Operations
• Time of day• Set-it and forget it• Will work when there is limited variability
Static Management
• Respond to current conditions• Account for traffic impacts due to
conditions• Reduce time of degraded operation
Responsive Management
• Respond to predicted changes in supply and demand
• Ability to delay or eliminate breakdowns

What does ATDM include?
Active Demand Management (ADM): A suite of strategies intended to dynamically reduce or redistribute travel demand to alternate modes, routes, and/or times of day.
• Examples: Comparative multi-modal travel times, dynamic ride-sharing, pricing and incentives.
Active Traffic Management (ATM): A suite of strategies that actively manage traffic on a facility.
• Examples: Variable speed limits, dynamic shoulder use, dynamic lane control.
Active Parking Management (APM): A suite of strategies designed to affect the demand on parking capacity.
• Examples: Parking pricing, real-time parking availability and reservation systems.

Project Objectives
• Educate current and future implementers of ATDM.• Increase awareness about linkages and synergies.• Investigate the potential impacts, opportunities,
efficiencies, and challenges.• Prepare agencies for deploying and operating ATDM.
• Ultimate end result is to see improvements to existing ATDM operations and deployments.
