• 9 Case Studies from 2013-14• Spans NJ through NC• Test extent of probe data
>20K AADT & 2+ lanes• Range of signal density and access• Objective: Reference case studies

Arterial Probe Data Recommendations - 2013
Likely to have usable probe data (GOOD)
Possibly usable probe data (MIXED)
Unlikely probe data is usable (POOR)
• AADT >40000 &• 2+ lanes &• <= 1 signals per mile• Principal Arterials
(HPMS)• Limited Curb cuts
• AADT >20000 &• 2+ lanes &• <= 2 signals per mile• Minor Arterials
(HPMS) • Should be tested
• Low volume, < 20K AADT or
• >=2 signals per mile• Major Collectors
(HPMS)• Not recommended
22
• Probe data is anticipated to improve in time• Increased probe density and better processing
• As Probe data degrades, delay is underestimated• As probe technology matures, measured delay may increase• Challenged by queuing or cycle failure• Not sensitive to / confused by bi-modal traffic patterns
3/25/2015
www.I95Coalition.org I-95 Corridor Coalition Travel Information Services PTC
Arterial Data Quality - 2014
23
• Expectations are running ahead of reality – Probe data works on highest class arterials– Use with caution on mid class and below
• Queuing and cycle failures remain challenging
• Travel time is the measure of choice– Point pair processing is critical– Distribution of travel time also needed– CDF’s tell a concise story
• Facilitates before/after, degradation in time, compare difference facilities, different signal timings

Using VPP Suite Trend Maps for Holiday/Event Travel Planning
3/25/2015
31
• Trend Maps – Part of the VPP Suite– Interactive & animated– Can be embedded in
agency websites & distributed in press releases
– Help inform motorists about historical travel conditions, such as just before, during, & after major holidays.
– Intent is to inform motorist about expected conditions and allow them to make better departure decisions.

Webcast Summary: Using VPP Suite Trend Maps for Holiday/Event Travel Planning
3/25/2015
32
• The result of a Coalition project, working with NCDOT, VDOT and UMD CATT Lab, to provide an easier way for member agencies to provide travel information.
• Held in December 2014
• 40+ persons from DOTs & MPOs participated
• Participants learned how to use trend maps for travel info notices for holidays & other major events.
• Thanks to the presenters – Kelly Wells (NCDOT), Wenjing Pu (MWCOG), Mena Lockwood (VDOT) & Michael VanDaniker (UMD CATT Lab).

Winter Weather (ATMS/ATIS) in Mid-Atlantic/Southern
Regions
3/25/2015
33
Kelly Wells, NCDOT & TISPTC Co-Chair
www.I95Coalition.org I-95 Corridor Coalition Travel Information Services PTC
Project Overview
3/25/2015 34
• Determine best practices for collecting & disseminating weather related travel conditions by public agencies focusing on Mid‐Atlantic & Southern Regions. 1. Conducted a workshop with agencies to identify
current practices in these states. (Participating states: PA, MD, VA, NC, SC, TN)
2. Conducted a scan of DOT Travel Info websites to determine the data and format of the road conditions due to winter weather.
www.I95Coalition.org I-95 Corridor Coalition Travel Information Services PTC
Workshop Purpose & Questions
3/25/2015 35
Workshop Purpose:• Discuss the current travel info practices for winter weather events in
regions that do not frequently experience severe winter weather including the Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions
• Establish basic functional requirements for an ATMS/ATIS system that would be useful for agencies in these regions.
Main Discussion Questions:• How do you collect data on road conditions due to winter weather?• What winter weather road condition information do you provide to
the public?• Looking ahead, what changes might you make to how you collect
and disseminate winter weather related road conditions?
www.I95Coalition.org I-95 Corridor Coalition Travel Information Services PTC
Basic Functional Requirements
3/25/2015 36
What should DOTs look for in new ATMS software:
– Frequency of reporting – Road conditions & granularity – providing more than the public
needs but information good for DOT employees– If road condition information is too general the public might lose
something– Standard definitions– Coverage – what about conditions of county and city roads?– How to communicate completion of events– Include all hazards (flooding, debris, etc.)– How should we be using Social Media?
www.I95Coalition.org I-95 Corridor Coalition Travel Information Services PTC
Winter Weather (ATMS/ATIS) in Mid-Atlantic/Southern Regions
Next Steps
3/25/2015 37
• Share and post project results with all TISPTC agency members.
• Continue discuss among agencies as appropriate during future TISPTC & other Coalition program activities

Stay Informed & Make Your Voice Heard
Connected Vehicle Pooled Fund Study• Started in 2009
– 14 Core Members
• Purpose - To aid transportation agencies in justifying and promoting the large scale deployment of Connected Transportation Systems through modeling, development, engineering and planning activities.
• 3 Ongoing Projects– Multi-Modal Intelligent Traffic Signal System [Ongoing]– Tracking the Status of CV Test Beds Deployment [Ongoing]– Surveying/Mapping for CV Applications [Ongoing]– Road Weather Reporting [On Hold]– TMCs in a Connected Environment [Completed]
AASHTO Deployment Coalition• Purpose - Created in 2004 to discuss the technological
development, business cases, and outreach associated with connected vehicles. 3/25/2015 57
Try To Understand The Implications
• 14,000 Traffic Signals– Only 9 are owned by the DOT– 1,000 Electro-mechanical– 2,000 have backhaul
$722,400,000 for PA
3/25/2015 58
Try To Understand The Implications
• 40,000 miles– Assume average DSRC range of ¼ mile (radius)– 80,000 RSU for 100% coverage
• $17,600 x 80,000 = $1,408,000,000
• DSCR vs. Cellular/Satellite
