Dave has been active in national research activities and is past chair of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Research Advisory Committee. SDDOT's Office of Research addresses a broad range of research topics in transportation design, construction, operations, maintenance, planning, administration, and market research. Mike currently manages projects on Connected Vehicles, Weather Responsive Traffic Management, Integrated Corridor Management (ICM), and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ).ĭave Huft, Research Program Manager and ITS Coordinator, South Dakota DOT (SDDOT)
Michael Waisley has 23 years of transportation engineering and project management experience with Federal, State, and municipal clients in ITS, traffic engineering, traffic operations, transportation policy, transportation planning, and roadway safety. Michael Waisley, Senior Research Scientist Critical Infrastructure Transportation Operations, Battelle Before joining FHWA, he worked as a private sector consultant, providing technical support for various transportation agencies and conducting national research on transportation planning, engineering, infrastructure management, and information systems. Prior to that, he managed the FHWA Office of Asset Management's Data Integration Program. He is the manager of the Office of Operations' WRTM program, a role he has served in for more than 10 years. Roemer Alfelor, PhD, has been with FHWA for almost 15 years. Roemer Alfelor, Weather Responsive Traffic Management Program Manager, Office of Operations, FHWA, Moderator The WRTM applications using mobile data developed in Wyoming, South Dakota, and Michigan will provide information and guidance to other agencies that are interested in implementing similar technologies and systems for traffic operations and maintenance management during adverse weather.ĭr.
This webinar will present three projects the FHWA RWMP is doing with State transportation agencies to improve their mobile data collection approaches, as well as their decision-support capabilities for traffic management and maintenance management when weather affects the roads. These advances significantly improved the agency's ability to inform or warn the travelers of existing and impending weather events, apply traffic control strategies to enhance safety, minimize delay or maximize throughput under adverse weather, and implement appropriate maintenance strategies to eliminate obstruction caused by adverse weather (such as snow or ice on the roads). WRTM includes a variety of advisory, control, and treatment strategies that incorporates both traditional and advanced ITS data collection, processing, and decision-support systems for road weather information.Īdvances in mobile data collection and connected vehicle technologies are now enabling transportation agencies to determine road weather and traffic conditions more precisely on the roads, and in real-time. For the past several years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Road Weather Management Program (RWMP), through its Weather Responsive Traffic Management (WRTM) initiative, has been working with State DOTs and other partners to develop and implement Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies and other advanced traffic management strategies to address current or anticipated weather conditions.
