Brief for Reliability Project L01: A Guide to Improving Travel Time Reliability by Integrating Business Processes

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that summarizes SHRP 2 Reliability Project L01, which addressed opportunities to employ highway operational efficiencies by making it easier for transportation and other agencies to coordinate their activities.

Reliability Project L01 produced a guide and a final report that synthesizes successful practices. The guide is designed to help managers within state and local agencies that are responsible for overseeing operations programs for traffic management, maintenance, traveler, information, and incident response and management.

A goal of Reliability research in SHRP 2 is to identify ways to reduce traffic congestion by improving highway operations and travel time reliability.
