A through scan of the deployment of traffic management systems across the continental US and Europe will provide a body of reference and lessons learned from the deployment of traffic management systems and guide agencies as to what are the critical factors for successful deployment of traffic management systems software. Another critical need addressed by this project is a listing of potential pitfalls for a successful project.
