The latest national traffic signal assessment conducted by the National Transportation Operations Coalition (NTOC), a group of transportation associations, shows that gradual but steady progress is being made on the management and operation of traffic signals despite continued funding challe

 The U.S. Department of Transportation and its member agencies have pursued a research and development agenda, the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Program, designed to integrate the latest in information technologies to improve the safety, mobility, and reliability of surface transpo

This Executive serves as a companion to the AASHTO Transportation Asset Management Guide—A Focus on Implementation. The AASHTO Transportation Asset Management Guide—A Focus on Implementation is focused on implementing transportation asset management (TAM). These documents s

Active management of transportation and demand can include multiple approaches spanning demand management, traffic management, parking management, and efficient utilization of other transportation modes and assets. This informational brief provides an introduction to the concept of active tr

Active Transportation and Demand Managment (ATDM) is the dynamic management, control, and influence of travel demand, traffic demand, and traffic flow of transportation facilities. Through the use of available tools and assets, traffic flow is managed and traveler behavior is influenced in realti
