Abstract:The etool can be found on the TRB website by following this link: http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/170579.aspx
The research team developed an e-tool that can be used by practitioners for planning, implementing, integrating, and analyzing business processes to improve travel time reliability. From the feedback obtained from the pilot testing, practitioners indicate that the e-tool can help them by providing valuable outputs that can be used by agency business processes to allocate resources and funding to advance operations. Additionally, the agencies acknowledged that the e-tool pilot study sessions provided agencies an opportunity to help identify areas where operations might be improved or better integrated through the business processing mapping portion of its seven-step process.
The results of the L34 research project are directly applicable to the SHRP 2 Reliability area’s objectives. The e-tool will help state departments of transportations (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and local transportation agencies evaluate where they stand with respect to their business processes related to advancing operations and therefore enhancing travel time reliability. The e-tool has the potential to be a valuable application of results of the SHRP 2 Reliability program because it was designed to be intuitive, easy to use, and directly applicable to the business of a state DOT, MPO, or local agency. The final e-tool product will be hosted by the research team until the final home of the product is finalized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB). Designing the tool as an electronic product helps ensure its use and applicability in today’s environment. However, as
with any research product, implementation is important.
