Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Increased Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) focus by transportation agencies demands not only recruitment and retaining efforts for traditional engineering positions but also for more technically diverse workforce with expertise in supporting emerging technologies such as connected and automated vehicles, big-data analytics, and sophisticated decision support systems. This article outlines National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-07(408) which culminated in a guidebook that provides state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other transportation agencies with usable materials for revamping TSMO hiring and knowledge development, as well as lessons to meet other workforce needs associated with new technologies. To determine key challenges faced by transportation agencies, researchers conducted a series of interviews with the staff of more than 30 DOTs, along with a comprehensive literature review related to TSMO workforce development. The highest-ranked issues were (1) the lack of existing training versus emerging needs and (2) the lack of a clear career path development for TSMO. As part of the project two workshops helped identify 19 new and emerging TSMO positions. A brief description of each position is included.
