Overview
As part of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) Foundational Research, this ATDM Analysis, Modeling and Simulation (AMS) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) provides the description of the ATDM Analysis Modeling and Simulation (AMS) system that can be used to evaluate the benefits of dynamic management of a transportation system. In particular, the CONOPS Report identifies limitations of current AMS systems, changes required to enhance the system, and a justification of these changes. The report also identifies the AMS needs for a dynamic approach to traffic and demand management and the detailed description of the AMS system. Finally, the report also includes the description of four ATDM analysis packages for the purposes of developing detailed Analysis Plans.
