Abstract: Abstract More than ever, traffic congestion is plaguing our heavily populated metropolitan areas. Transportation professionals have recognized that we cannot build our way out of this ever-increasing congestion. The challenge over the next decade is to get more out of the existing transportation system by improving its productivity. To address this challenge, we must evolve into “system managers”: agencies and individuals who manage the system through operational strategies, complemented by targeted expansion investments. The concept of system management has been embraced by many agencies at both state and federal levels. For example, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and most of its stakeholders adopted the concept of the System Management pyramid, as depicted in Fig. 3.1. The foundation of system management is “System Monitoring and Evaluation”. This foundation provides support for a variety of informed investment decisions.
