Recent improvements in traffic sensor and data acquisition methods now allow public agencies to expand the capabilities of their transportation management systems by providing a better representation of the network. By having the ability to acquire better traffic data, each agency has information that is more valuable to itself, to the public, and potentially to provide enterprise than similar information of just a few years ago. However, several procedural and institutional questions arise when an agency contemplates undertaking the acquisition and dissemination of traffic information. To determine how other agencies have answered these questions and to provide a practice of traffic information dissemination within the United States by conducting a survey of some of the agencies that are operating traffic management centers and disseminating traffic information. This project also synthesizes the findings.
