This summary presentation summarizes the five key steps to incorporating reliability performance measures into the transportation planning and programming processes
The overall project was to develop the technical procedures for state DOTs and MPOs to fully integrate mobility and reliab
Introduction
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 real-time to achieve operati
The intent of this project is to identify, develop, demonstrate and document measures of effectiveness that can be applied to validate the achievement of traffic signal operations objectives. Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) is an operational strategy that applies tactics aimed at achiev
Best Practice: The San Antonio Wrong Way Driving Initiative
Recently, a state DOT’s inquired about warning signs for motorists driving the wrong way. This has been an issue that many public agencies face. The Texas Department of Transportation had some of the same issues and has taken t
Almost 5 years after hurricanes Katrina and Rita battered Louisiana and Texas, respectively, public officials remain focused on the Nation's ability to safely evacuate large numbers of people. As a part of the Fiscal Year 2010 U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) appropriations (Public Law 111
The primary objective of this research was to identify significant environmental (i.e., weather) variables that may contribute to snow and ice buildup on LED traffic signal lenses. If a subset of variables can be identified that may predict the potential occurrence of snow and/or ice buildup on L
Testing describes a series of processes and procedures developed in the information technology community to verify and validate system performance. While some of the terms used in testing may be unfamiliar to transportation professionals, the core concepts and processes are not technically comple
This tenth edition of Freight Facts and Figures was developed collaboratively by the Federal Highway Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. It provides a snapshot of the volume and value of freight flows in the United States, the physical network over which freight moves, the
This guidebook examines traffic incident management practices that are implemented by transportation management centers on managed lanes. The document examines the unique operating environment of managed lanes from an incident management perspective. The roles of the transportation management cen
Ramp metering is a strategy used to regulate the volume of vehicles entering a freeway at a given time thereby seeking optimal freeway operations. Access to the freeway is controlled using a traffic signal that is powered by an algorithm that uses real-time system traffic data to determine the ra
