Optimizing the System
AASHTOs goal must be to make the system work better, safer, and smarter, to both save lives and save time for our citizens. There is no single solution to this challenge, there are many, from the rapid clearing of traffic accidents, to advising motorists of traffic tie-ups or weather delays, to improving highway work zones for the safety of both drivers and workers. There is a tremendous amount of technology that can be deployed, and models that can be used. This AASHTO report showcases examples of what is working well in states across the country. There are also exciting opportunities within our reach in the next decade.
