Diamond interchanges are frequently used where a freeway intersects a two-way surface street. Most of the techniques to evaluate the performance of diamond interchanges rely on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), simulation, Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPMs), and historical crash data. HCM and simulation techniques require on-site data collection to obtain models’ inputs. ATSPMs need high-resolution controller event data acquired from roadway sensing equipment. Safety studies typically need 3 to 5 years of crash data to provide statistically significant results. This study utilizes commercially available connected vehicle (CV) data to assess the performance and operation of a three- and four-phase diamond interchange located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Dallas, Texas, respectively. Over 92,000 trajectories and 1,400,000 GPS points are analyzed from August 2020 weekdays CV data. Trajectories are linear-referenced to generate Purdue Probe Diagrams (PPDs) from which arrivals on green (AOG), split failures, downstream blockage, and movement-based control delay are estimated. In addition, an extension of the PPD is presented that characterizes the complete journey of a vehicle travelling through both signals of the diamond interchange. This enhanced PPD is a significant contribution as it provides an analytical framework and graphical summary of the operational characteristics of how the external movements traverse the entire system. The four-phase control showed high internal progression (99% AOG) compared to the moderate internal progression of the three-phase operation (64% AOG). This is consistent with the design objectives of three- and four-phase control models, but historically these quantitative AOG measures were not possible to obtain with just detector data. Additionally, a graphical summary that illustrates the spatial distribution of hard-braking and hard-acceleration events is also provided. The presented techniques can be used by any ag

Continuous flow intersections (CFIs), also known as displaced left turns (DLTs), are a type of alternative intersection designed to improve operations at locations with heavy left-turn movements by reallocating these vehicles to the left side of opposing traffic. Currently, simulation is commonly used to evaluate operational performance of CFIs. However, this approach requires significant on-site data collection and is highly dependent on the analyst’s ability to correctly model the intersection and driver behavior. Recently, connected vehicle (CV) trajectory data has become widely available and presents opportunities for the direct measurement of traffic signal performance measures. This study utilizes CV trajectory data to analyze the performance of a CFI located in West Valley City, UT. Over 4500 trajectories and 105,000 GPS points are analyzed from August 2021 weekday data. Trajectories are linear-referenced to generate Purdue Probe Diagrams (PPDs) and extended PPDs to estimate split failures (SF), arrivals on green (AOG), traditional Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) level of service (LOS), and the distribution of stops. The estimated operational performance showed effective progression during the PM peak period at all the critical internal storage areas with AOG levels at exit traffic signals between 83% and 100%. In contrast, all external approaches with longer queue storage areas had AOG values ranging from 2% to 81% during the same time period. The presented analytical techniques and summary graphics provide practitioners with tools to evaluate the performance of any CFI where CV trajectories are available without the need for on-site data collection.

Historically, researchers and practitioners have utilized spot speeds and microscopic simulation methodologies to evaluate the operational impact of differential or uniform speed limits for trucks and passenger vehicles. This paper presents a methodology that uses connected truck data to develop a statistical characterization of both passenger car and truck speeds. These techniques were applied to three adjacent states, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Illinois and Ohio have 70 mph speed limits for both trucks and cars. Indiana has a differential speed limit for heavy trucks (65 mph) and passenger cars (70 mph). The statistical distribution of truck speeds was then compared among Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. These speeds were derived from over 8 million connected truck records traveling along Interstate 70 in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio during a one-week period from May 8-14, 2022. Statistical test results over selected 20-mile sections in each state showed that median truck speeds in Indiana with its differential speed limit of 65 mph were only 1 - 2 mph lesser than the neighboring states of Illinois and Ohio who observe a uniform speed limit of 70 mph for all traffic.

Commercially available connected vehicle (CV) probe data has been demonstrated to provide scalable and near-real-time methodologies to evaluate the performance of road networks for various applications. However, one of the major concerns of probe data for agencies is data sampling, particularly during low-volume overnight hours. This paper reports on an evaluation that looked at both connected passenger cars and connected trucks. This study analyzed 40 continuous count stations in Indiana that recorded more than 10.8 million vehicles and more than 13 million trips (3 billion records) from CV data over a 1-week period from May 9th to 15th in 2022. The average truck penetration was observed to be 3.4% during overnight hours from 1 AM to 5 AM when the connected passenger car penetration was at the lowest. When both connected trucks and connected car penetration were analyzed, the overall CV penetration was 6.32% on interstates and 5.30% on non-interstate roadways. The paper concludes by recommending that both connected car and connected truck data be used by agencies to increase penetration and reduce the hourly variation in CV penetration. This is particularly important during overnight hours.

Updates to traffic signal timing plans are expected to either improve operations or mitigate the effects of increased volumes. Longitudinal before-after studies are important when validating changes to traffic signal systems, but they have historically required field data collection as well as deployment of extensive detection and communication equipment. These infrastructure-based techniques are costly and hard to scale. This study utilizes commercially available connected vehicle (CV) trajectory data to assess the change in performance between August 2020 and August 2021 on a 22-intersection corridor associated with the implementation of a semi-automated adaptive control system. Approximately 1 million trajectories and 13.5 million GPS points are analyzed for weekdays in August 2020 and August 2021. The vehicle trajectory data is used to compute corridor travel times and linear referenced relative to the far side of each intersection to generate Purdue Probe Diagrams (PPD). Using the PPDs, operational measurements such as arrivals on green (AOG), split failures (SF), and downstream blockage (DSB) are calculated. Additionally, traditional Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) level of service (LOS) is estimated. Even though there was a 35% increase in annual average daily traffic (AADT), the weighted average vehicle delay only increased by two seconds, LOS did not change, AOG improved by 1%, and SF and DSB remained the same. Based on the small changes in operational performance and considering the increase in traffic volume it is concluded that the implementation of the semi-automated adaptive control system had a significant positive impact in the corridor. The presented framework can be utilized by agencies to use CV data to perform before-after studies to evaluate the impact of signal timing plan changes. The presented methodology can be applied to any location where CV trajectory data is available.

Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems have been implemented in many cities over the past two decades. Widespread adoption of General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), the deployment of high-fidelity bus GPS data tracking, and anonymized high-fidelity connected vehicle data from private vehicles have provided new opportunities for performance measures that can be used by both transit agencies and traffic signal system operators. This paper describes the use of trajectory-based data to develop performance measures for a BRT system in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over 3 million data records during the 3-month period between March and May 2022 are analyzed to develop visualizations and performance metrics. A methodology to estimate the average delay and schedule adherence is presented along a route comprised of 74 signals and 28 bus stations. Additionally, this research demonstrates how these performance measures can be used to evaluate dedicated and non-dedicated bus lanes with general traffic. Travel times and reliability of buses are compared with nearly 30 million private vehicle trips. Results show that median travel time for buses on dedicated bi-directional lanes is within one minute of general traffic and during peak periods the buses are often faster. Schedule adherence was observed to be more challenging, with approximately 3% of buses arriving within 1 minute on average during the 5AM hour and 5% of buses arriving 6 - 9 minutes late during the 5PM hour. The framework and performance measures presented in this research provide agencies and transportation professionals with tools to identify opportunities for adjustments and to justify investment decisions.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) spends approximately $30 to $60 million a year on deicing salt and operates a fleet of 1,000 winter operations trucks distributed among 140 locations. The entire fleet is now instrumented with location telematics, and all new trucks have integrated dash cameras, salt spreader application rate and plow up/plow down integrated into the telematics link. When winter storms occur, they have varying regional impacts and INDOT monitors several data sources including National Weather Service (NWS) live doppler, National Severe Storms Laboratory’s (NSSL) Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) products, road weather monitoring stations, and connected vehicles (CV) that provide roadway segment operating speeds. This paper discusses how telematics has been integrated to provide a comprehensive view of conditions, truck asset locations, and material distribution maps. The telematics identified widely varying salt spreader rates for the same calibration settings and equipment in preliminary analysis. A calibration box is developed to allow offload calibration to occur within 10 minutes without weighing or transporting the fleet vehicle. The method is deployed across six districts at INDOT for over 1000 snowplows. A sampling of eight trucks in the fleet found the proposed calibration method reduced salt application on average of 45%. This paper describes a series of telematics dashboards for managing winter operations and details the methods developed for 140 geographically distributed truck units to conduct simple, fast, and effective calibration.

In-cab alerts warn commercial vehicle drivers of upcoming roadway incidents, slowdowns and work zone construction activities. This paper reports on a study evaluating the driver response to in-cab alerts in Ohio. Driver response was evaluated by measuring the statistical trends of vehicle speeds after the in-cab alerts were received. Vehicle speeds pre and post in-cab alert were collected over a 47 day period in the fall of 2023 for trucks traveling on interstate roadways in Ohio. Results show that approximately 22% of drivers receiving Dangerous Slowdown alerts had reduced their speeds by at least 5 mph 30 seconds after receiving such an alert. Segmenting this analysis by speed found that of vehicles traveling at or above 70 mph at the time of alerting, 26% reduced speeds by at least 5 mph. These speed reductions suggest drivers taking actional measures after receiving alerts. Future studies will involve further analysis on the impact of the types of alerts shown, roadway characteristics and overall traffic conditions on truck speeds passing through work zones.

Ensuring adequate access to truck parking is critical to the safe and efficient movement of freight traffic. There are strict federal guidelines for commercial truck driver rest periods. Rest areas and private truck stops are the only places for the trucks to stop legally and safely. In locations without sufficient parking areas, trucks often park on interstate ramps, which create safety risks for other interstate motorists. Historically, agencies have employed costly and time intensive manual counting methods, camera surveillance, and driver surveys to assess truck parking. Connected truck data, available in near real-time, offers an efficient alternative to practitioners to assess truck parking patterns and identify areas where there may be insufficient safe parking spaces. This paper presents a case study of interstate I-70 in east central Indiana and documents the observed spatiotemporal impacts of a rest area closure on truck parking on nearby interstate ramps. Results showed that there was a 28% increase in parking on ramps during the rest area closure. Analysis also found that ramps closest to the rest area were most impacted by the closure, seeing a rise in truck parking sessions as high as 2.7 times. Parking duration on the ramps during rest area closure also increased drastically. Although it was expected that this would result in increased parking by trucks on adjacent ramps, this before, during, after scenario provided an ideal scenario to evaluate the robustness of these techniques to assess changing parking characteristics of long-haul commercial trucks. The data analytics and visualization tools presented in this study are scalable nationwide and will aid stakeholders in informed data-driven decision making when allocating resources towards improving the nations commercial vehicle parking infrastructure.
