Configuration management, a process developed to control change in complex information technology-based systems, has attracted an increasing amount of attention from the transportation engineering community. As the intelligent transportation systems program accelerates and transportation departments develop and operate increasingly complex transportation management systems, the need for configuration management grows. In this research effort the need for configuration management within transportation management systems is examined by exploring the foundations of configuration management, analyzing the key functions of transportation management, surveying transportation officials, and conducting a case study to examine the configuration management process used by the Georgia Department of Transportation. The Georgia Navigator system integrates elements of freeway management, arterial management, incident management, and traveler information provision.
