Innovative Solution Helps NEXTRANS Model Travel-Time Reliability
Researchers at Purdue University and the NEXTRANS Center (Region V Regional University Transportation Center) are applying cutting-edge technology to develop a model that can accurately measure travel-time reliability. This model may provide a new basis for transportation professionals to monitor the performance and benefits of activities implemented on roadway networks.
Travel-time reliability is a key performance measure in any transportation system. It affects the routes commuters choose, impacts the on-time reliability of freight shipments, and reflects the efficiency of the transportation system to serve citizens, businesses, and visitors.
