I-66 Active Traffic Management
Active Traffic Management (ATM) is the method of managing traffic to ensure smooth and accident free transit on busy major highways. There is an Active Traffic Management System in process of implementation on I-66 through Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William counties from the Washington, DC line to Route 29 in Gainesville. While reducing the number of primary and secondary crashes is the primary goal of this project, it is also heavily committed towards ensuring a better driving experience for people commuting through this route.
The ATM is a system that takes in a number of human and technical inputs and produces output in terms of efficient and safe commute on the I-66. It fits the 30 elements of Systems Engineering as discusses in Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management by Howards Eisner and was presented for Systems Engineering class, Fall 2013, the George Washington University, Washington, D.C., USA
