Principles and Guidance for Presenting Active Traffic Management Information to Drivers
Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies have become more common in the United States
as state departments of transportation grapple with increasing congestion and fewer
dollars available to add capacity to keep pace.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Web-Only Document 286: Principles and Guidance
for Presenting Active
Traffic Management
Information to Drivers
develops and details principles and guidance for presenting
drivers with dynamic information that can be frequently updated based on real-time conditions.
These principles and guidance should improve the effectiveness of ATM strategies, which
include systems to manage congestion, incidents, weather, special events, and work zones.
