摘要: This report presents the Phase II (Baseline) results for the national evaluation of the FY 2003 Earmarked ITS Integration Project: Minnesota Traveler Information Guidance and Emergency Routing (TIGER) project. This Phase II Report builds upon the Minnesota TIGER Final Evaluation Plan and Detailed Test Plan by providing a preliminary assessment of the Minnesota TIGER project. The report is intended to provide the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) ITS Joint Program Office (JPO) with: an update on the current deployment status of the project; a summary of available data and baseline (pre-deployment) performance measures; an identification of preliminary lessons learned from the deployment; and an assessment of the opportunity for continued evaluation of the project. The TIGER project is intended to provide traffic management and traveler information strategies and tools that can be used on a daily basis and to support emergency routing during evacuation conditions. The project is being deployed on the Interstate 94 and the parallel Highway 10 corridor, and is characterized by both urban and rural elements. Mn/DOT is seeking to improve the mobility and safety of travel along the corridor via improved monitoring of real-time conditions by operations personnel at the traffic management centers (TMC); the dissemination of enhanced traveler information to travelers; and the integrated operation of the two primary roadways to proactively manage diversion during incident conditions. These capabilities are intended to be provided through the implementation and integration of a number of freeway management, traffic surveillance, arterial signal control, and traveler information (dynamic message signs (DMS)) strategies. The Mn/DOT TIGER project evaluation consists of a study of system impacts and the development of lessons learned. Through the cooperative efforts and support of the Mn/DOT TIGER Project Program Manager, the Phase II evaluation resulted in the collection and analysis of selected baseline performance measures, preliminary lessons learned from the deployment, and an assessment of the evaluation opportunities and risks. The incident data from November 2006 through November 2007 yielded hundreds of incidents. However, only four met the criteria for severity, direction of travel, time of day, and most importantly, proximity to operational traffic detectors. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Department of Transportation, Washington, DC.
