This guidebook provides information on how to create an objectives-driven, performance-based congestion management process. While the focus of this guidebook is on the CMP, the principles of objectives-driven, performance-based planning can also be applied to other aspects of regional concern (sa

The purpose of this document is to develop guidelines for the creation, implementation, and operation of a Virtual TMC. These guidelines identify the recommended processes, procedures, roles, and responsibilities for planning, implementing and operating a Virtual TMC. This report also presents ca

This document is the second of two reports that explore the potential for the use of rural Interstate Highway corridor rights-of-way for the deployment of fiber optic cable and/or wireless communication infrastructure, across multiple States linked by the Interstate Highway system.  The firs

The objective of this handbook is to provide direction, guidance, and recommended practices for test planning, test procedures, and test execution for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of transportation management systems and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) devices.

The purpose of this case study report is to describe how the good work zone planning, design, and management principles of the Rule were applied to two design-build projects, the US 285 Design-Build Project in Colorado and the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project in North Carolina, and how applicati

The Desk Reference contains more than 200 examples of customizable operations objectives that can be incorporated into transportation planning documents.

One-page fact sheets link these sample objectives to performance measures, data needs, M&O strategies, and possible safety impact

A safe, efficient, and reliable regional transportation system requires planning for and investing in strategies to manage and operate the existing multimodal transportation infrastructure. Although management and operations strategies address the causes of at least 60 percent of roadway congesti

New technologies and strategies are enabling transportation and emergency management agencies to work together so they can rapidly respond to emergency events, utilize limited resources in a cost-effective way, and improve safety for the traveling public.

The primary objective of this report is to present the concepts that transportation practitioners can use to:

This primer is focused on designing for operations; i.e., the collaborative and systematic consideration of management and operations during transportation project design and development. Effectively designing for operations involves the development and application of design policies, procedures,
