5 Truck Delay per Mile (key ranking measure) Annual hours of truck delay divided by section length Planning Time Index (reliability) Ratio of 95 th percentile travel time to uncongested travel time Annual Congestion Cost Value of wasted time and fuel

6 Delay per Mile (000) Houston Truck All Vehicles #1 IH-10 (IH-610 to IH-45) (#17) #3 IH-10 (SL8W to IH610W) (#21) #7 US-59 (IH-10 to SH-288) (#2) #8 US-59 (SH-288 to IH-610W) (#3) Dallas #4 IH-635 (IH-35E to US-75) (#5) #6 IH-345 (US-75 to IH-30) (#16) Fort Worth #5 IH-35W (IH-30 to SH-183) (#4) #9 IH-35W (SH-183 to US-81) (#14) Austin #2 IH-35 (SH-71 to US-183) (#1) San Antonio #10 IH-35 (SL-1604 to FM-3009) (#37) Why show these 10?

7 Annual Person-Hours Delay per Mile (Thousands) Truck Delay per Mile for Top 100 Truck Bottlenecks Approximately 65% of delay in Top Rank

8 Truck Delay (million hours) Cost (million dollars) IH $195 IH $145 IH $60 IH $54 IH-35W 0.6 $45 Top $671 Top $900 All-Vehicle Delay Top 100 All Vehicle $3,280

9 Planning Time Index (95 th percentile) IH IH IH IH IH-35W 9.91 Top Top PTI of 3.00 means trucker has to allocate 300% of uncongested trip time to be on time 95% of the time (i.e., time needed to make 19 of 20 deliveries).

10 Cornerstone of Texas Freight Mobility Plan Defines an allmode Texas Freight Network Transportation corridors Key freight generators and gateways Source: Texas Freight Advisory Committee Slides, Amarillo, Oct 2013

11 So what do our measurements mean for the TFN? TFN is x% of TxDOT-network.. 60% of VMT 70% of truck VMT 27% of mileage

12 Top 50 truck bottlenecks 18 roadways (corridors) 14 sections on IH-35 8 sections on IH-10 4 sections each on IH-45 and US-59 Top 5 TFN corridors (in cost) IH-35 (14 sections) 2.6M hours, $195M IH-10 (8 sections) 1.9M hours, $145M IH-635 (3 sections) 0.8M hours, $60M IH-45 (4 sections) 0.7M hours, $54M US-59 (4 sections) 0.6M hours, $45M

13 Top 50 truck bottlenecks total $671M in lost operating costs and wasted fuel Top 50 truck bottlenecks spread across 18 roadway corridors with IH-35 containing the most at 14 sections.

14 Time-of-day profile for truck volumes differs from mixed vehicle Data Source: FHWA Office of Policy Information and state DOTs, and TTI analysis

15 Seeing differences in travel speeds between mixed vehicle and trucks in probe data Urban arterials more-so than rural interstates Weekends (Sat, Sun, late Fri) more-so than weekdays Urbanized areas rather than small urban or large urban Peaks more-so than off-peak periods Truck reference speed Will be incorporated in next TxDOT 100 Most Congested Roadways list

16 Get as much service as possible from what you have Truck incident management Add capacity in critical corridors Change usage patterns Provide choices Diversify development patterns Realistic expectations

17 Delay savings by treatment type Freeway Ramp Metering 42M hours Freeway Incident Mgmt. 165M hours Arterial Signal Coord. 29M hours Arterial Access Mgmt. 96M hours HOV 42M hours Totals 374M hours $8.5B Public Transportation 1,737 hours $20.8B Source: 2012 Urban Mobility Report

18 Monitoring performance What if? Project prioritization, decision-making Special events, what is the effect of X? Related policy/funding decisions

19 Understand time required to traverse network Understand risk by using variability of travel times Travel time by time-of-day to help schedule delivery routes Avoiding particular bottlenecks to improve efficiency Distribution center location

20 Texas is on the national scene Interest in what Texas is doing per performance measures/freight for decisionmaking Lots of opportunity Improving datasets Expanding/integrating modes

21 Congestion impacts on trucking measurable and substantial Provides input to decision-making Supports freight planning efforts at TxDOT Data are continuously improving Texas in an enviable position
