Traffic Management Systems
The state of the art in transportation engineering has advanced dramatically over the last decade, and the application of new and more flexible traffic control devices, software systems, computer hardware, communications and surveillance technologies, and analysis methods has become commonplace. Many metropolitan areas have created traffic management centers (TMC) with closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, traffic and weather sensors, electronic variable message signs (VMS), traffic signals, and ramp meters to monitor and manage traffic flow on streets and freeways. And as information is received at the
TMC, travelers are informed of problems via radio, television, the Internet, and VMS along the roadways.
