Overview
• A methodology for parsimonious characterization of the time-of-day and day-of-week variation of recurring traffic congestion in roadway segments
• Want something that is appropriate for generating dynamic real-time minimum estimated-time-of-arrival turn-by-turn navigation instructions.

Overview• Conceptually, travel time is straight forward to
estimate. – It is simply the ensemble of travel time experienced on each
of the route segments (aka links) that assemble to take you from where you are to where you are going.
• The challenge is the satisfactory estimation of that travel time when you will be traversing that segment.– Required is estimation of the time at which the segment is
traversed and the time to traverse that segment at that time.

Overview• Intent: to utilize the characterization to assist in the
ranking of alternative routes in a turn-by-turn navigation system.– Such systems assess many routes each having many
segments; – consequently, the estimation of time-of –arrival must be
efficient in:– Data availability and Memory– Parallelization– computation of kth link travelTimek

Overview• Focus on recurring congestion
– as represented by PeMS • ready availability of time series data for many locations
– 8,915 individual lanes• flow, occupancy and implied speed every twice a minute)
• Reviewed are other aspects – weather, special events, incidents– more appropriate data such as individual vehicle travel histories (aka
“GPS Tracks”): observed travel times are explicitly exposed. • These elements are beyond the scope of this paper
• Note– While the PeMS data are but surrogates for segment travel times, their recurring
and special characteristics are arguably very similar to actual segment travel times.
• The ready availability of PeMS data for many locations is why they were used in this study to characterize and classify roadway segments

Sensor Locations • Used data from 1,500 “mainline” detectors
– Excluded on/off ramps, freeway2freeway connectors and HOV lanes

Sensor Locations • Length of segment = Distance Btwn MidPoint
of neighboring sensors• AverageLength = 0.70 miles; StdDv = 0.64• Speed: Relatively constant btwn neighboring sensors

Congestion Measure: Delay(t)• Delay defined as additional vehicle hours per time period per
segment unit lengthDelay(t) = SegLength*Flow(t)*Max{(1/PeMS_Speed (t)) –(1/targetSpeed), 0}• Jia et al. showed max throughput for LA Freeways occur at 60
mph = TargetSpeed
