Talking Operations Webcast on March 20, 2012: Active Traffic Management (ATM) and Weather
Posted: 3/1/2012

Some agencies are implementing Active Traffic Management technologies to manage recurring and non-recurring traffic demand. Strategies under this category are varied and include, among others, variable speed limits, active warning systems, lane control systems and hard shoulder. However, the application of such techniques during weather events is still quite limited. Weather poses both a challenge and opportunity for the use of ATM. This webinar will focus on the role of ATM during weather events, summarize a recently developed Concept of Operations for ATM and weather, and describe recent applications and deployments in this area.
