The goal of the SHRP 2 Project L33 Validation of Urban Freeway Models was to assess and enhance the predictive travel time reliability models developed in the SHRP 2 Project L03, Analytic Procedures for Determining the Impacts of Reliability Mitigation Strategies. SHRP 2 Project L03, which concluded in 2010, developed two categories of reliability models to be used for the estimation or prediction of travel time reliability within planning, programming, and systems management contexts: data-rich and data-poor models. The objectives of Project L33 were the following: • The first was to validate the most important models – the “Data Poor” and “Data Rich” models with new datasets. • The second objective was to assess the validation outcomes to recommend potential enhancements. • The third was to explore enhancements and develop a final set of predictive equations. • The fourth was to validate the enhanced models. • The last was to develop a clear set of application guidelines for practitioner use of the project outputs.

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.

Travel time reliability information includes static data about traffic speeds or trip times that capture historic variations from day to day, and it can help individuals understand the level of variation in traffic. Unlike real-time travel time information, which provides a current snapshot of trip conditions and travel time, reliability information can be used to plan and budget in advance for a trip. Travel time reliability information can improve urban mobility by conveying reliability-related information to system users so that they can make informed decisions about their travel. Data files in this zipped package include macro-enabled Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. These spreadsheets operate as interactive games. To save them into open formats would destroy this functionality. Therefore the macro-enabled spreadsheets are left as-is. There were opened prior to ingest in this repository using Microsoft Excel 2010. This dataset supports SHRP 2 report S2-L14-RW-1, Effectiveness of different approaches to disseminating traveler information on travel time reliability. Zip contains 628 MB.

"SHRP 2 initiated the L38 project to pilot test products from five of the program’s completed projects. The products support reliability estimation and use based on data analyses, analytical techniques, and decision-making framework. The L38 project has two main objectives: (1) to assist agencies in using travel time reliability as a measure in their business practices and (2) to receive feedback from the project research teams on the applicability and usefulness of the products tested, along with their suggested possible refinements. SHRP 2 selected four teams from California, Minnesota, Florida, and Washington. Project L38C tested elements from Projects L02, L05, L07, and L08. Project L02 identified methods to collect, archive, and integrate required data for reliability estimation and methods for analyzing and visualizing the causes of unreliability based on the collected data. Projects L07 and L08 produced analytical techniques and tools for estimating reliability based on developed models and allowing the estimation of reliability and the impacts on reliability of alternative mitigating strategies. Project L05 provided guidance regarding how to use reliability assessments to support the business processes of transportation agencies.

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 zip file contains comma separated value (.csv) files of data to support SHRP 2 report S2-L08-RW-1, Incorporating travel time reliability into the Highway Capacity Manual. Zip size is 1.83 MB.

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.
