Innovative Traffic Management Methods

Traffic management operational strategies and methods are fundamental elements agencies use to manage traffic and operate roadways and highways safely and efficiently. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), working in partnership with state partners, has led research for several decades to develop or use new or improved traffic management operational strategies, methods, technologies, and tools. Opportunities exist to research and develop new or enhanced traffic management operational strategies and methods to consider, collect, compile, and use new data sources, computing capabilities (e.g., artificial intelligence), technologies, communications methods, and decision support tools (e.g., automated use of operational strategies). The initial objectives of the Innovative Traffic Management Methods Pooled Fund Study (PFS) are to assemble and partner with state agencies, the Federal Highway Administration, and other countries (e.g., Europe) to: (1) identify research needs and develop a plan or roadmap of future research; (2) coordinate and collaborate with agencies conducting or considering related research; (3) develop, consider, select, initiate, and manage selected PFS projects; and (4) inform industry and potential partners on perspective research plan or roadmap, status of selected projects and PFS activities, and share research results.
