Abstract:

The Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) Reliability Project L05, Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes, provides guidance for transportation planning agencies to help them incorporate travel time reliability performance measures and strategies into the transportation planning and programming process. This will allow operational improvements to be considered alongside more traditional types of capital improvements and ensure that transportation funds are being used as effectively as possible. This document is the technical reference for incorporating reliability performance measures into the planning and programming process. It provides a how-to guide for technical staff to select and calculate the appropriate performance measures to support the development of key planning products, including the following: long-range transportation plans; State Transportation Improvement Programs and Transportation Improvement Programs; congestion management process; corridor planning; and operations planning. This technical reference is designed to accompany the guide written for planning, programming, and operations managers and focuses on the options that need to be considered to integrate reliability into the planning and programming process. Detailed case studies were also developed as part of the L05 project to develop and validate the guidance and techniques presented in the guide and the technical reference. Reference to the case studies occurs throughout the technical reference. A final report summarizes the research that was conducted as part of this project. It includes a summary of a literature review, a state of the practice survey, and validation case studies conducted to test the concepts and methods evaluated as part of this project. It also provides a detailed appendix that describes the linkage between this project and PlanWorks (formerly known as Transportation for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnership or TCAPP), the keystone project of the SHRP 2 Capacity program. SHRP 2 L05 draws from the research and techniques developed by many other SHRP projects. These are referenced throughout the technical reference. After an introductory chapter, the remainder of the chapters are organized as follows: Overview of Travel Time Reliability; Description of Tools and Methods for Estimating Reliability; Tool and Method Selection Process; Conducting a Reliability Analysis; Benefit–Cost Analysis; and Improving Planning and Programming Capability. Select relevant material from outside sources is provided in supplemental appendices.
