Traffic Operations
The PATH Traffic Operations Program focuses on advancing state-of-the-art research in traffic management and traveler information systems, and producing results that can be implemented in the real world. Whether integrating new data sources into traditional traffic management systems or developing new technologies to improve traffic flow, PATH’s research continues to advance the tools available to traffic operators and fundamentally change how traffic is managed.
