Transportation Systems Management
Transportation Systems Management (TSM) refers to strategies and practices aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of transportation networks. It involves optimizing existing infrastructure, such as roads and public transit, to enhance mobility, reduce congestion, and ensure safety without necessarily building new facilities. TSM can include measures like traffic signal adjustments, better public transit scheduling, carpool promotion, and pedestrian-friendly enhancements. By focusing on operational improvements and smarter use of resources, TSM aims to provide better service to users while minimizing environmental impacts and costs.
