Abstract This document is the third such handbook for freeway management and operations. It is intended to be an introductory manual – a resource document that provides an overview of the various institutional and technical issues associated with the planning, design, implementation, operation, and management of a freeway network. The goal is to provide the user with a better understanding the wide variety of potential strategies, tools, and technologies that may be used to support management and operation of the freeway network. The Handbook addresses the major changes in technology (e.g., ITS and architectures) that have occurred since the last Freeway Handbook was prepared. It also considers a broader view as well, including freeway management in the context of the entire surface transportation network, lane management concepts, roadway improvements (both geometric and operational), performance monitoring and associated measures, established processes for dealing with the risks associated with technology – intensive systems, and the role of freeway management during emergencies and evacuations. Specific chapters include Introduction (background on the freeway network, definitions, congestion, safety, mobility), freeway management and the surface transportation network (the various interdependencies during the facility’s life –cycle, freeway management programs, performance monitoring and evaluation, roadway improvements, roadway operational improvements (e.g., signs and markings), ramp management, lane management, HOV facilities, traffic incident management, planned special event management, freeway management during emergencies and evacuations, information dissemination, transportation management centers, surveillance and detection, regional integration, and communications. 17.

Strategies have evolved, techniques have been developed, and new technologies (ITS) have emerged. Traffic operation centers have reported successes and failures as lessons learned. The intelligent transportation community has quickly incorporated those lessons, and the resultant systems have progressed with each new generation of the freeway traffic management system. The profession’s view of freeway management and operations has also changed. Freeway management strategies and concepts were initially developed to counter congestion. That is still a major goal, along with enhance safety. But freeway practitioners are also beginning to view themselves as good stewards and responsible managers, managing not only the traffic flow on the network but also the being more proactive in addressing potential problems, rather than merely reactive. Moreover, part of this stewardship includes managing the elements of the network itself (e.g., asset management), not just the traffic flow. Another important consideration in this regard is that transportation is becoming increasingly customer-driven, with a need to view the network at more of a regional scale. This expanded view of freeway operations and management is reflected in the key and recurring themes in this Handbook, including: • Even though their primary responsibility may be the freeway network, practitioners must not address freeway management and operations in a singular, isolated manner. Accordingly, freeway managers must view the overall performance of the transportation network as a whole, and consider a vast array of potential actions to improve its performance. This may mean looking beyond the “typical” freeway management and operation alternatives and technologies. • Freeway management and operations extends beyond ITS and electronic systems. Freeway managers must be familiar with all of the tools available to improve the safety and efficiency of the freeway system, including major roadway improvements, minor roadway improvements, and traditional traffic control devices (such as, static signing, pavement marking, and illumination systems); and look for appropriate opportunities to utilize these tools. • Several processes have been instituted for developing transportation programs, planning and prioritizing potential improvements, and defining individual projects and strategies. Freeway management and operations should be an integral part of the established processes within an agency. Moreover, the freeway management practitioner must be cognizant of and, to the greatest extent possible (commensurate with his/her responsibilities), participate in these processes ensuring that freeway management and operations receives appropriate consideration. ii Freeway Management & Operations Handbook Forward REVISION HISTORY The Freeway Management and Operations Handbook was developed in September 2003, and has since been updated to reflect current state of the practice.

The fiberized crackfilling consists of cleaning and sealing of any cracks, voids or joints two inches in width or less with asphalt cement reinforced by polypropylene fibers. Map exhibits are provided in the contract showing the street and parking lot locations to be addressed this year. Crackfilling is a very cost-effective preventative maintenance technique and is performed routinely to keep water and debris from getting into the pavement. In addition, crackfill helps keep the roadway in safe condition by interrupting the propagation of cracking, potholes and other distresses in the roadway. The project is expected to start in early May and will be completed by June 25, 2021. Background The total budget for the annual crackfill program is $200,000. Estimated quantities are based on the number of streets areas that are currently in need of crackfilling maintenance and the severity of asphalt cracking. The sole funding source for the project is: • Street Maintenance MFT, 18-47-6471 ($200,000) Proposals Bids were opened on February 18, 2021 with the following results: 1. Denler, Inc.

P. SHEN Department of Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University, San Diego, California (Manuscript received 18 March 2019, in final form 3 January 2020) ABSTRACT Since the mid-2000s, the Argo oceanographic observational network has provided near-real-time four- dimensional data for the global ocean for the first time in history. Internet (i.e., the ‘‘web’’) applications that handle the more than two million Argo profiles of ocean temperature, salinity, and pressure are an active area of development. This paper introduces a new and efficient interactive Argo data visualization and delivery web application named Argovis that is built on a classic three-tier design consisting of a front end, back end, and database. Together these components allow users to navigate 4D data on a world map of Argo floats, with the option to select a custom region, depth range, and time period. Argovis’s back end sends data to users in a simple format, and the front end quickly renders web-quality figures.

Sperry Award is given in recognition of the distinguished engineering contribution, which through application, has proved itself in actual service, and has advanced the art of transportation whether by land, sea, air, or space. In the words of Edmondo Quattrocchi, sculptor of the Elmer A. Sperry Medal: “This Sperry Medal symbolizes the struggle of man’s mind against the forces of nature. The horse represents the primitive state of uncontrolled power. This, as suggested by the clouds and celestial fragments, is essentially the same in all the elements. The Gyroscope, superimposed on these, represents the bringing of this power under control for man’s purposes.” Presentation of The Elmer A.

No. 3133 A CBO STUDY Using Pricing to Reduce Traffic Congestion March 2009 The Congress of the United States O Congressional Budget Office Preface Congestion costs highway users billions of dollars every year. Although policymakers have adopted a variety of strategies for reducing or mitigating congestion, relatively little attention has been paid to policies to promote more efficient use of the highway system. One such pol- icy is congestion pricing, under which drivers are charged a higher price for use of a highway at times or places with heavy traffic and a lower price in the opposite circumstances. This study—prepared at the request of the Chairman of the House Committee on the Bud- get—explains how congestion pricing works, reviews the best available evidence on projects that make use of such pricing in order to assess the benefits and challenges of the approach, and discusses federal policy options for encouraging congestion pricing. In keeping with the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO’s) mandate to provide objective, impartial analysis, this study makes no recommendations. Scott Dennis of CBO’s Microeconomic Studies Division wrote the study, with research assistance from Jacob Kuipers and under the supervision of Joseph Kile and David Moore.

However, contraflow lane reversal deployed in several cities are designed for specific traffic patterns at specific hours, and do not adapt to fluctuations in actual traffic. Motivated by recent advances in autonomous Fig. 1. An illustration of contraflow lane reversal (cars are driving on vehicle technology, we propose a framework for dynamic lane the right side of the road). The total capacity of the road is increased by reversal in which the lane directionality is updated quickly and approximately 50% by reversing the directionality of a middle lane. automatically in response to instantaneous traffic conditions recorded by traffic sensors. We analyze the conditions under systems, more aggressive contraflow lane reversal strategies which dynamic lane reversal is effective and propose an integer can be implemented to improve traffic flow of a city without linear programming formulation and a bi-level programming increasing the amount of land dedicated to transportation. formulation to compute the optimal lane reversal configuration An important component of implementing dynamic lane that maximizes the traffic flow.
