Term Definition Source
Arrival time The time at which a traveler would arrive after a trip. Kuhn et al. 2014
Arterial A roadway that serves major centers of metropolitan areas or rural areas to provide mobility that is not access controlled. FHWA 2013
Average travel time An average of all travel times calculated over a specified time interval for a specified trip or roadway segment. The period of time over which the average is calculated is not consistent within the profession. Kuhn et al. 2014
Average work zone delay The extra travel time during work zone activities (compared to operation without a work zone). Mallela and Sadasivam 2011
Buffer index A multiplier that represents the extra time or time cushion a traveler must add to his/her average travel time when planning trips to ensure on-time arrival. Kuhn et al. 2014
Buffer time The average travel time multiplied by the buffer index. Kuhn et al. 2014
Bus-on-shoulder An application of dynamic shoulder use in which the shoulder is only allowed to be used by transit vehicles. FHWA 2012c
Capacity The maximum rate at which vehicles can pass through the intersection under prevailing conditions. Kuhn et al. 2014
Congested time The percent of day with average section speeds less than some target speed (e.g., 50 mph).
Congested travel The percent of VMT with average section speeds less than some target speed (e.g., 50 mph).
Contraflow Another term for dynamic lane reversal.
Corridor A broad geographical band that follows a general directional flow connecting major sources of trips that may contain a number of streets, highways, and transit route alignments. TRB RTSMO 2021
Delay The amount of extra time spent traveling due to congestion. Kuhn et al. 2014
Departure time The time at which a traveler would depart for a trip. Kuhn et al. 2014
Dynamic junction control The dynamic allocation of lane access on mainline and ramp lanes in interchange areas where high traffic volumes are present and the relative demand on the mainline and ramps changes throughout the day. Mainline lanes can be closed or become an exit, shoulders can be opened, etc., to accommodate entering or exiting traffic. Merge control at work zones is not included as part of this strategy description. FHWA 2012c
Dynamic lane assignment Another term for dynamic lane-use control.
Dynamic lane reversal The reversal of one or all lanes in order to dynamically allocate the capacity of congested roads, thereby allowing capacity to better match traffic demand throughout the day. Lane reversal could include changing the number of available lanes per direction by physically moving barriers or by signage. There is a distinction in terms of use on a freeway versus arterial. Typical lane reversal strategies on freeways are for emergency operations (contraflow lanes) or designed as part of the managed lanes facility such as a HOT/HOV lane. On arterials, lane reversals account for directional traffic flows. FHWA 2012c

Term Definition Source
Dynamic lane-use control The dynamic closing or opening of individual traffic lanes as warranted and providing advance warning of the closure(s) (typically through dynamic lane control signs mounted over each lane of traffic) in order to safely merge traffic into adjoining lanes. Lane-use control is often installed in conjunction with variable speed limits and may use the same signs. The goal of the strategy is to direct traffic into appropriate lanes based on conditions. Permanent HOV/HOT lanes are not included in this definition. FHWA 2012c
Dynamic merge control A form of dynamic junction control that may be used ahead of a lane reduction on a facility, such as in advance of a work zone where traffic merges into one lane. FHWA 2012c
Dynamic shoulder lanes Another term for dynamic shoulder use.
Dynamic shoulder use The use of the shoulder as a travel lane(s) based on congestion levels during peak periods and in response to incidents or other conditions as warranted during nonpeak periods. Shoulder use may be restricted to certain types of vehicles or occupants. For ATM, shoulder use implies the ability to dynamically alter the usage of the shoulder. Static, time-of-day approaches are not generally included in the definition. However, they may serve as precursors to true dynamic use. FHWA 2012c

Line control Another term for variable speed limits, typically used in Europe.
Nonrecurring congestion Roadway congestion due to nonrecurring causes, such as crashes, disabled vehicles, work zones, adverse weather events, and planned special events. FHWA 2023e
Occupancy The percent of time that a detector indicates a vehicle is present over a total time period. Urbanik et al. 2015
On-scene time The time difference between when the first responder arrives and the last responder leaves an incident scene; may also be computed for individual responders. Owens et al. 2010
Overall crash rate The total crashes divided by VMT for the time period considered.
Oversaturation When intersection demand vastly exceeds route and phase green time allocations. Gettman et al. 2013

Term Definition Source
Peak-travel time The free-flow travel time added to the delay time. Kuhn et al. 2014
Percent arrivals on green A measure of individual phase progression performance that estimates the proportion of vehicles that arrives at a green light versus the proportion that arrives at a red light. Gettman et al. 2013

Slowly moving vehicles or people joining the rear of the queue are usually considered part of the queue. The internal queue dynamics can involve starts and stops. A faster-moving line of vehicles is often referred to as a moving queue or a platoon. Urbanik et al. 2015
Queue warning Real-time displays of warning messages (typically on dynamic message signs and possibly coupled with flashing lights) along a roadway to alert motorists that queues or significant slowdowns are ahead, thus reducing rear-end crashes and improving safety. Static queue warning signs are not included in this definition. FHWA 2012c
Real-time traveler information The provision of information for all sorts of travel on the surface transportation networks, including collection and processing of that information, its provision to consumers, and its use by system operators to improve travel. FHWA 2023c
Recommended departure time A time of departure calculated by a traveler information system that would ensure on-time arrival for a given level of risk tolerance. Kuhn et al. 2014

Travel time reliability The consistency or dependability in travel times as measured from day to day or across different times of the day. Kuhn et al. 2014
Variable speed advisories The application of variable speeds that are advisory in nature rather than regulatory. FHWA 2012c
Variable speed limits The adjustment of speed limits based on real-time traffic, roadway, and/or weather conditions. Variable speed limits can be either enforceable (regulatory) speed limits or recommended speed advisories, and they can be applied to an entire roadway segment or individual lanes. The goal of the strategy depends on the application but typically includes one or all of the following: (a) Reduce speed to match the travel speed to the roadway conditions. (b) Reduce speed variability between vehicles. (c) Harmonize speeds upstream of congestion to pace vehicles through bottlenecks and incident/work zones. FHWA 2012c
Vehicle-miles of travel The product of the number of vehicles traveling over a length of road multiplied by the length of the road.
Weather events Any weather conditions that impact roads in various ways, including visibility impairments, precipitation, high winds, and temperature extremes, to affect driver capabilities, vehicle performance (i.e., traction, stability, and maneuverability), pavement friction, roadway infrastructure, crash risk, traffic flow, and agency productivity.
