District 3 ITS/Operational Improvement Plan

SACOG Regional Planning Partnership

May 22, 2013

ITS/Operational Improvement Plan

Why is this Plan Needed?

1. Develop consistent process for continuous effectiveness

– Investment strategy and portfolio instead of a list

– Produce complementary and collective projects

– Understand and convey value of the projects for prioritization

– More systematic/transparent and less random process

– Whole team knowing the game plan and end game

2. Achieve measurable desired outcomes for mutual benefits

– Achieve benefits every year progressively and accumulatively

2

System Optimization (Game Plan)

• Develop Concept of Operations ConOps will provide a unified direction

for TMS development and operational

improvement program based on

Department’s goals and addressing

regional transportation needs.

Project Overview

ITS and Operational Improvement Plan

1. Maintain inventory of ITS/operational improvement projects

2. Concept of Operations congruency

3. Prioritization of the projects

4. Selection recommendation for funding

Benefits of ITS & Operational Improvements

Key Classes of Benefits (End Game)

� Increased Safety (preventing accidents)

� Improved Operational Performance (maximizing capacity by improving throughput)

� Enhanced Mobility and Convenience (reducing congestion)

� Improved Environmental Outcomes (reducing fuel consumption and emissions)

� Boosted Productivity and Economic Growth (reducing travel times and fuel costs)

6

Benefits of ITS & Operational Improvements

Make California’s Transportation System More Intelligent (End Game)

� Travelers and Goods Get Where They Need To Go Safely, On Time

� Provide Choice and Control to Travelers

� Provide Necessary Integrated Systems & Tools for System Managers

� Make Best Use of Limited Funds

Benefits of ITS & Operational Improvements

Caltrans Vision

(Game Plan)

MTC Director:

“Rather than asphalt lanes that are left

to function on their own, a modern

freeway is one in which performance is

monitored continuously, operation is

adjusted minute by minute, incidents

are cleared quickly, and motorists are

provided up-to-date information before

and during their trips.”

Benefits of ITS & Operational Improvements

Optimization (Game Plan)

• Build Project Inventory (in layers – future focus)

MTC Director:

“Operating the entire transportation

network as a whole, rather than each

system in isolation as is done now, is

the next leap forward in achieving

efficient use and management of our

constrained infrastructure.”

Here now Near future

Interchange Modification

Multiple phase project to reconstruct 1) the Oak Park IC, 2) the W-X portion of Rt-50 and

3) the River Front IC in City of Sacramento. This project would reconstruct freeway-to-

freeway direct connectors and add HOV direct connectors to the Oak Park Interchange.

Corridor Example

Optimization (US50 Example)

• Determine Prioritization (and Sequencing)

– Qualitative Assessment

� Congruent with Concept of Operations

� Address issues (high-medium-low)

� Expected desired outcome (high-medium-low)

– Quantitative Assessment

� Valuation (benefit-cost analysis)

– Sequencing

� Address downstream bottlenecks/congestion first

� High benefit versus low cost

Why is Project Needed

1. Develop consistent process for continuous effectiveness

– Investment strategy and portfolio instead of a list

– Produce complementary and collective projects

– Understand and convey value of the projects for prioritization

– More systematic/transparent and less random process (cradle to grave)
