CMS Pro™ - Congestion Management Solution
CMS Pro™ provides an organization with the tools necessary to allow them to properly document the static and dynamic aspects of their transportation system with areas where deficient levels of service conditions exist on constrained roads or other facilities where the feasibility of implementing the needed capacity improvements is uncertain.
CMS Pro™ provides a direct interface to download collected GPS data, and generate strip maps documenting speed statistics and various static elements of a transportation network. CMS Pro™ provides tools to simulate (TSM) Transportation Systems Management and (TDM) Transportation Demand Management activities. These typically include operational improvements such as lengthening or adding turn lanes at intersections and monitoring and adjusting signal timing to improve traffic flow and access management.
Key Benefits and Features:
- Provides a linear representation of the roadway including inset maps pointing the road geometry and thumbnail maps pointing the location of the section in the transportation network
- Ability to create a sign or roadside inventory
- Ability to generate speed statistics maps based on time of day, peak hours, season or year
- Built in internet tools for displaying real-time maps on the web
Available as a standalone application and as an ESRI® Map Objects based integrated GIS solution.
Congestion management systems are required for implementation by MPOs in accordance with Sections 23 and 49, United States Code, for the purpose of identifying solutions to traffic congestion that do not involve adding capacity through roadway expansion. Congestion management systems are intended to identify and implement strategies that provide the most efficient use of existing and future transportation facilities where congestion is occurring or is expected to occur.
In support of these strategies CMS' are also required to provide data on roadway performance (e.g., level of service) to be used when developing the TIP, in accordance with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). The goal of each of these efforts is to identify strategies tailored to improve mobility and to minimize the traffic impacts generated by development within the affected corridors.
