Intelligent Transportation Systems: Functional Design for Effective Traffic Management

This book provides practical guidance on designing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that are both efficient and cost-effective.

It covers new chapters on cutting-edge advances in active transportation and demand management, as well as methodologies for reducing recurrent congestion, improving incident clearance time, providing real-time incident information to motorists, and leveraging transportation management center data for lane control.

The author also examines exciting developments in connected vehicle technologies and their potential to greatly improve safety, mobility, and energy efficiency.

This resource is essential for all ITS designers and managers, and will benefit operating agencies performing evaluations to justify operational funding and system expansions.
