• Abstract:
  Travel delays and associated costs have become a major problem in Michigan over the ; past several decades as congestion has continued to increase, creating significant negative ; impacts on travel reliability on many roadways throughout the State. The Michigan Department ; of Transportation (MDOT) possesses the capability to distribute real-time travel time, speed, and ; reliability related information to the public through a variety of communication channels. If ; properly conveyed, such information would help facilitate necessary trip planning decisions both ; before and during a trip. Research was performed to develop appropriate communication ; techniques for distribution of travel reliability and related information to travelers through the ; MDOT MiDrive website based on the needs of users of the transportation network in Michigan. ; A number of tasks were performed to achieve this objective, including surveys of travelers, ; commuters, and the freight industry, in addition to the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice ; reviews. Synthesis of the information obtained from these tasks allowed for conclusions and ; recommendations to be drawn, including recommended techniques for reliability measurement – ; specifically buffer time and planning time – in addition to strategies for communication of this ; information through the MiDrive website.
