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.

"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.
