United States - European Commission Urban Freight Twinning Initiative: Compendium of Project Summaries, Volume II - Overview of 2018-2019 International Urban Freight Roundtables

This compendium provides high-level descriptions of ongoing or recently completed international urban freight initiatives which were shared at the 2018 and 2019 International Urban Freight Roundtables (Roundtables). The Roundtable is an annual event sponsored by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with the European Commission (EC). The roundtables seek to provide stakeholders with new and emerging practices in the management and operations of urban freight fleets to maximize both public and private benefit while minimizing negative externalities that may be associated with urban freight deliveries.

Strengthening Linkages between Transportation Demand Management and Traffic Management

This document presents real-world examples of how State and local traffic managers and demand management professionals can work together and coordinate implementation strategies to proactively manage mobility and reliability concerns under different contexts including: managing demand and traffic during weather events and natural disasters, linking TDM and traffic management as part of transit disruption, incorporating TDM as part of a major road reconstruction project and other high demand situations.

Integrating Reliability into Transportation System Management ndash; New Approaches for Linking Planning amp; Operations

The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) explored and demonstrated the significance of travel time reliability in understanding and enhancing the role of transportation operations in transportation system management. The report, quot;Integrating Reliability into Transportation System Managementquot;, documents a project led by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Operations to integrate consideration and analysis of travel time reliability into the linkage of planning and operations. Its intent was to evolve the state of the practice by building a methodology supported by the travel time reliability data and analysis tools developed under the SHRP2 program. The project was motivated by the need to connect system-level, goal and objective-setting in the transportation planning process and operations planning that occurs among operators. Long-range transportation planning is typically not linked to detailed, tactical operations decisions made at the corridor or network level. A primary objective of this project was to develop and demonstrate a framework or methodology for integrating travel time reliability concepts and analysis in systems management, operations, systems planning, and programming. The project also demonstrated how this framework can be used to connect planning-level reliability goals and objectives to operational objectives and transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) strategies and tactics. The framework will likely be useful in the integration of automation and other emerging technologies into the management and operations of the national roadway network in the context of an increasingly multimodal surface transportation system.

Transportation Management Centers: Streaming Video Sharing and Distribution

Transportation Management Centers: Streaming Video Sharing and Distribution ndash; The purpose of this document is to synthesize current practices and recommendations for transportation management agencies to share live, streaming traffic camera videos with the public, news media, other agencies, and trusted partners. This document aims to assist transportation management center (TMC) staff in planning, implementing, or improving their approach to sharing video feeds.
