Overview
As a capstone project in the Reliability program, SHRP 2 Project L17, A Framework for Improving Travel Time Reliability, is intended to integrate products from other SHRP 2 projects as well as from other current sources of transportation systems management and operations (TSM&O) information.
The main objectives of SHRP 2 Project L17 are the following:
- Provide the means for mainstreaming reliability findings and products.
- Develop diverse “value of Reliability/TSM&O” messaging pieces.
- Provide an accessible synthesis of reliability findings and products.
- Develop a user-driven comprehensive Knowledge Transfer System (KTS).
- Develop Reliability/TSM&O branding and a marketing plan for the KTS.
To accomplish these objectives, the project has been divided into three tracks:
- Content Building;
- KTS; and
- Branding and Communication.
This report presents the results of the four project phases dealing with (1) Synthesis, (2) Gap Analysis, (3) Gap Filling, and (4) the KTS and the work activities that have been completed to achieve the project objectives. The key recommendations and findings that have been developed are identified in the remainder of this executive summary
