TMS Emerging Topics Series: Monitoring and Reporting on Performance of Traffic Management Systems
October 8, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. EDT
Description
Performance monitoring, evaluation, and reporting is an essential task for traffic management systems (TMS) as they help determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. In order to provide useful performance information, it is important to define the subsystems, functions, actions, and services of a TMS that needs to be monitored, evaluated and reported on. In addition it is important to specify the scope of the TMS performance monitoring and reporting. These may include:
- TMS asset performance (e.g., number of system failures within a period of time, detector communication performance, etc.).
- Traffic impact performance (e.g., section travel times, section average speed, section throughput, etc.).
This webinar will be used to:
- Highlight key performance indicators that can be used to monitor, evaluate, and report on TMS performance considering which aspect of TMS performance (i.e., TMS assets performance or traffic impacts of TMS operations) to be reported on.
- Identify challenges or issues associated with developing a successful performance measurement program; identifying, collecting, processing, and archiving required data needed for performance monitoring and reporting; developing insightful and understandable TMS performance indicators; and other technical/institutional challenges regarding TMS performance monitoring and reporting.
This webinar is part of the Traffic Management Center Pooled Fund Study project on providing periodic educational webinars to TMS Pooled Fund Study members.
