Applying Analysis Tools in Planning for Operations is a brochure and four case studies developed for the Federal Highway Administration to guide planners, decision-makers, and operations professionals in the selection and use of new and innovative traffic analysis tools. The consistent utilization of these tools is a critical element in advancing operational strategies in the planning process and improving transportation decision-making. 
The Primer describes bottlenecks and explores the opportunity for near-term operational and low-cost construction opportunities to correct them. The Primer is a key resource for the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Localized Bottleneck Reduction (LBR) Program, providing a virtual forum for peer exchange between members of the transportation community interested in alleviating bottleneck congestion.
In the January/February 2007 issue of Public Roads magazine, Vassili Alexiadis co-authored a article with James Colyar and John Halkias about a public-private partnership that is working to improve traffic microsimulation technology. The article, titled A Model Endeavor, is available on the Public Roads web site.
Travelers want travel time reliability—a consistency or dependability in travel times, as measured from day to day or across different times of day. Drivers want to know that a trip will take a half-hour today, a half-hour tomorrow, and so on. This brochure addresses questions like Why is travel time reliability important? How do agencies measure travel time reliability? How does an agency begin using travel time reliability measures? and Who is currently using travel time reliability measures?
