Multistate Control Strategy Tool. Clarus Regional Demonstration

Many traffic management events in one jurisdiction can have impacts on neighboring jurisdictions, including increases in traffic congestion or secondary collisions that cross jurisdictional boundaries. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recently tested a Multistate Control Strategy Tool that integrates weather and other traffic information enabling system operators to better manage the transportation network. This tool allows multiple agencies to better coordinate and respond to real-time situations and disseminate safety and other information to people, thereby improving operations and reducing travel frustration.
