Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) Implementation
Description
This project will implement Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) strategies to dynamically manage, control and influence travel demand and traffic flows through key regional corridors. ATDM strategies can include ramp metering, hard shoulder running, dynamic lane use control, and variable speed limits. Use of these strategies would be done to achieve operational objectives, such as improving safety, reducing emissions, and maximizing system efficiency. TMC operators continuously monitor traffic conditions through CCTV and other ITS field equipment to detect when systems should be implemented. Using archived data and or/predictive methods, actions can also be performed in real–time to achieve or maintain system performance.
