Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes

Overview

This report reviews domestic and international literature describing current research and state of the practice in using travel time reliability in transportation planning; summarizes case studies from agencies working to incorporate reliability into their transportation planning processes. Further the report summarizes travel time reliability performance measures, strategies for improving travel time reliability, and tools available for measuring the impacts strategies have on travel time reliability as well as describes the framework for incorporating reliability performance into transportation planning processes.

The overall project was to develop the technical procedures for state DOTs and MPOs to fully integrate mobility and reliability performance measures and strategies into the transportation planning and programming processes. The project developed the following additional supporting materials:

  • Guide to Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes
  • Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes: Technical Reference
  • Presentation on Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into the Transportation Planning and Programming Processes
  • Reliability Assessment Processor
