Performance Ranking of Arterial Corridors Using Travel Time and Travel Time Reliability Metrics

Analyzing System Travel Time in Arterial Corridors with Unconventional Designs Using Microscopic Simulation

A Freeway Travel Time Reliability Study

The objective of this study was to identify measures appropriate to estimate travel time reliability and apply them to study the reliability of travel time under varying freeway operating conditions. More specifically, a case study was undertaken to study travel time reliability along the I-65 corridor in the State of Alabama. The objectives of this study were to: a) Calculate reliability metri...

A Multi - State Travel Time Reliability Model

Travel time unreliability is an important characterization of transportation systems. The appropriate modeling and reporting of travel time reliability is crucial for individual travelers as well as management agencies. In this paper, a novel multi-state model is proposed for travel time modeling and reporting. The model advances travel time modeling in two aspects. First, the multi-state model...

Value of Travel Time :Theoretical and Empirical Method

The value of travel time savings (VTTS) is the monetary value attached to save a determined amount of travel time. VTTS is also the most important benefit category aimed at justifying investments in transport infrastructures by public administrations. Hence VTTS played a significant role in various economic studies, both analytical and empirical (Zamparini & Reggiani, 2007). "It is difficult to...

Real-time Estimation of Travel times on Arterial Roads – the Arrb Travel Time Model

Provision of travel time has been identified as a key road user support service which assists road authorities to improve network operation strategies and implement control measures. Travel times are commonly estimated for freeways where they are displayed to road users via variable message signs (VMS) but have proved far more difficult to calculate for arterial roads where traffic flow is inte...
