Transportation Plan

A proposed set of aviation system performance measures that have been defined to support multimodal transportation planning in California is presented. As part of the 1998 update of the California Transportation Plan (CTP), the California Department of Transportation has defined a framework of system performance measures that could be applied on a multimodal basis to assess the performance of the transportation system, support informed decision making, and establish a coordinated and consistent process for performance measurement throughout the state. The research that is described examined approaches to measuring the performance of the aviation system that have been adopted at a national level and in other states, as well as general principles for measurement of transportation system performance that emerged from a conference held in 1997 as part of the CTP update process. The range of considerations that arise in measuring the performance of the aviation system is discussed, and potential performance measures that have been proposed to address the requirements of the CTP framework are identified. Finally, issues that will need to be addressed in implementing any comprehensive set of performance measures for the aviation component of the transportation system are discussed.

As in many cities, congestion in Washington, D.C., is one of the top concerns of residents, businesses, travelers, and policy makers. Monitoring and communicating system performance from a mobility perspective is challenging, particularly when dealing with the multimodal nature of travel in urban areas. The District Department of Transportation has identified a set of performance measures for multimodal mobility—including congestion—that are based on available data and is making these metrics available to the public and to policy makers through an innovative visualization tool. The study’s approach, measures, and visualization component provide a model for other jurisdictions to consider adopting when seeking to better understand and convey the challenges, opportunities, and interdependencies of multimodal travel.

In December 1993 Secretary of Transportation Federico Peña called for the creation of a National Transportation System (NTS). The goal of the NTS is to support national transportation planning and policy that maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's transportation network, in accordance with the mission of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). It is proposed that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) pursue this goal by designing an NTS that can monitor the performance of the nation's transportation network; detect national and regional problems with the transportation system; facilitate the setting of performance goals and measure progress over time; and aid states and metropolitan areas in performance-based planning. To do this, the NTS must evaluate the transportation network's performance in terms of moving passengers and goods and of achieving the goals of the system's users. Therefore, the NTS must have as its basis a set of performance measures that apply to different modes and that reflect the varied goals of ISTEA, in the areas of system output as well as the environmental, social, and economic outcomes of system usage. Such performance measures are proposed, as is a general decision-making framework for using them. The ISTEA legislation, the NTS initiative, and potential data sources for supporting these performance measures are also examined.

Transportation Plan

The state of Rhode Island had no plan for waterborne passenger transportation, even though the state sits astride Narragansett Bay and has several existing ferry operations. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) recognized the need to create such a plan to clarify the desired role of waterborne transportation in the state’s transportation system and the agency’s responsibility for its development. RIDOT undertook the development of a waterborne passenger transportation plan to guide decisions about capital investments, to provide a basis for seeking federal funding, and to assist ferry operators in their decisions about establishing or expanding services. The plan addresses a broad range of issues and includes a set of policies and actions for the state’s waterborne passenger transportation system.

Transportation Plan

Capital investment strategy is a term used by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for a set of performance-based programming tools, including goals, objectives, performance measures, and alternative investment scenarios. Performance-based programming was first tried by NJDOT in the 1989 long-range transportation plan. Performance measures and benchmark investment targets were assigned to program categories within expected resources over a 5-year period. This approach was updated and expanded beginning in 1996 as part of a redesign of NJDOT’s planning and programming processes. In 1998 a detailed capital investment strategy was linked to the governor’s “vision plan,” including goals and objectives for a 12-year period. Some of these objectives had performance measures related to system condition (outcomes), and others had simpler performance measures. In 2000 the legislature enacted a state trust fund reauthorization bill that required NJDOT to submit an annual capital investment strategy report as a companion document to the annual proposed capital program. The act also set out several specific goals that were to be included in the report. The March 1, 2001, capital investment strategy report, which concluded that some of these goals were not feasible, led to a lawsuit by transportation advocacy groups, which was later dismissed.

Growth trends in Minnesota emphasize the need to ensure that travel on highway corridors linking regional trade centers in the state is safe, reliable, and efficient. In 1999, the Minnesota Department of Transportation initiated an interregional corridor study to define a system of interregional corridors that connect important regional trade centers. Minnesota’s effort to develop the interregional corridor system, performance expectations, and principles and policies for managing and guiding development along these corridors is described. The interregional corridor system and the corresponding management principles and policies were developed in several phases: ( a) definition of regional trade centers, ( b) identification of the interregional corridor system, ( c) development of interregional corridor principles and policies, and ( d) development of a corridor management plan guide. The study developed performance measures and performance targets to identify mobility risk corridors, which are corridors that perform below target speed or have a risk of signal proliferation. Methods used at a sketch-planning level to identify priority routes and performance levels are described. The study developed a more uniform process for developing corridor management plans.

In this paper we analyze a tollbooth tandem queueing problem with an infinite number of servers. A customer starts service immediately upon arrival but cannot leave the system before all customers who arrived before him/her have left, i.e. customers depart the system in the same order as they arrive. Distributions of the total number of customers in the system, the number of departure-delayed customers in the system, and the number of customers in service at time t are obtained in closed form. Distributions of the sojourn times and departure delays of customers are also obtained explicitly. Both transient and steady state solutions are derived first for Poisson arrivals, and then extended to cases with batch Poisson and nonstationary Poisson arrival processes. Finally, we report several stochastic ordering results on how system performance measures are affected by arrival and service processes.
