2. Outline • Portland, Oregon Regional Approach • Freeway Performance • Arterial Performance • Environmental Performance

3. Portland, Oregon - USA

4. Portland, Oregon - USA

5. Portland, Oregon - USA Population 2.2 million

6. A Regional Approach • TransPort ITS Coordinating Committee

7. PORTAL -- The Portland Region’s Archived Data User Service (ADUS)

8. What’s in the PORTAL Database? Loop Detector Data 20 s count, lane occupancy, speed from 500 detectors (1.2 mi spacing) Incident Data 140,000 since 1999 Bus Data 1 year stop level data 140,000,000 rows Weather Data Every day since 2004 001590 Days Since July 2004 About +700 GB 6.9 Million Detector Intervals VMS Data 19 VMS since 1999 WIM Data 22 stations since 2005 30,026,606 trucks Crash Data All state-reported crashes since 1999 - ~580,000

9. Freeway Performance

10. Performance Measures Used • Volume • Speed • Occupancy • Vehicle Miles Traveled • Vehicle Hours Traveled • Travel Time • Delay • Reliability

11. Interstate 5 Northbound About 38.6 kilometers

17. Arterial Performance

18. Objective • Develop an automated way to report • Speeds • Travel times • Performance measures • Using • Existing ITS signal infrastructure • Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) data

19. Speed Map Generated from TriMet Bus AVL System Data Only

20. Midpoint Method Using 5-Minute Data Signalized Intersections

21. Adjust Influence Areas Manually Signalized Intersections

22. Bus Data Confirms Adjustment Signalized Intersections

23. Reveals Gaps in Detection Signalized Intersections

24. New Occupancy Map From Combined Sources Signalized Intersections

25. An Improvement Over Mid-Point Method Signalized Intersections

26. Obstacles • System Signal Detector • Very Limited Aggregation • Access to Real Time Data • Limited Detection & Spacing • Bus • Access to Real Time Data

27. Next Step • System Signal Detector • Cycle level data (Gresham, OR – SCATS) • Bus • TriMet Buses Can Be Probes • Extensive Network Coverage • Opportunity to Evaluate Multiple Routes on Same Arterial

28. Glossary MAC Address: a 48 bit (>28 trillion) unique address assigned to a device by its manufacturer. Bluetooth: a wireless protocol utilizing short-range communications technology facilitating data transmission over short distances from fixed and/or mobile devices

29. Estimated Travel Time Example Not always a trivial distinction…some thought needs to be given to geometrics/physics

30. Powell Blvd Corridor Bluetooth reader locations

31. Travel Times(13th <-> 53rd ) Eastbound TT (Min) West bound TT (Min)

32. Environmental Performance

33. Arterial Fusion Project • Create framework to fuse • Bus Probe Data • Matched Vehicle Probe Data • Adaptive Signal System Data • Private Sector Data? • In to one complete picture

34. Sustainability Performance Measures Using Archived ITS Data: • Emissions Estimates • Fuel Consumption • Cost of Delay • Person Mobility (PMT, PHT, PHD)

35. Emissions Measure Methodology

36. Hourly CO2 Estimate I-5 MP 302.5 (1.4 mile section)

37. CO Emissions From Congestion I-5 MP 302.5 (1.4 mile section)

MOBILE 6.2 Improvements and caveats • New facility-specific drive cycles recorded in modern American cities • Updated vehicles, emissions rates, regulatory programs, and driver behaviors • Fuel consumption and CO2 estimates not speed-dependent (only based on fuel and fleet data) • Non-specified parameters default to national averages (many county-specific data available from the EPA)
