ATDM Dynamic Part-Time Shoulder Use  Follow-up to FHWA Guide on Part-Time Shoulder Use https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop15023/  New project to develop a “playbook” to assist agencies with decisions on when to open and close dynamic shoulders.  Synthesis of current practice complete, playbook methodology underway. 3

ATDM Parking Management  Parking cruising and related congestion.  Six-scenario, nine-city parking cash-out and commuter benefits study.  Series of regional workshops - summary and supporting materials available.  Many Value Pricing Pilot Program (VPPP) projects have included parking management strategies. 4

Work Zones Work Zone Data Initiative  Vision : easily enable sharing of Work Zone Activity Data (WZAD – the “what”, “where”, and “when” of WZs) through development of a national WZAD specification.  Result : real-time, accurate, and comprehensive data in an open, standard format.  This vision will be achieved through multiple efforts: • Project to develop critical documents, e.g., Concept of Operations for standardized WZAD, data dictionary, Implementation Guide • Extensive coordination with stakeholders, including: • Stakeholder Engagement – Presentations, webinars, workshops • WZAD Pilots to demonstrate and evaluate the process • Symposium at National Work Zone Management Conf. (Sept. 11, 2018) 5

Work Zones Work Zone ITS Planning Tool  Implements the logic and methodology described in the FHWA WZ ITS Implementation Guide • Guides through 6-step WZ ITS decision-making process • Documents decisions made with supporting information  Available for download and use off USDOT’s Open Source Application Development Portal https://www.itsforge.net/index.php/community/explore-applications#/40/150  FHWA sponsoring demonstration workshops around the country • If interested in participating in a workshop, contact your Division Office representative or Jawad Paracha (jawad.paracha@dot.gov). 6

Freight Freight Analytics 14

Freight Focus on Operational Improvement: FRATIS Improve communications of intermodal logistics information by allowing technologies to work together to optimize drayage fleet movements. Travel time Bobtail Terminal Fuel reduced Emissions trips queue time consumption by 15% reduced by reduced reduced by reduced by 5% by 10% 20% 5% 15

Freight Focus on Multimodal Performance: Freight Fluidity Demonstrate and improve the measurement of start to end performance using a supply chain perspective. 16

Freight Focus on Analytical Tools: National Freight Model  Deployment of a disaggregated freight modeling method that recognizes supply chain decisions.  Tool to enable the assertion of assumptions about alternative future freight conditions. 17 Source: Federal Highway Administration

Asset Management Asset Management for Signals and ITS  Develop guidelines for applying transportation asset management principles to signals and ITS.  Use the format of the MAP-21 requirements for Transportation Asset Management Plans (TAMPs).  Anticipated completion by early 2020. 18
