Purpose of Today’s Webinar Provide an overview of a recently-developed implementation and operations guidance which agencies can use to deploy Active Traffic Management (ATM) in their regions. Topics include: Context of ATM implementation and operations and use by agencies. Overview of ATM concepts and strategies. Overview of the critical issues included in the ATM implementation and operations guidance. Experiences from a recent ATM deployment.

Overview of Active Transportation and Demand Management What is Active Management? Goal of the ATDM Concept ATDM Throughout the Trip Chain What does ATDM include? FHWA’s ATDM Program Federal Highway Administration 7 Office of Operations – Transportation Management
What is Active Management? The fundamental concept of taking a dynamic approach to a performance based Active Management process. Federal Highway Administration 8 Office of Operations – Transportation Management
Goal of ATDM Concept Attain the capability to dynamically monitor, control, and influence travel, traffic, and facility demand of the entire transportation system and over a traveler's entire trip chain. Federal Highway Administration 9 Office of Operations – Transportation Management
ATDM Throughout the Trip Chain Origin Destination ATDM approaches provide travelers with choices throughout the trip chain leading to network performance optimization and increased efficiency. Destination Time of Day Mode Route Lane/Facility Choice Choice Choice Choice Use/Choice Key Takeaway: Active management occurs before, during, and at the end of the trip chain. Federal Highway Administration 10 Office of Operations – Transportation Management
What does ATDM include? • Active Demand Management (ADM): A suite of strategies intended to reduce or redistribute travel demand to alternate modes or routes that incentivizes drivers by providing rewards for travelling during off peak hours with less traffic congestion. • Active Traffic Management (ATM): A suite of strategies that actively manage traffic on a facility. • Active Parking Management (APM): A suite of strategies designed to affect the demand on parking capacity. Examples of ATDM Implementation Strategies ADM Comparative multi-modal travel times, dynamic ride-sharing, pricing, and incentive approaches. ATM Dynamic speed limits, dynamic shoulder use, queue warning, dynamic lane assignment, others. APM Parking pricing, real-time parking availability and reservation systems. Federal Highway Administration 11 Office of Operations – Transportation Management
FHWA’s ATDM Program Increase awareness and understanding of ATDM. Develop, test, and evaluate strategies. Provide tools and methods for performance analyses. Provide tools and methods for benefit/cost analyses. Train agencies to deploy effective ATDM systems. Federal Highway Administration 12 Office of Operations – Transportation Management

Project Objectives and Activities Produce a Guide for agencies interested in implementing ATM in their region, as well as for agencies that have implemented ATM and are interested in guidance on operating their ATM systems and strategies. Investigate current and best practices, lessons learned, and future trends. Prepare the ATM Implementation and Operations Guide. Prepare an informational brief to create broad awareness of the ATM Implementation and Operations Guide. Prepare and conduct a national webinar.

ATM Guide Objectives Develop Guide to enable agencies to make informed and sound engineering decisions regarding implementing and operating ATM systems and strategies. Intended for agencies interested in implementing ATM in their region, as well as for agencies that have implemented ATM and are interested in guidance on operating their ATM systems and strategies. Federal Highway Administration 19 Office of Operations – Transportation Management
ATM Guide Objectives Highlight best practices, lessons learned, and case studies as well as guiding principles, resources, key questions, and issues to consider when implementing ATM. The guidelines are not intended to focus on how to plan for ATM deployment, but rather to focus on the next phase of implementing ATM and subsequently operating ATM systems and strategies.
