Congestion has reached a boiling pointTransportation is part of the
public agendaCongestion is the No 1 political priority - Rep Young
…and people want more information to help them cope

In this past year….
• Dimensions of the problem
• What is required for “peak operating performance”
• Legislative Options

Dimensioning the Problem: Congestion
• 46% of peak period travel is congested
• 4.3 billion hours wasted
• No longer a big city problem– Congestion in small
areas grew 400%

Dimensioning the Problem:Incident Management
• 60% of the Peak?
• 1:4 clearance to traffic back up
• Cost of wrong response?
• Benchmarks?
•

Dimensioning the Problem: Work Zones
Top of American’s traffic frustration list!
American’s top three traffic improvements are work zone related.
1 of every 5 state miles in California is under construction!
![Page 9: Transportation Operations Goals and Accomplishments Institute of Transportation Engineers 2001 Spring Conference and Exhibit Dr. Christine Johnson D irector,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f555503460f94c794f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Its not the money for Maintenance
It’s the time!

Dimensioning the Problem: Weather
• 50% of U.S population run 5% risk of hurricanes
• 69% of Americans in snow belt
• 74% of NHS in snow belt
•A day long weather shutdown - $15-$93 million
![Page 11: Transportation Operations Goals and Accomplishments Institute of Transportation Engineers 2001 Spring Conference and Exhibit Dr. Christine Johnson D irector,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f555503460f94c794f2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is it going to take to achieve Peak Performance?
1. Raise the bar of individual activities
2. Integrate
3. Tools and data
4. Performance Measure
5. Communicate with the public
6. Spend the money
![Page 12: Transportation Operations Goals and Accomplishments Institute of Transportation Engineers 2001 Spring Conference and Exhibit Dr. Christine Johnson D irector,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f555503460f94c794f2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Peak Performance Raising the Bar
•Operations Self Assessment
•Signal Timing Video
•Incident Management Guidance
•Public Safety Initiative

Peak Performance Raising the Bar
• Work Zone Hassle Index
•Divides delay by life of improvement
•Integrating weather information with traffic signal timing

Peak Performance Integration
• Architecture Rule • The Long Range Plan for
Operations
• Required in 4 years
• Brings right players to table
• 511• Public will demand seamless
information

Peak Performance Tools
• Turbo Architecture
• IDAS
• Quick Zone
• NGSIM
• Decision Support Tools

• 511 – DOT a phone call away
•Quality
•Accuracy
•Capacity
At least I called ahead and delayed the meeting
Peak Performance Communicate with Customer
Consider an award for the best traffic web site?
![Page 18: Transportation Operations Goals and Accomplishments Institute of Transportation Engineers 2001 Spring Conference and Exhibit Dr. Christine Johnson D irector,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f555503460f94c794f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Peak Performance Spend the Money
• Baseline data• States relatively flat 5-6%
• Cities have grown from 3% to
nearly 7%
• Launched Survey• Are we spending enough?
• Does operations compete well?
![Page 19: Transportation Operations Goals and Accomplishments Institute of Transportation Engineers 2001 Spring Conference and Exhibit Dr. Christine Johnson D irector,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f555503460f94c794f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Legislative Options
1. Data – Minimum data collecting capability on NHS
2. Institutional Development
3. Policy - Provide for three distinct missions
4. Money
