1.1 Active Traffic Management/Dynamic Lane Management Concept Development
Description
Concept development in preparation for implementation of an Active Traffic Management solution on the southern section of Interstate 435 to manage traffic congestion in AM/PM peak periods. Active traffic management (ATM) is the ability to dynamically manage recurrent and non-recurrent congestion based on prevailing and predicted traffic conditions. Focusing on trip reliability, it maximizes the effectiveness and efficiency of the facility. It increases throughput and safety through the use of integrated systems with new technology to optimize performance. ATM implementations focus on influencing travel behavior with respect to lane/facility choices and operations. ATM strategies can be deployed singularly to address a specific need such as the utilizing adaptive ramp metering to control traffic flow or can be combined to meet system-wide needs of congestion management, traveler information, and safety resulting in synergistic performance gains.
Conduct feasibility study and concept development of ATM implementation on I-435. The scope of work will include:
- Feasibility Study
- Concept of Operations Development
- High-Level Requirements Definition
- Recommendations Report
