Abstract
Highway agencies are confronting a difficult challenge in maintaining and improving mobility. Congestion, delay, and unreliability are increasing on urban highways. But mitigating these problems through increasing capacity is no longer viable in many cases, owing to resource and environmental constraints. If the mission of improving mobility and systems performance is to be taken seriously, managing the existing system to its fullest effectiveness becomes the central strategy.
