  1. Module 9:Advanced Corridor Management and Operations Regional Operations Forum

  2. About FDOT District Six • Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties • 700 centerline miles • 270 centerline miles of ITS coverage • 7 Actively Managed Limited Access Facilities and Roadways • Miami is One of the Top Ten Most Congested Cities in U.S. • 2.75 million residents in 2017 • 15.86 million visitors in 2017

  3. Session Purpose • Introduce Corridor Management as a TSM&O strategy • Provide understanding of: • What is Corridor Management? • Why is it important? • What are the benefits? • Role of Leadership • Program set up and mainstreaming • Interagency collaboration • Active Traffic Management (ATM) examples • Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) examples • FDOT Traffic Management Video

  4. What is a Corridor? • A broad geographical band that follows a general directional flow connecting major sources of trips that may contain a number of streets, highways, and transit alignments

  5. How Travelers Use a Corridor • Travelers have many options, jurisdictional boundaries do not matter • If one option is congested, travelers may: • Select a different mode or roadway • Adjust the trip to another time of day • Remain on their current route • Not take their trip • A goal should be to manage corridors in ways that maximize the effectiveness of the system

  6. What is Corridor Management? • Corridors sometimes contain unused capacity • Parallel routes • Nonpeak direction and hours • Single-occupant vehicles • Underutilized modes (e.g., transit, pedestrian) • TSM&O activities are implemented so that available capacity is used efficiently, effectively and safely • Integrating and actively managing the corridor can more fully utilize this capacity

  7. Corridor Management Initially • There are more traditional strategies that focus on managing individual modes or roadway types separately… • Freeway management – • Arterial management • Traveler information • Transit management

  8. Current State of Corridor Management Integrated strategies that focus on multiple modes and routes in a corridor • Active Traffic Management (ATM) • Actively managing the system, using a proactive approach to managing traffic on a corridor • Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) • Leverage existing, excess intermodal capacity on underutilized roads and transit services

  9. ATM strategies ATM strategies include: • Ramp metering • Adaptive Signal Control • Lane-use control/reversible lanes • Variable speeds (advisory or enforceable) • Queue warning • Hard shoulder running • Dynamic rerouting ATM is not limited to urban areas!

  10. ATM is more than stand-alone deployments • Properly implemented it’s more proactive process and response • ATM supports and is compatible with other combined, integrated approaches • Traffic incident management • Work zone management • Managed lanes Active Management

  11. ICM Concept source SANDAG

  12. Why is it Important to Manage a Corridor? • It’s truly not possible to build our way out of congestion • Agencies must evolve practices and change focus to improve operations • Innovative technologies can improve mobility to increase capacity • Increased collaboration with partner agencies can improve communications and information sharing

  13. What are the Benefits? • Improve traveler safety, mobility and reliability • Make better use of existing infrastructure investments • Lower capital costs than new roads • Improve Safety • Work Zone & Incident Management • Enhance traffic incident management • Provides real time information for travelers to make informed decisions about mode and route choices

  14. Leadership’s Role in Advancing TSM&O and Corridor Management Strategies

  15. Leadership Actions • Develop and Adopt TSM&O Program • Represents a cultural shift and a departure from standard practice at all levels • Creates opportunity to capture funding • $55M/year budget on the TSM&O program in District 6 • Enhance business processes to consider TSM&O during planning, design, construction and maintenance activities • Eliminate silos between functional area • Incorporate TSM&O strategies into procedures • Promote active management for more dynamic and proactive operations • Collaborate with interagency stakeholders

  16. Example: D6 TSM&O Program Development Statewide TSM&O Leadership Team Statewide TSM&O Task Team Functional Area Business Plans Traffic Operations Planning Statewide TSM&O Strategic Plan Design Construction D6 TSM&O Core Group Maintenance D6 TSM&O Program Action Plan Modal Development Update

  17. Collaborate with interagency stakeholders for ATM & ICM activities • State, regional, local stakeholders who manage freeways, arterials, transit and other modes • MPO, TMC, signal operations, service patrol, enforcement, incident response • Integrate plans, programs and resources • Identify critical institutional, operational, and technical gaps, and potential solutions • Define processes, roles and responsibilities, timelines, and sustainable funding requirements and sources in a Concept of Operations

  18. Example: Southeast Florida Regional Managed Lanes Network • Extensive Stakeholder Engagement • Multi-Agency Partnerships • FDOT, FTE, MPOs, FHWA, FHP, MDX, County Transit, SFCS • Executive, Technical and Public Information Committees

  19. Collaborate with interagency stakeholders for ATM & ICM activities - continued • Establish interagency agreements for new operations models and connectivity • Joint operations or designated authority for agreed-upon response plans • Data, cost and resource sharing • Staff and agency priorities can change but effort remains • Develop relationships • Often most complex and challenging part of ICM, but critical to success

  20. Examples: Interagency Agreements • FDOT District 6 Regional Transportation Management Center (RTMC) • Collocation agreements – $250K/year • FHP, Expressway Authority, Miami Dade County, City of Miami Beach • Traffic Signal Maintenance and Compensation Agreements • Miami Dade County Signals & Signs Division - $6M/year • City of Key West – $60K/year • Congestion Management local funding agreements • Miami Downtown Development Authority Event Management Plan Development - $65K • Miami Dade County Underline (Multiuse Path) - $20K

  21. Active Traffic Management (ATM) Examples

  22. Example: FDOT ATM Projects • SW 8th Street Adaptive Signal Control Technology Pilot Project • SW 67th Avenue to SW 142nd Avenue • Actively monitored and operated by FDOT • 29 signalized intersections, CCTV cameras, Dynamic Message Signs, Travel Time monitoring system • 55K to 70K vehicles per day • InSync Adaptive • Jointly maintained with Miami Dade County

  23. Example: FDOT ATM Projects • NW 119th Street Adaptive Signal Control Technology Pilot Project • Under Construction - NW 119th Street from NW 32nd Avenue to NW 5th Avenue; and NW 27th Avenue from NW 110th Street to NW 119th Street • 15 Signalized Intersections, CCTV cameras, Dynamic Message Signs, Travel Time monitoring system, Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) ready controllers, fiber optic communications • Econolite/Centracs w/ adaptive module • 37K to 40K vehicles per day

  24. Example: FDOT ATM Projects • Overseas Highway/US1 Florida Keys • As of July 1, 2018 FDOT assumed signal operation and maintenance • 17 Signalized Intersections, 8 Emergency Signals, 26 Beacons • Deployed McCain/Transparity and signal controller upgrades for active arterial management • 11K to 32K vehicles per day • NEXT PHASE Connected Vehicle (CV) and Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) planned for this corridor
