Agenda Incident Duration Highlights from last ITS working group meeting Progress report Action items Travel Time Reliability Highlights from last ITS working group meeting Progress report Action items Next steps

Incident Duration Concerns from Last Working Group Meeting Actions of partner agencies will not be included in timeline Time emergency vehicles arrive on the scene Incident investigation time by FHP FHP CAD system could be helpful for operations purposes Initially, reporting of incident duration will likely differ among Districts Roll out of SunGuide software Operators in different districts interpret the incident duration timestamps differently

Incident Duration Action Items Review incident duration definitions with each District and fine-tune to resolve misinterpretations Conduct pilot test for incident duration District 6 Plan for consistent training of operators across Districts Conduct QA/QC of incident duration results across Districts to identify anomalies

Incident Duration Progress Report Met with D6 SunGuide Transportation Management Center - March 10/11 Recommendations Document current SunGuide reports Provide validation of SunGuide reports Conduct Statewide Workshop Provide standard operating guidelines Conduct operations staff training on definitions

Travel Time Reliability Concerns from Last Working Group Meeting Connection between speed data and reliability unclear Method of calculating reliability not clear Concern that since districts don’t have data for roadways before the implementation of ITS, it won’t be possible to quantify the full benefits of ITS

Travel Time Reliability Action Items Conduct a reliability workshop with FDOT Districts to review FDOT definitions of reliability using actual data Pilot test for travel time reliability in one district

Travel Time Reliability Progress Report Met with D5 on February 12 Recommendations Create template for developing detector configuration file Create guidelines for detector quality and maintenance (statewide level) Define reporting templates Conduct training

Next Steps Conduct Incident Duration Teleconference with Districts within next 4 weeks Review timeline and definitions Clarify expectations for this reporting cycle Discuss concerns Conduct Reliability Teleconference within the next 2 months Review data and reporting Clarify expectations for this and next reporting cycles Discuss concerns

Next Steps (continued) Central Office Develop and implement Incident Duration Performance Measures Policy Develop detector data quality guidelines Develop training materials and plan Begin compiling data for 07/08 report to FTC
