Track B
Operational Strategies and Network Performance. This track will investigate the innovative approaches agencies are using to actively manage and operate freeways, motorways, and toll roads. This track will highlight the latest strategies, methods (e.g., traffic analysis tools, using emerging sources of data), and approaches for improving the safety and operation of specific lanes (e.g., managed lanes, hard shoulder running, variable speeds or speed harmonization, ramp metering), motorways, or roadway networks impacted by congested traffic, incidents (e.g., crashes), events (e.g., work zones), or emergencies (e.g., severe weather).
