In order that the AHS remains a successful component of a transportation system, daily operations and maintenance issues must be prepared for and strategies developed. This activity area identifies issues that are sometimes overlooked in a major deployment project (e.g., the need to provide staffing, vehicles, funding, and risk, management to ensure daily success of a freeway management system). The operational needs may be associated with daily traffic operations, maintenance, control strategies, communications, and incident management, among others. Factors that drive these needs are costs associated with personnel requirements and system integration. As AHS continue to come on line in field applications, new information will be gathered on which to build the experience of the operational implications of the roadway facility. This data will be disseminated for use in future AHS development and evolution, resulting in expansion of AHS capabilities and features.
