Due to the growth of metropolitan areas and tightening of fiscal belts, the need for effective and financially viable freeway management tools is unprecedented. This primer poses ramp metering as a potential tool to address commonly occurring congestion and safety issues. Despite initial oppositi
This guide is intended to introduce you to systems engineering and provide a basic understanding of how it can be applied to planning, designing, and implementing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) projects. The guide leads you step by step through the project life cy
The use of Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) in transportation modeling is an emerging analysis approach around the world. The benefits of applying DTA in transportation analysis increase with network size and level of congestion. This guidebook presents principles and direction that can be consis

Traffic incidents are a major source of congestion in both urban and rural areas. Nationally, roughly 25 percent of total congestion is due to traffic incidents. Further, traffic incidents create unexpected congestion – congestion that occurs in times and places where travelers don’t expect
The document has been developed to serve as a desk reference on integrating demand management into the transportation planning process. The desk reference is organized around two fundamental aspects of transportation planning – policy objectives and scope of the planning effort. The report discus
This report documents several case studies of how agencies used work zone intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to mitigate safety and mobility issues in work zones. The report illustrates how to apply a systems engineering-based decision-making process to designing, selecting, and implementin
This webinar introduced the issues and concerns related to securing three types of ITS technologies and share best practices to help mitigate some of the potential vulnerabilities. The webinar will be hosted by Ray Murphy, ITS Specialist with FHWA Office of Technical Services.
