Title:

Final Summary Report: Information Elements to Support Traffic Management Services

Abstract:

This document presents the summary of an effort undertaken to develop information requirements and cost estimates requirements to support various traffic management services. The services proposed for examination include winter road management. The freeway and arterial classifications were examined separately for both urban and rural applications. Additional differentiators were identified that impact the information needed as well as how the information might be gathered. These differentiators effect each classification by its environment and traffic characteristics, including evacuation route (for hurricanes and floods) and snow/Ice routes.
