This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project improved on technology created at the University of California, Berkeley to provide fast and reliable traffic simulation capabilities to traffic managers as an online service deployed in a cloud. The resulting product, Relteq Harmony, is a Decision Support System (DSS) that transportation network operators can use to determine the best possible response to traffic events. In particular, they can evaluate advanced operational strategies ranging from improved traffic signal timing or freeway ramp metering to variable speed limits, flexible lane assignments and alternative routing. Relteq Harmony functions either as a planning tool, or as a tactical tool that runs in real-time and lets a traffic control center continuously optimize the application of available tactics, keeping roadways flowing at peak capacity. Relteq Harmony is developed following the paradigm of Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) proposed by the Federal Highway Administration.
