Title: FACILITATING TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT THROUGH IVHS
Abstract: This paper addresses the development of strategies that facilitate the implementation and operation of travel demand management (TDM) through the use of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) mechanisms. The goal of travel demand management is to reduce roadway vehicle demand by developing and encouraging modes other that the single occupancy vehicle (SOV), in order to decrease congestion by altering the timing and/or location of a trip, or to eliminate a trip altogether. Because of the growing problem of congestion and air pollution, many areas in the U.S. have already implemented TDM programs, or will have to do so under the 1990 Clean Air Act. Often these TDM programs are implemented in response to a public or private sector policy or regulation designed to reduce traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, reduce parking space needs and/or increase the number of persons using high occupancy vehicles. In order to ensure that the goals and objectives of the policies or regulations are being met, monitoring and enforcement become an important support element of TDM program development.
