摘要：	This paper focuses on the proactive management of freeway facilities to balance the capacity of the transportation system and the prevailing demands, and response to out-of-the-ordinary conditions (e.g., incidents, adverse weather, work zones, special events, and emergency evacuations). This paper will benefit all that are involved with highway traffic operations and freeway management, including; State DOT, tollway and toll authority traffic operations managers, and the people who directly support them. Specifically, this document summarizes the state-of-the-practice in freeway management and operations in order to provide a basis for recommending actions that will address gaps between the state-of-the-practice and state-of-the- art. The paper will help those involved with the operation and management of highways providing them with the opportunity to: - Determine if parts of their system can be considered state-of-the-art or state-of-the-practice. - Develop ideas for what would be needed to move to state-of-the-art or state-of-the-practice. - Develop ideas of activities needed to close the gap between state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice nationally. This white paper is inter-related to, and can be considered a companion document with, the new Freeway Management and Operations Handbook (FMOH). The FMOH is intended to be an introductory manual a resource document that provides an overview of the various institutional and technical issues associated with the planning, design, operation, and management of a freeway network. It is intended to provide the user with a better understanding of the life-cycle considerations for the freeway network (in the context of the overall surface transportation network) and the associated freeway operations and management strategies, including ITS components.
