Application of Wider Economic Benefits Tools on I-77 Active Traffic and Safety Management System Project

Daniela Gonzales

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Old Dominion University

Background

Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research (VCTIR) was awarded an incentive to implement the use Second Strategic Highway Research Programrsquos (SHRP2) Tools for Assessing Wider Economic Benefits (C11)

Review has found no prior work has been done to analyze the wider economic benefits of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) making this research one of the first instances

Several ITS project corridors were chosen to study of them I-77 Fancy Gap ATSMS

SHRP2 C11 Tools

Typical cost-benefit analysis tools for transportation projects measure traveler benefits (ie travel time travel cost and safety) SHRP2 C11 tools measure Wider Economic Benefits of

bull Reliability - travel time variability

bull Connectivity - intermodal facilities

bull Accessibility - economic value of market access

Conclusions amp Takeaways

bull The ITS project tested here resulted in limited wider economic benefits in terms of reliability and connectivity

bull We found that the tools themselves were simple to run and assess the results but gathering the information was not always simple nor data required was always straightforward

bull Overall SHPR2 C11 tools were not found suitable for planning and prioritizing of ITS projects at a statewide level

bull The ITS project tested here resulted in limited wider economic benefits in terms of reliability and connectivity

bull We found that the tools themselves were simple to run and assess the results but gathering the information was not always simple nor data required was always straightforward

bull Overall SHPR2 C11 tools were not found suitable for planning and prioritizing of ITS projects at a statewide level

Special thanks to Simona Babiceanu and Dr Emily Parkany whose great mentorship and encouragement made this research possible and to Brittany Hungate who also worked alongside me on the project
