The Reality Operations Today

The Reality: Operations Today

Surface transportation systems are made up of several independent networks

o Freeways, bus/rail transit, arterials, etc.y , , ,

• Most efforts to reduce congestion have focused on optimization of individual networks

o Agency/facility/mode – specific ITS systems & strategies

• Minimal cross-network management in response to increased demand / reduction in demand
