Tasks 1 through 3 of this project examined previous literature, state‐of‐the‐art technology and future trends, and expert opinion concerning the dissemination of travel time reliability information. Based on the results of these tasks, the project team formulated a focused set of paths
Traveler information can be acquired by travelers today through a number of media. These media range from traditional roadside signage and broadcast media to newer electronic wireless and web‐based media. The resulting mix of traffic and transportation system status data has
The human factors studies planned for Tasks 6‐10 were presented and approved by the panel in June 2010. They consisted of focus groups and a usability study. As conceived at that time, the usability study would employ computer‐based multiple choice testing of terminolo
The TTI research team conducted nine telephone interviews in February 2010. The purpose of the interviews was to gather information regarding the state‐of‐the‐practice of disseminating travel time reliability information. TTI researchers conducted interviews with experts in
Tasks 1 through 3 of this project examined previous literature, state‐of‐the‐art technology and future trends, and expert opinion concerning the dissemination of travel time reliability information. Based on the results of these tasks, the project team formulated a focused set of paths
This presentation provides an overview of the history and purpose of the IDEA programs. The main purpose of these programs is to foster innovation in transportation through start-up funding and support for promising concepts.
In September 2010, the TRB’s Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) program and the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) jointly awarded Weris with the SHRP 2 L15(A) project “Provide Origin-to-Destination Travel Time Reliability Information on Google Map”. The purpose of this
The initial IDEA proposal described the development of a mobile application to assist in management and communications during large events, such as events hosted at the National Mall. The concept was coined PRISM for PRoximity Information System for Mobility during special events. The PRISM team
Incidents are estimated to cause somewhere between 52% and 58% of total delay experienced by motorists in all urban area population groups, according to the 2010 Urban Mobility Report. The delay estimates differ depending on where and what data are collected, and how delay caused by incidents is
This project explores the use of commercially available consumer GPS data in travel reliability studies. Travel time reliability concerned in this study has two dimensions. The first dimension is the probability of completing a trip within a given time budget, the so-called on-time arrival probab
The draft editorial below gives you a framework to use for writing your own article for your local daily or weekly newspaper. It can also serve as a framework for public remarks. It is written as an educational editorial that can easily for tailored to resonate with your audience. Its purpose is
"Transportation Systems Management and Operations Talking Points" are for a nontransportation professional to use with a nontransportation audience. To create messages for peer-to-peer communication or a transportation decision maker, please refer to the Business Case Primer (see Related Artifact
This document is intended to be used by speakers who are preparing to deliver the PowerPoint presentation to state DOT CEOs, chief engineers, and/or members of the state DOT CEOs’ executive teams. The presentation is designed to be delivered within a 30-minute period and highlight not just the im
This Guidebook provides step-by-step procedures for designing and conducting empirically based (i.e., “observational”) before/after studies for operations strategies. While the focus is on operational strategies, the same procedures may be applied to any highway congestion mitigation strategies,
Advances in technology and a better understanding of traffic congestion demonstrate the potential for Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O) solutions to make the most of existing roadway infrastructure to minimize delay and reduce congestion.
New technologies and innovative approaches to keep traffic moving. Learn about effective transportation solutions and how your choices can make a difference.

The "Persuasive SO&M Case Study Briefing Book for decision makers" gap filling project was designed to provide compelling examples from state and regional experience that supports the benefits of SO&M in terms directly relevant to decision makers . The material presented in this document
This guide has been developed to help proponents of TSM&O communicate effectively about why TSM&O is an important part of the DOT mission. The emphasis here is on “effectively.” Defining “communication” is straight-forward: it is a message developed by one individual or group (the promote
Therefore, the purpose of Gap Filling Project 2: Deployment Guidance for Transportation Systems Management and Operations Strategies is to provide guidance to practitioners in short-term deployment planning. The project team interviewed agencies to identify the methods that they had developed to
The purpose of this Guidebook is to provide guidance on valuing travel time reliability. Some information is currently available in this emerging area. However, more‐comprehensive research is needed. Until that research has been completed, this Guidebook will provide an interim resource document
This project developed Best Practices for TSMO Program and Budget Development by presenting case studies of successful operations and management programs at State DOTs. This work focuses on summarizing TSMO programs that have effectively mainstreamed TSMO practices and presents State TSMO program
This presentation has been created to address transportation operations at a high level that is relevant to most, if not all, state DOTs. The presenter should interject personal anecdotes and local examples as appropriate, particularly for topics for which the descriptions provided in this presen
This presentation covers the topic "Transportation Systems Management and Operations: Technology Solutions and Active Management". This template is designed for implementers of TSMO strategies.
This presentation template covers the topic of "Transportation Systems Management and Operations: Why It Matters." Key points include: (a) typically, transportation agencies have focused on building the underlying transportation infrastructure—or adding more capacity, (b) congestion is an acce
