The purpose of this report is to summarize the research activities that were performed during the first year of this research project. In conducting this research, the research team split into several independent groups, each focusing on different aspects of the problem. One group has been focused on using weather and traffic flow conditions as predictors of incident conditions. Their activities are summarized in Chapter II. Other groups have been focused on developing models for producing short-term forecasts of potential congestion, using current measured traffic conditions. The results of these activities are summarized in Chapter III. Finally, the authors are beginning the process of developing a prototype tool that operators can use in a control center to display forecasted conditions. The beginnings of a high-level, functional specification for the tool are provided in Chapter IV.

A challenge for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will be to use a variety of practical, relevant congestion mitigation options in appropriate, collaborative and innovative ways to address current and future congestion problems. To meet this challenge, ADOT has undertaken the development of a comprehensive Congestion Mitigation Methodology for the implementation of a consistent and sustained approach to assess and manage the growing congestion problem on all elements of the state highway system. This effort has resulted in the development of practical strategies to solve Arizona's mobility and congestion problems. A significant step in the development of the Congestion Mitigation Methodology was building a consensus among traffic management stakeholders on effective definitions for congestion and for congestion management. Input on the definitions and state of the practice in congestion mitigation came from a national survey of Metropolitan Planning Organizations and State Departments of Transportation and from a statewide conference on congestion mitigation. The research project has produced recommendations for systematically quantifying congestion on Arizona's highways using a state-specific congestion index, and has also produced a database of available congestion mitigation strategies in Microsoft Access.

This book presents research advances in intelligent transportation and smart cities in detail, mainly focusing on green traffic and urban utility tunnels, presented at the 3rd International Symposium for Intelligent Transportation and Smart City (ITASC) held at Tongji University, Shanghai, on May 19–20, 2017. It discusses a number of hot topics, such as the 2BMW system (Bus, Bike, Metro and Walking), transportation safety and environmental protection, urban utility design and application, as well as the application of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in city design. By connecting the theory and applications of intelligent transportation in smart cities, it enhances traffic efficiency and quality. The book gathers numerous selected papers and lectures, including contributions from respected scholars and the latest engineering advances, to provide guidance to researchers in the field of transportation and urban planning at universities and in related industries. The first conference in the ITASC series started in 2013 as a workshop of The International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized System (ISADS), held in Mexico City, and the second was held in May 2015, in Tongji University, Shanghai.
