E-Tool for Business Processes to Improve Travel Time Reliability

This report documents and presents the approach to and the results of the development of an e-tool to assist transportation agencies when evaluating their processes to improve travel time reliability. The e-tool design was based on the research conducted in the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) L01 project, Integrating Business Processes to Improve Travel Time Reliability. It directly follows the seven step process outlined in the L01 guide, as well as utilizes the case studies completed in the report. This report details the functional requirements, software architecture, and content development for the tool. Pilot testing was conducted at two locations, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and the North Central Texas Council of Governments in Dallas, Texas. The New Hampshire location evaluated their Weather Management Program process and the Dallas location evaluated their Traffic Incident Management process. Details and feedback from these testing groups were incorporated into the final product of the L34 e-tool.
