Guide to traffic management part 9: traffic operations
The Austroads Guide to Traffic Management consists of 13 parts and provides a comprehensive coverage of traffic management guidance for practitioners involved in traffic engineering, road design and road safety. Part 9: Traffic Operations is concerned with the day-to-day operations that support the provision of road services to road network users. It introduces the concept of traffic operations as underpinning road user services, covers the major types of services provided and outlines the role of intelligent transport systems (ITS) in delivering these services. Part 9 provides guidance on the configuration and operation of systems, both ITS and manual, supporting traffic operations including network monitoring systems, incident management, traffic signal systems, congestion management, freeway/motorway management systems, traveller information systems and the like. This is the second edition of Part 9 of the Guide to Traffic Management. This edition incorporates a number of changes reflecting the latest practice throughout Australia and New Zealand. It includes enhanced material related to traffic signals, including phasing design, modal treatments, complex situations and an updated example of signal design. This edition also reflects advancements in systems and procedures for traffic control, including ramp metering, lane management systems, variable speed limits and variable message signs.
