Focus Areas of SCOH Strategic Plan and SSOM Updates
Mark S Bush, PE, PTOE SCOTE Annual Meeting
June 28, 2010
• The Federal Highway Trust Fund Today!!!!• Future Federal/State/Local Roles in Transport • Future Interstate Highway System• New Capacity: Highways, Transit, Rail, Aero, Ports• Net New Revenue for Transportation• !!!!! Reauthorization !!!!!• Credibility and Accountability of Transportation
Departments---System Safety and Reliability and Project Delivery on Time/Budget – Performance Metrics
• Future Transportation Workforce• System Preservation/Operation/Expansion• Congestion/Mobility/Safety/Global Warming
Critical Issues in Transportation
SCOH Strategic Plan
Guide SCOH for next four years 2010 – 2014
Capture important issues since 1998
•Two Overarching Objectives relate to:•Technical Services•Governance Issues
•Ten Specific Objectives:
SCOH Strategic Plan
• Ten Specific Objectives
• Cut fatalities in half by 2030• Congestion free America• System Preservation• Project Delivery• Freight• Performance Management• Workforce Planning and Development• Research and Emerging Technology• Climate Change• Communicating the Value of Transportation
Cut fatalities in half by 2030• Highway safety is a major public health challenge, 37,261 fatalities 2008.• All crashes - $230.6 B/yr; 2.3% GNP• Vision of TZD• Lead by SCOHTS; however other leads:• SSOM in conj also w NTIMC and NUG• 20-7(282) Research needs assessment for roadside workers and vehicle safety• ITS and IntelliDrive: V2I, significant focus V2V
Congestion free America
• $87.2 B drain on economy, 4.2 B hrs in traffic congestion•SSOM lead focus•Also in conjunction w NTOC and NTIMC NUG•3-94 Operations Guide•20-7(298) CoE for Operations•SHRP2 Reliability and L17 - KTN
System Preservation
•Innovative technologies and state of the art techniques• Asset management guide, SCOH and SCOP• New authorization initiative for Ops• 20-7(300) Synthesis of economic benefits for WM and operations• IntelliDrive
Project Delivery
• Support accelerated project delivery contributing to environmental streamlining efforts and promoting best practices.• 20-73, accelerating transportation program and project delivery – conception to completion.• SHRP Capacity• Operations Guide
Freight
• Support improvement of national freight network
• Multiple collaboration of standing and subcommittees
• SCOH Highway Transport
• 20-7(303) Synthesis of truck size and weight issues
Performance Management
• Facilitate a shift from process oriented program and project delivery system to an outcome based project and program.• Lead SCOPM w also significant collaboration of SCOH• 20-24(37) Performance metrics studies and recommendations
Performance MeasuresGoal Areas Candidate
Measures
May 2009
Recommended Measures
Oct 2009
National Goals
Issues
Safety A. Annual fatalities(3-5 yr. moving avg.)
B. Major injuries
A. Annual fatalities on a 3 yr moving avg.
B. Serious injuries
Reduce the national total by 50% in twenty years
Definition of serious and tech support
Preservation A. Pavement PSI or Remaining Service Life
B. Pavement IRI
C. Bridge % structurally deficient by deck area
A. IRI
B. Structural Condition (e.g.PSR or RSL )
C. Structurally Deficient Deck Area
Interstate and other NHS –no goal at this time
More uniform definition of pavement structural adequacy; national goals or targets need to be a function of funding levels
Performance MeasuresGoal Areas
Candidate Measures
May 2009
Recommended Measures
Oct 2009
National Goals
Issues
Congestion Travel time index; Travel delay; Total travel time;
Buffer Index;
Congestion Cost;
Economic Benefits
Travel delay
Travel delay per commuter (regional measure)
Congestion cost
Nothing yet .
Perhaps limit to certain Interstate or NHS routes of national significance
Geographic application.
Uniform measurement—”single” contractor,. Agreement on measures among states and MPOs
Systems Operations
Urban:traveltime
Reliability;
Snow removal time; Rural:Road closure index; Customer satisfaction
Planned incident (work zones and community events)
Unplanned incident (traffic crash, weather, other )
No national goals or national measures to be recommended
Measures to use and comparability
Performance MeasuresGoal Areas Candidate

Measures
Oct 2009
National Goals
Issues
Environment 1.GHG ( or surrogate based on VMT)
2.Climate change adaptation cost
3.Water quality
5 candidate areas that are being explored: greenhouse gases; storm water; ecosystems; recycled materials; timeliness
Need to agree on candidate measures
Freight/ Economics
1. Truck travel time time/speed/reliability
2. Border cross time
3. Double stack train bridge clearance; heavy train track capability
1. Reliability on urban SFC’s
2. Speed/Travel Time on SFC’s
3. Roadway Access measure
Defining SFC’s .Coordination with other task forces and MPO’s
Workforce Planning and Development
• Advancing knowledge and implementation of tools to address recruitment, retention succession planning and professional development.• 3-94 Operations Guide• UofMd Operations Academy• 20-77 Operations training framework• 20-86 Workforce needs training• SHRP2 Pre-Implementation ie L12
Research and Emerging Technology• Identify, develop and communicate standards and facilitate the use of emerging research.• HSM release!• SSOM and SCOTE – use of ITS…• IntelliDrive V2V V2I; NHTSA determination point• IntelliDrive Strategic Plan• IntelliDrive Deployment Plan• 3-101 IntelliDrive Deployment Strategies
Research and Emerging Technology• VIIC• IntelliDrive WG• IntelliDrive ELT• PFS Pooled Fund Study
•Focus•Infrastructure
•Signals, RSE, Comm, DSRC, hard/firmware, pavt monitoring, interoperability certification
•Safety•Intersection, roadside, RR Hwy grade crossings
•Mobility•Incident Mgt, Congestion Mgt, Emergency Response, RWIS, CVO, Freight Security and Transit Apps
Climate Change
• Identify disseminate information on new and emerging practices, materials and technologies.• SSOM SCOTE, main goal implementing technologies to lower energy consumption, reduce congestion and reduce costs.• Safety, signing, WZs, signals, design regulation and management.
Communicating the Value of Transportation
• Contribute to the efforts of the BOD to secure national support for revenue, communicate value of transportation.
• Multiple AASHTO publications
• Authorization recommendations
• 20-7(304) AASHTO Publications future roadmap.
