An Overview of TMC Practices -- Results from a Nationwide Survey
The goal of this paper is to draw a typology of best practices in TMCs with a focus on current applications and tools in key TMC function areas, and practices in data collection and information sharing. A web-based survey was conducted to collect information from TMCs around the country. Both fact-finding and opinion-seeking questions were included in the questionnaire. This study presents an overview of TMC practices, and provides an opportunity for information exchange and sharing among agencies. It also reveals some agencies' experience as best-practices or innovative applications that could be useful to other agencies and lead to improved performances and services. The survey also provides some perspectives in terms of what applications are yet to receive more attentions, and which technology or data may have the potential to be incorporated in TMC operations.
