TOPL will provide tools to: (1) specify the actions for operational improvements considered in the Caltrans Traffic Management Systems Master Plan; (2) quickly estimate the benefits that such actions can realize; and (3) prepare a detection plan to support implementation of actions, accurately measure the ex post benefits of those actions, and compare them with their ex ante estimates.
