Glossary of Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operation Terms

Transportation Research Circular E-C133
Transportation Research Board
April 2009



Common terms are necessary for us to understand one another as we develop and improve the management and operations of our transportation systems. Without a universal understanding, it is not possible for us to quickly and efficiently work together. Too often, we use different terms to describe a single concept, event, or device. This glossary was developed to avoid frequently occurring misconceptions that arise as we use different terms for the same meaning. The glossary was developed by professionals in the transportation community to be used by fellow professionals as well as by individuals with whom these professionals deal in the management and operations of transportation systems. It was reviewed by members of various committees of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
