Performance Measurements of Transportation Systems based on Fine-Grained Data Collected by AVI and AVL Systems

项目名称：	Performance Measurements of Transportation Systems based on Fine-Grained Data Collected by AVI and AVL Systems
摘要：	Performance measurement is an important component of the planning and operation of transportation systems. The anticipated federal reauthorization legislation will put a very strong emphasis on performance measurement, requiring states and local agencies to establish and achieve performance targets. Increasingly, transportation agencies have been interested in utilizing data collected from point traffic detectors installed as parts of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) for the estimation of transportation system performance measures and the use of these measures in the active management of transportation systems. The deployments of these point detectors are becoming common on freeway facilities, particularly in urban areas. Some agencies have utilitzed or are considering the utilization of Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technologies for estimating travel time in real-time applications. Initially, this has occurred on tolled facilities based on electronic toll collection (ETC) readers installed to support traffic management operations, as is the case with the ETC readers installed to estimate travel time on the Florida Turnpike System and those installed on the facilities of the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA). More recently, there has been an increasing interest in the use of AVI technologies by other agencies; particularly due to the availability of more cost effective technologies such as Bluetooth. These technologies are now being deployed or considered for deployment on both freeways and urban street networks. This project will investigate the opportunities for more detailed performance measurements of transportation systems based on AVI, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), and Automated People Counters (APC) data and the utilization of derived measures for active performance management of the transportation systems. The specific objectives of the project are: (1) Utilize individual vehicle data collected by AVI systems to estimate various performance measures of highway networks and demonstration of the use of these measures for the active management of highway system performance; and (2) utilize transit vehicle AVL data to estimate the performance measures of transit systems and demonstration of the use of these measures for the active management of highway system performance.
