Active Traffic Management

Active Traffic Management (ATM) refers to a set of strategies used to optimize road traffic flow and improve safety. It involves real-time monitoring of traffic conditions and the use of technology—like electronic signs, traffic signals, and sensors—to manage congestion and incidents proactively. For example, speed limits may be adjusted based on current traffic and road conditions, or lane usage may be changed dynamically to accommodate heavier traffic. The goal of ATM is to reduce delays, improve travel times, and enhance overall roadway efficiency while ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers.
