CONGESTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: EVALUATION ISSUES AND METHODS

Evaluation plays a central part in the development and implementation of Congestion Management Systems (CMS) as required within Transportation Management Areas under ISTEA legislation.

The Rule also states, ..."traditional and nontraditional systems shall be identified and evaluated based on... established performance measures."
