing the funding and staffing to actively manage, operate, and maintain their TMSs. Agencies may consider a range of issues, opportunities, and possible improvements when planning to enhance an existing TMS or prepare for the next generation of their TMS. Agencies preparing for the next generation of their TMS may also need to consider assessing feasibility; initiating and conducting planning; or pursuing development, implementation, and transition efforts.
