Example Application (Ramp Metering and Demand Management) of ATDM Capacity and Operations Analysis

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Operations sponsored a research project to develop new and updated methodologies, data sets, and content for the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) that will better reflect the demand and traffic flow behavior that results from the application of Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) concepts and strategies. The project was completed in June 2013. This brief illustrates the application of the method to travel demand management (TDM) for incident management.
