ArterialA roadway that serves major centers of metropolitan areas or rural areas to provide mobility that is not access controlled.FHWA 2013
Average travel timeAn 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 delayThe extra travel time during work zone activities (compared to operation without a work zone).Mallela and Sadasivam 2011
Buffer indexA 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 timeThe average travel time multiplied by the buffer index.Kuhn et al. 2014
Bus-on-shoulderAn application of dynamic shoulder use in which the shoulder is only allowed to be used by transit vehicles.FHWA 2012c
CapacityThe maximum rate at which vehicles can pass through the intersection under prevailing conditions.Kuhn et al. 2014
Congested timeThe percent of day with average section speeds less than some target speed (e.g., 50 mph).
Congested travelThe percent of VMT with average section speeds less than some target speed (e.g., 50 mph).
ContraflowAnother term for dynamic lane reversal.
CorridorA 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
DelayThe amount of extra time spent traveling due to congestion.Kuhn et al. 2014

Dynamic junction controlThe 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 assignmentAnother term for dynamic lane-use control.
Dynamic lane reversalThe 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

TermDefinitionSource
Dynamic lane-use controlThe 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 controlA 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 lanesAnother term for dynamic shoulder use.
Dynamic shoulder useThe 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

Nonrecurring congestionRoadway congestion due to nonrecurring causes, such as crashes, disabled vehicles, work zones, adverse weather events, and planned special events.FHWA 2023e
OccupancyThe percent of time that a detector indicates a vehicle is present over a total time period.Urbanik et al. 2015
On-scene timeThe 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 rateThe total crashes divided by VMT for the time period considered.
OversaturationWhen intersection demand vastly exceeds route and phase green time allocations.Gettman et al. 2013

TermDefinitionSource
Peak-travel timeThe free-flow travel time added to the delay time.Kuhn et al. 2014
Percent arrivals on greenA 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

Platoon ratioA measure of individual phase progression performance derived from the percentage of arrivals on green.Gettman et al. 2013
QueueA line of vehicles, bicycles, or persons waiting to be served by the system in which the flow rate from the front of the queue determines the average speed within the queue. 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 warningReal-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 informationThe 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 timeA 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 reliabilityThe 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 advisoriesThe application of variable speeds that are advisory in nature rather than regulatory.FHWA 2012c
Variable speed limitsThe 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 travelThe product of the number of vehicles traveling over a length of road multiplied by the length of the road.
Weather eventsAny 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.FHWA 2023h
