		<td>Technology can enhance the management of urban highway networks through 
		signal coordination, route guidance, incident response, and 
		other features.  Due to the technical and institutional 
		complexities of large urban areas, however, centralized 
		management configurations may struggle to improve conditions 
		for a variety of reasons.  This research examines the 
		potential performance gains of decentralized management and 
		suggests strategies for linking together multiple, autonomous 
		subregions within an urban area.
