A Framework for Improving Travel Time Reliability (*SHRP 2 Prepublication Report)
|
|
Greetings!
Transportation systems management and operations (TSM&O) strategies can improve travel time reliability, which yields both safety and economic benefits and improves road-user experience. To date, only a few transportation agencies have TSM&O programs to address travel time reliability, but a common understanding of the causes of unreliable travel times and the actions that can improve reliability have the potential to make TSM&O programs more widespread. To help move TSM&O into mainstream agency practice, A Framework for Improving Travel Time Reliability (SHRP 2 Project L17) created the L17 Knowledge Transfer System web tool, which is available online as a beta test site. This tool integrates products from SHRP 2 Reliability research projects and other sources of TSM&O information, and it provides an umbrella structure for incorporating the many individual elements of TSM&O. The final report describes the creation of the L17 Knowledge Transfer System, research about TSM&O, and branding and communication strategies for the web tool.
* To make research available as early as possible, SHRP 2 is temporarily posting final reports that have been submitted by the research team, reviewed according to the relevant National Academy of Sciences procedures, and accepted for publication. These prepublication drafts, which have not been edited or formatted for publication, will be replaced by the final versions as they complete the editorial process.
