Project Abstract - Traffic Management System

Active traffic management (ATM), also known as managed lanes or smart lanes, is a scheme for improving traffic flow and reducing congestion on motorways. It has been implemented in several countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It makes use of automatic systems and human intervention to manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of road users.

              

It is currently in operation on the M42 motorway south-east of Birmingham and in Warwickshire. The scheme had initially been criticized by some due to possible safety and environmental concerns, however a Highways Agency report into the first six months of the scheme scheme showed a reduction in the number of accidents from over 5 a month to 1.5 per month on average. It has now been expanded onto other roads following the initial trial on the M42. It is seen as a less expensive alternative to widening a road.
