Analytical Procedures for Determining the Impacts of Reliability Mitigation Strategies [supporting datasets]
공공데이터포털
The objective of this project was to develop technical relationships between reliability improvement strategies and reliability performance metrics. This project defined reliability, explained the importance of travel time distributions for measuring reliability, and recommended specific reliability performance measures. The research reexamined the contribution of the various causes of nonrecurring congestion on urban freeway sections, however, some attention was also given to rural highways and urban arterials). Numerous actions that can potentially reduce nonrecurring congestion were identified with an indication of their relative importance. Models for predicting nonrecurring congestion were developed using three methods, all based on empirical procedures: The first involved before and after studies; the second was termed a 'data poor' approach and resulted in a parsimonious and easy-to-apply set of models; the third was entitled a 'data rich model' and used cross-section inputs including data on selected factors known to directly affect nonrecurring congestion. An important conclusion of the study is that actions to improve operations, reduce demand, and increase capacity all can improve travel time reliability.

Pilot Testing of SHRP 2 Reliability Data and Analytical Products: Washington [supporting datasets]
공공데이터포털
The Washington site used the reliability guide from Project L02, analysis tools for forecasting reliability and estimating impacts from Project L07, Project L08, and Project C11 as well as the guide on reliability performance measures from the Project L05 product. The Washington site focused on the I-5 and I-405 corridors from Lynnwood to Tukwila (approximately 30 miles long for each corridor running through the Puget Sound metropolitan region), and the SR-522 urban arterial near Seattle. The pilot testing demonstrated that the SHRP 2 Reliability data and analytical products clearly addressed the practical challenges that transportation agencies face when monitoring and analyzing travel time reliability. However, most tools require significant improvements at the application level. Project L38D was intended to evaluate a suite of projects to determine their readiness for implementation. Those projects had a logical structure consisting of data collection, analysis, and project prioritization. The datasets in this zip file, which is 90.5 MB in size, are in support of SHRP 2 reliability project L38D, "Pilot testing of SHRP 2 reliability data and analytical products: Washington."

Pilot Testing of SHRP 2 Reliability Data and Analytical Products: Southern California [supporting datasets]
공공데이터포털
The objective of this project was to develop system designs for programs to monitor travel time reliability and to prepare a guidebook that practitioners and others can use to design, build, operate, and maintain such systems. Generally, such travel time reliability monitoring systems will be built on top of existing traffic monitoring systems. The focus of this project was on travel time reliability. The data from the monitoring systems developed in this project – from both public and private sources –included, wherever cost-effective, information on the seven sources of non-recurring congestion. This data was used to construct performance measures or to perform various types of analyses useful for operations management as well as performance measurement, planning, and programming. The datasets in this zip file, which is 338.39 MB in size, are in support of SHRP 2 reliability project L38A, "Pilot testing of SHRP 2 reliability data and analytical products: Southern California."

Incorporating travel time reliability into the Highway Capacity Manual [supporting datasets]
공공데이터포털
The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) historically has been among the most important reference guides used by transportation professionals seeking a systematic basis for evaluating the capacity, level of service, and performance measures for elements of the surface transportation system, particularly highways but also other modes. The objective of this project was to determine how data and information on the impacts of differing causes of nonrecurrent congestion (incidents, weather, work zones, special events, etc.) in the context of highway capacity can be incorporated into the performance measure estimation procedures contained in the HCM. The methodologies contained in the HCM for predicting delay, speed, queuing, and other performance measures for alternative highway designs are not currently sensitive to traffic management techniques and other operation/design measures for reducing nonrecurrent congestion. A further objective was to develop methodologies to predict travel time reliability on selected types of facilities and within corridors. This project developed new analytical procedures and prepared chapters about freeway facilities and urban streets for potential incorporation of travel-time reliability into the HCM. The methods are embodied in two computational engines, and a final report documents the research.

This data was used to construct performance measures or to perform various types of analyses useful for operations management as well as performance measurement, planning, and programming. The work on Project L02 began with a research phase. The primary results of Project L02 research were a guidebook and a final report. An additional contribution of the research showed that it may be possible to add the variability of travel time from one segment to another. Another contribution of the research was the development of a queuing point model, an application that analytically determines travel time reliability over a freeway segment.

Identification and Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Highway Design Features to Reduce Nonrecurrent Congestion [supporting datasets]
공공데이터포털
This project focused specifically on design treatments that can be used to improve travel time reliability. The objectives of this research were to (1) identify the full range of possible roadway design features used by transportation agencies to improve travel time reliability and reduce delays from key causes of nonrecurrent congestion, (2) assess their costs and operational and safety effectiveness, and (3) provide recommendations for their use and eventual incorporation into appropriate design guides. This research generated two companion products that allow transportation agencies and professionals to apply these research findings effectively in daily practice. These products are the Design Guide for Addressing Nonrecurrent Congestion, which is a catalogue of the design elements and their associated use information, and the Analysis Tool for Design Treatments to Address Nonrecurring Congestion, which is a tool to execute the various analysis procedures and models to measure the effectiveness of a design element on travel time reliability.
