Staffing and Training Needs for Managed Lane Facilities

Release : 2005
Category : High occupancy vehicle lanes
ISBN :
Book Description
A managed lane facility is one that increases freeway efficiency by packaging various operational and design actions. Operating agencies may adjust lane management operations at any time to better match regional goals. However, as a new concept in operating freeways, managed lanes has a limited experience base, creating a knowledge vacuum in emerging key areas that are critical for effective implementation. The potential complexities associated with user groups and operational options will require agencies to have an appropriate number of qualified staff to ensure adequate oversight of operations and to ensure satisfactory customer service to the users. Thus, the task documented in this report identifies those staffing needs related to operational options and training that might be required to ensure those staff are fully prepared to perform their duties to the satisfaction of both the agency and the customer. Other issues addressed are the roles of job positions within the framework of managed lanes, the competencies required of those positions, and accessibility to appropriate training, education, and technical assistance to ensure these needs are met.

Decision Framework for Selection of Managed Lanes Strategies

Book Description
This report documents the development of a decision support methodology that accomplishes two objectives: (1) sorts out the relationships between managed lanes concepts and strategies, and (2) maps the knowledge territory in order to identify gaps. In conjunction with this particular research task, a user-friendly preliminary screening tool has been developed to assist the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in identifying managed lanes strategy options very early in the conceptual planning process. The framework for the decision support methodology is the backbone for the Managed Lanes Handbook, which offers the resources and guidance to develop a managed lanes project, addressing characteristics unique to individual facilities. This report also summarizes the evolution of managed lanes in Texas over the last five years, the legislative initiatives that have shaped TxDOTs current approach to implementation, and the gaps in the knowledge base that still leave many questions unanswered. At the national level managed lanes are a relatively new and emerging concept. However, TxDOT has led the nation in research and development with two highoccupancy toll (HOT) lanes and 10 freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities in operation and over a dozen managed lanes projects currently under development in 10 Texas cities. Even with the experience to date, there are still many unanswered questions related to the long-term operation of managed lanes and numerous unknown factors that will require further research and documented practical experience through diligent monitoring and evaluation of facilities as they are implemented.

Intermediate Access to Buffer-separated Managed Lanes

Book Description
The objective of this Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) research project was to develop guidance materials on intermediate access to a buffer-separated toll lane. To develop the material, researchers gathered other state guidelines, reviewed the literature, and recorded operations at five intermediate access sites. From videotapes of the sites, characteristics of approximately 8400 vehicles that moved into or out of the managed lane were recorded. Examples of the characteristics measured included where the vehicle entered or left the lane (early, within the opening, or late) and the lane of origin for the vehicle. Volume counts for 5-minute periods were associated with each maneuver.

Book Description
A multi-disciplinary approach to transportation planning fundamentals The Transportation Planning Handbook is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference that presents the fundamental concepts of transportation planning alongside proven techniques. This new fourth edition is more strongly focused on serving the needs of all users, the role of safety in the planning process, and transportation planning in the context of societal concerns, including the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. The content structure has been redesigned with a new format that promotes a more functionally driven multimodal approach to planning, design, and implementation, including guidance toward the latest tools and technology. The material has been updated to reflect the latest changes to major transportation resources such as the HCM, MUTCD, HSM, and more, including the most current ADA accessibility regulations. Transportation planning has historically followed the rational planning model of defining objectives, identifying problems, generating and evaluating alternatives, and developing plans. Planners are increasingly expected to adopt a more multi-disciplinary approach, especially in light of the rising importance of sustainability and environmental concerns. This book presents the fundamentals of transportation planning in a multidisciplinary context, giving readers a practical reference for day-to-day answers. Serve the needs of all users Incorporate safety into the planning process Examine the latest transportation planning software packages Get up to date on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes Developed by The Institute of Transportation Engineers, this book is the culmination of over seventy years of transportation planning solutions, fully updated to reflect the needs of a changing society.

Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 684: Enhancing Internal Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-Use Developments explores an improved methodology to estimate how many internal trips will be generated in mixed-use developments - trips for which both the origin and destination are within the development. The methodology estimates morning and afternoon peak-period trips to and from six specific land use categories: office, retail, restaurant, residential, cinema, and hotel. The research team analyzed existing data from prior surveys and collected new data at three mixed-use development sites. The resulting methodology is incorporated into a spreadsheet model, which is available online for download.
