  6. Operations Performance MeasuresProgram History & Development • Travel Time Reliability (80th percentile) • Vehicle Hours of Delay

  7. Operations Performance MeasuresProgram History & Development

  8. Operations Performance MeasuresProgram History & Development • Available Data – Established Measures • Incident Duration • HOV Lane Performance • Future Efforts • Work Zones • Weather

  9. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions • Introduced / Revised Operations Performance Measures • Vehicle Hours of Delay • Incident Duration • HOV Lane Performance • Incorporated Performance Measures in Operations Planning • Programs • Smart Roadway Technology

  10. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions Vehicle Hours of Delay data source = RITIS Vehicle Probe Project - All Interstates (except Lynchburg = US29, US58, US360, US460 ) Incident data source = VaTraffic Incidents and Short Term Weather on Interstates with a duration > 30 minutes (excluding Amber Alerts and Congestion) HOV Performance = HOV operating at speeds of 45mph or greater 90% of the time .

  11. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions – Vehicle Hours of Delay • Established delay thresholds • Established interstate segments • Introduced results • Developing targets

  12. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions – Incident Duration • Revised criteria (FY15) • > 30 minutes • Travel lanes cleared • Median duration • Disabled vehicles, vehicle crashes, vehicle fires and tractor trailer crashes • Introduced results • Developing targets

  13. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions – 2014 Program Changes • Adjusted safety service patrol routes • Promote quick clearance • Complete TIM training • Review and update allowable work hours

  14. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions – 2014 Program Changes

  15. Operations Performance MeasuresResults & Recent Actions – Planning • Performance Measures is a basis for the Smart Roadway Technology master plan. • Smart Roadway Technology projects were developed to improve travel time reliability and reduce congestion via • Technology gap closures • Advanced technologies • ITS equipment life cycle replacement • Tunnel traffic management • Arterial operations

  16. Operations Performance MeasuresOn-going Activities • Introduce Travel Time Reliability (80th percentile) performance measures • Expand performance measures from interstates only to all limited access highways • Establish continuous data accuracy reviews • Develop Work Zone data collection and analyses • Develop predictive planning tools
