• Ride Quality- The percent of pavement (lane miles) Q y p p ( )with average ride quality in the Excellent, Good, or Fair categories (smooth ride).

All d h I d P i d i Vi i i• All road segments on the Interstate and Primary road systems in Virginia are tested each year and rated in one of the following categories: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, or Very Poor.

• Pavement Condition- Percent of pavement in non-deficient pcondition.

• Bridge Condition- Count of bridges not structurally deficient based on the most recent inspection for bridges and culverts inbased on the most recent inspection for bridges and culverts in Virginia.

Green = Non-Deficient, General Condition Rating (GCR) of 6-9 Yellow = One or more GCR equal to 5 but not Structurally Deficient R d St t ll D fi i t GCR ti f 0 4Red= Structurally Deficient, GCR rating of 0-4

VDOT’s Dashboard C ti MCongestion Measures

• Congestion at Various Interstate Locations- The percent g pof traffic (vehicle miles traveled) that moved in good, fair, and poor categories based on the density of traffic.

• Traffic Speeds on High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) p g p y ( )facilities- The percent of peak period traffic volume, which moved at speeds greater than and less than 45 mph through HOV facilities.

• Travel time on Key Interstate Commuter Routes- Travel• Travel time on Key Interstate Commuter Routes- Travel times for selected routes, during peak commuter hours are displayed along with the free flow travel times.

• Incident duration How long it takes to clear unplanned events• Incident duration- How long it takes to clear unplanned events, which affect traffic.

• Hours of Delay- How many hours of extra travel time are i d b t l d i th d i k i d f t lexperienced by travelers during the year during peak periods of travel

Current Status of Traffic Data at VDOT

• VDOT has a wealth of traffic performance related data:• Volumes• Volumes• Vehicle speeds and classifications• Travel time• Incident and crash data• Inventory• Corridor and intersection operationsp

• Data are distributed among a number of systems• Some elements are difficult to access• Staff spends significant time integrating data from different• Staff spends significant time integrating data from different

sources• Still, most questions go unanswered or unanalyzed

16

Traffic Data & Performance Management System (TDPMS) will help:System (TDPMS) will help:

• Goals• Support analysis of VDOT’s traffic performance-related data • Serve as the archive for the statewide ATMS• Support MAP-21 complianceSupport MAP 21 compliance

• Vision• Provide one access point to traffic detector, vehicle probe, incident,

roadway network and other data needed to support analysis ofroadway network and other data needed to support analysis of traffic performance

• Create new analysis capabilities by integrating data sets spatially and over time

• Facilitate performance management through visualization aids, graphics and reports

• Establish an data archive than can be used with other applications and help meet future needs

17

Example Use Casesp

• Report on Congestionp g• Identify and prioritize bottlenecks• Report on HOV/HOT Lane Performance• Assess Planned Lane Closures• Analyze Incident Management Effectiveness

C• Develop Corridor Plans• Analyze Project Benefits

Summaryy

• VDOT has the data needed for most metrics that may yultimately be adopted (many are on the Dashboard)

• Additional tools (TDPMS) would help manage data d ti i l fand reporting in several performance areas

• System Reliability• Reporting on Interstate and NHS Performance• Setting Interstate/NHS performance goals

• Congestion Reduction/Environmental Sustainability• Calculate baseline level of traffic congestionCalculate baseline level of traffic congestion• Support determination of target performance• Help evaluate effectiveness of proposed projects

• Freight Movement and Economic Vitality• Freight Movement and Economic Vitality• Support calculation of actual and target performance
