Download or read book Road Weather Management Performance Metrics written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents the results of a study to identify appropriate measures of performance that can be attributed to the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) products and activities. Specifically, the study sought to identify performance measures that can be used to assess program success in meeting the goals of SAFETEA-LU Section 5308 pertaining to Road Weather Research and Development Program. Measuring RWMP performance is important because weather impacts transportation safety, mobility, and productivity. The focus of this effort is on identifying meaningful and implementable output and outcome metrics that address the SAFETEA-LU goals through RWMP activities. Both quantitative and qualitative performance metrics associated with program results were identified with the help of numerous stakeholders working in a variety of government and private agencies across the country. A workshop was held initially to define and discuss a potential list of metrics that were then distributed to over 250 practitioners and stakeholders through a request for information. Feedback was solicited regarding which metrics should be kept, further refined, or dropped from further consideration. Some respondents also suggested new measures. The results were analyzed and the metrics were prioritized and narrowed down into a more manageable set of measures for implementation."--Technical report documentation page.

Book Synopsis Concepts for Managing Freeway Operations During Weather Events by :
Download or read book Concepts for Managing Freeway Operations During Weather Events written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to help the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) develop a structured, systematic approach for managing traffic during weather events. The focus in this research project was on common weather events - such as fog, high winds, heavy rains, and snow and ice storms - that impact traffic operations day-to-day. First, the authors conducted a survey of selected TxDOT districts to determine what information traffic management center (TMC) operators need to manage traffic operations during weather events. Through a review of the existing literature, the authors assessed systems and technologies that other states have deployed to manage traffic during weather-related events. They reviewed the current state of weather-related detection and monitoring technologies. Using historical traffic detector and weather information, they assessed the magnitude of the impact of different weather events on traffic operations. Using all this information, the authors developed concepts of operations for how TMC operators should respond to different types of weather-related events, including limited visibility conditions, ponding and flash flooding, high winds, severe thunderstorms, tornados, and winter storms. They developed a catalog of advisory, control, and treatment strategies (or ACTS) that operators could use to manage traffic operations during weather events.
Book Synopsis Where the Weather Meets the Road by : National Research Council
Download or read book Where the Weather Meets the Road written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather has broad and significant effects on the roadway environment. Snow, rain, fog, ice, freezing rain, and other weather conditions can impair the ability of drivers to operate their vehicles safely, significantly reduce roadway capacity, and dramatically increase travel times. Multiple roadway activities, from roadway maintenance and construction to shipping, transit, and police operations, are directly affected by inclement weather. Some road weather information is available to users currently, however a disconnect remains between current research and operations, and additional research could yield important safety and economic improvements for roadway users. Meteorology, roadway technology, and vehicle systems have evolved to the point where users could be provided with better road weather information through modern information technologies. The combination of these technologies has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of roadway operations, road capacity, and road safety. Where the Weather Meets the Road provides a roadmap for moving these concepts to reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather has a significant impact on the operations of the nation's roadway system year-round. To help improve weather impacts on our roadways the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service (NWS) have been working together to document the state-of-the-practice and working relationships between State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and the weather enterprise. The Pathfinder project was initiated in to document current State DOT interactions and working relationships with the weather enterprise (both NWS and private sector). The team documented best practices across the agencies to disseminate consistent messages about the weather and its impact on the roads. This document serves as a guidance document for improving the collaboration between State DOTs and the weather enterprise.

Download or read book Concept of Operations for Road Weather Connected Vehicle Applications written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather has a significant impact on the operations of the nation's roadway system year round. These weather events translate into changes in traffic conditions, roadway safety, travel reliability, operational effectiveness, and productivity. It is, therefore, an important responsibility of traffic managers and maintenance personnel to implement operational strategies that optimize system performance by mitigating the effects of weather on the roadways. Accurate, timely, route-specific weather information allows traffic and maintenance managers to better operate and maintain roads under adverse conditions. Connected vehicle technologies hold the promise to transform roadweather management. Road weather connected vehicle applications will dramatically expand the amount of data that can be used to assess, forecast, and address the impacts that weather has on roads, vehicles, and travelers; fundamentally changing the manner in which weather-sensitive transportation system management and operations are conducted. The US Department of Transportation's Road Weather Management Program has developed this Concept of Operations (ConOps) to define the priorities for connected vehicle-enabled road-weather applications.
Book Synopsis Utah DOT Weather Responsive Traffic Signal Timing by : Kevin Balke
Download or read book Utah DOT Weather Responsive Traffic Signal Timing written by Kevin Balke and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) has championed the cause of improving traffic operations and safety during weather events. The program’s current emphasis is to encourage agencies to be more proactive in the way that they manage traffic operations during weather events. Weather Responsive Traffic Management (WRTM) is the central component of the program’s efforts. WRTM involves the implementation of traffic advisory, control, and treatment strategies in direct response to or in anticipation of developing roadway and visibility issues that result from deteriorating or forecasted weather conditions. WRTM also includes using weather forecasting to provide proactive advisories, control, and maintenance strategies In 2011, the RWMP initiated a project to document recent developments in WRTM, identify improvements to the strategies, and develop implementable Concepts of Operations. As a follow-on task, three concepts were selected for further implementation and real-world deployment. This report describes the implementation of one particular concept relating to weather responsive traffic signal management by Utah DOT. The report contains the system design, operation, evaluation approach, findings and lessons learned from the implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project builds upon the earlier Human Factors Analysis of Road Weather Advisory and Control Information project which was initiated to assist transportation officials in communicating both pre-trip and en route road weather information effectively, consistently, and timely to meet the needs of travelers for different weather conditions and travel scenarios. This earlier project resulted in preliminary guidelines. For the current effort, these preliminary guidelines were disseminated to a broad group of transportation and road weather officials for review and use. These reviewers included staff from private agencies and State Department of Transportation staff working at Traffic Management Centers. Evaluation of the guidelines followed through end user surveys, on-site interviews and discussions, and application of the preliminary guidelines to assess their suitability and effectiveness for traffic operations. Valuable feedback provided by these end users was used to modify the preliminary guidelines and develop the revised guidelines presented here.
