This paper discusses the formulation and conceptual design of an intelligent event-responsive urban traffic management system. This system is event responsive at the local level whilst influencing (and controlling when needed) local intersections using real-time strategy and policy monitoring. To do this, some emerging research questions are posited with relation to enhancing the capability of individual intersection performance for dynamically changing travel demand by well-informed travellers, and by taking into account the broader questions of economical, environmental and social objectives rather than only transport specific ones.
