MnDOT Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Implementation Strategies Reference

Overview

The MnDOT Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Implementation Strategies Reference is composed of the following strategy descriptions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strategy #1: Update Signal Timing and Coordination

Strategy #2: Increase MnDOT Usage of 3rd Party Data and Increase Sharing with Traveler Information Disseminators (e.g. Google, WAZE, INRIX, HERE)

Strategy #3: Develop Regional Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Programs

Strategy #4: Implement Low-Cost / High-Benefit Capital Improvements (CMSP)

Strategy #5: Coordinate Work Zones Across Jurisdictions and Routes

Strategy #6: Expand Snow Fence Use through Research and Increased Use

Strategy #7: Expand the Coverage of Freeway and Expressway Traffic Management Systems

Strategy #8: Develop Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Strategies for Work Zones

Strategy #9 Utilize Intelligent Work Zone Systems Where Appropriate

Strategy #10: Expand the Use of Ramp Metering

Strategy #11: Expand Use of Technology at Weigh Stations for Enforcement

Strategy #12: Increase TSMO Asset Life Cycle Understanding and Management

Strategy #13: Implement Signal Timing Updates for Construction Projects

Strategy #14: Provide Traveler Information on Alternative Modes and Routes

Strategy #15: Expand and Enhance the Deployment of Road Weather Information Systems

Strategy #16: Expand Consideration of Innovative Intersection Technology or Design (e.g. RICWS, roundabouts, RCIs, diverging diamonds, etc.)

Strategy #17: Expand Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Use to Include Standard Weather Messages
