| Abstract | This document provides a review of the applications of various technologies within traffic management centers in the United States and abroad. Since the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is currently sponsoring several studies in areas such as adaptive traffic control and dynamic traffic assignment, both functions within an advanced TMC, the focus of the state-of-the-practice review for this Project and this report is on automated systems for information processing and decision support. Of particular interest has been the integration of individual systems and the treatment of man/machine interface issues. The review of existing system capabilities is comprised of both a literature review as well as site visits. Results from the site visits are reported in detail in this report. A summary of unique features applicable to an advanced TMC is also contained within this report. |
