CMS Congestion Management System Mandated by the federal government in regions such as northern New Jersey that are not in compliance with the CAAA, the North Jersey CMS takes a systematic approach to identifying and addressing congestion problems. It includes data collection, monitoring and measuring of transportation system performance and identifying alternative actions and strategies for particular locations. A computer system that can spatially manage, analyze and present geographic data.
Road maps show simple kinds of data like town names, highway routes and rivers.
GIS uses computers to greatly extend the data tied to locations and allows users to create customized maps and analyze patterns and relationships. ITS Intelligent Transportation System Technology to better manage traffic and transit resources, increase the capacity capabilities of this nation's highways, enhance safety and reduce accidents and more effectively handle toll collection, safety inspection, log maintenance, licensing and vehicle registration. Applications of ITS technology include computerized traffic signal systems, traffic management systems, satellite vehicle tracking systems, electronic toll collection, electronic weigh in motion and safety inspection of commercial vehicles, automatic container tracking systems, in-vehicle route guidance devices, emergency and incident response systems and Mayday systems in vehicles that automatically alert police, fire or other emergency services if an accident should occur. A federally mandated study that reviews and evaluates a range of alternatives for proposed transportation improvements in a corridor or subarea. In general, an MMTI is an undertaking that represents a capacity increase where mobility problems are significantly affecting corridor or subarea travel.
