DTA (Dynamic Transportation Analysis)

Dynamic Transportation Analysis (DTA) is a method used to simulate and study how transportation systems function over time, especially during specific events like rush hours or emergencies. It considers factors such as traffic flow, traveler behavior, and roadway conditions to predict congestion and travel times. Essentially, DTA helps planners and engineers understand how traffic evolves throughout the day, allowing for better infrastructure design and control strategies to improve efficiency and reduce delays. It provides a realistic, time-sensitive view of transportation networks, supporting informed decision-making for long-term planning and real-time traffic management.
