IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ORLANDO-ORANGE COUNTY EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY'S PERFORMANCE MONITORING PROGRAM CONCEPT

摘要

The availability of real-time probe-based travel time data throughout the Orlando-OrangernCounty Expressway Authority's (OOCEA) system, in combination with OOCEA's datarnarchiving and reporting capabilities, has made it possible for OOCEA to initiate developmentrnof a network performance monitoring system. While the ability to monitor systemrnperformance in real-time is important to support operations and traveler informationrnfunctions, the capability to conduct "after the fact" analysis and reporting of performance isrnnecessary to evaluate the long term effectiveness of operations and planning-relatedrnmanagement decisions. Internally, OOCEA staff can use the system to evaluate the state ofrnexpressway operations, the effectiveness of incident management activities, and provide a toolrnfor conducting before/after analyses on the effect of system improvements on customers'rntravel experiences. Externally, the system can be used to communicate the value provided byrnOOCEA to its customers, as well as offer a tool that provides expressway customers with thernability to make more informed travel choices.
