The Federal Highway Administration Office of Operations will host the National Transportation Operations Coalition (NTOC) web cast, “Active Traffic Management Coming to the Urban Partners’ Cities: Minneapolis and Seattle” on April 30 from 12:30-2:00 PM (ET). This webinar will provide an overview of Active Traffic Management (ATM) and the highlights of the ATM components in the Minneapolis and Seattle Urban Partnership Agreement projects.
ATM is the ability to dynamically manage recurrent and non-recurrent congestion based on prevailing traffic conditions with the focus on trip reliability. It increases throughput and safety through the use of integrated systems with new technology, including the automation of dynamic deployment to optimize performance quickly. This congestion management approach consists of a combination of operational strategies that, when implemented in concert, fully optimize the existing infrastructure and provide measurable benefits to the transportation network and the traveling public.
