This chapter covers a traffic management system (TMS), one of the most important components of modern intelligent transport system (ITS). It starts with the definition of the TMS, followed by a depiction of different traffic environments on which TMS operates. Although ITS involve multiple transport modes, the chapter focuses on roads. It presents a traffic management framework. This framework can be structured as involving inputs, data analysis and outputs. Several inputs sources could be used: traffic counters, tolling systems, flow meters, weather stations, CCTV and nomadic devices, among others. The core where all is coordinated is the traffic management centre (TMC), a real time management component of a much wider and longer running process. TMS is the platform that provides access to inputs, results of analysis and allows sending outputs/actions. Finally, the chapter overviews two opposite architectures commonly used for TMS platforms, both client‐server based: event based and data‐store.
