MAP‐21 definition of TSMO: Integrated strategies to optimize the performance of existing infrastructure through the implementation of multimodal and intermodal, cross‐jurisdictional systems, services, and projects designed to preserve capacity and improve security, safety, and reliability of the transportation system. What is TSMO?

ARDOT Mission Statement: Provide safe and efficient transportation solutions to support Arkansas’ economy and enhance the quality of life for generations to come. ARDOT Vision Statement: Continue to preserve and improve Arkansas’ transportation system emphasizing safety, efficiency, quality, trust, and stewardship with a public service focused workforce.

Recurring Congestion 45% Why TSMO?

Bottlenecks 40% Poor Signal Timing 5% Special Events 5% Bad Weather 15% Work Zones 10% Traffic Incidents 25%

Non‐Recurring Congestion 55%

SLIDE 15

Economic Impact The economic impact to

Arkansas due to non‐recurring congestion is tens of millions of dollars each year

– I‐40 between North Little Rock and West Memphis was evaluated using 2016 data

One highway construction workzone resulted in a road

user cost (RUC) of approximately $400,000

Two winter weather events resulted in RUC of

approximately $200,000

Top 10 traffic incidents resulted in RUC of

approximately $2.1 million (if including crash costs, RUC is approximately $10 million)

Why TSMO?

Safety of motoring public: Secondary crashes

in Arkansas in 2016

– 5 fatal crashes – 15 serious injury crashes – Of these 20 KA crashes:

18 (90%) were on a freeway
16 (80%) occurred during daylight
15 (75%) were rear‐end collisions
11 (55%) occurred in a rural area
6 (30%) involved a truck
3 (15%) were on wet pavement
2 (10%) were work zone related

What is Traffic Incident Management (TIM)

A planned and coordinated multi‐disciplinary process to detect, respond to, and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as

possible. Effective TIM reduces the duration and impacts
f traffic incidents and improves the safety of motorists,

crash victims, and emergency responders.

SLIDE 21

What has been done to address TIM in Arkansas?

– FHWA Workshop and Executive Briefing Nov. 2016 – Five Primary Action Items were recommended:

1. Establish TIM committee
2. Establish small working group to increase TIM training
3. Integrate TIM into Strategic Highway Safety Plan
4. Improve TIM performance measure data collection

and tracking capabilities

5. Develop TIM law public outreach and education plan

TIM Efforts in Arkansas

21

SLIDE 22

1. (A) Established TIM Working Committee

– Meets quarterly – It is a multi‐agency, multi‐jurisdictional stakeholder group made of up TIM responders and DOT staff – Purpose is to discuss TIM issues and make recommendations to Executive Committee – ARDOT (including AHP) is lead agency

(B) Established TIM Executive Committee

– Meets annually – Similar to Working Committee but made up of administration

2. TIM training

– FHWA TIM Train‐the‐Trainer session held in March 2017 – Established central point of contact to track and coordinate TIM training efforts (Eddie Tanner, ArDOT Section Head of Workforce Development) – ARDOT/AHP & ASP has conducted numerous TIM training sessions – TIM training requirements

ARDOT / AHP
ASP
Fire and EMS
Tow Operators – ATRB

3. Integrate TIM into Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)

– SHSP is required by FHWA as part of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) – Most recent SHSP was adopted by the Arkansas Highway Commission and approved by FHWA in July 2017

TIM Accomplishments

26

– SHSP is a data‐driven, multi‐ disciplinary plan that establishes statewide goals and objectives to address safety and move Toward Zero Deaths – TIM is included as an Emphasis Area in the SHSP

SLIDE 27

4. Improve TIM performance measure data collection

and tracking capabilities

– Roadway Clearance Time – Time between first record of incident and when all lanes open to traffic  ACTIS – Incident Clearance Time – Time between first record of incident and when last responder has left the scene – Secondary Crash – Crash that occurs within the incident scene or within the queue or backup, including the

pposite direction, resulting from an original incident 

eCrash

– ARDOT is producing educational flyers for MOVE IT and MOVE OVER laws

SLIDE 31

More TIM Training
More timely and accurate traveler information

regarding incidents

TIM Education and Resources

– MOVE OVER and MOVE IT Laws – Flyers – Quarterly Report – Social Media

TIM Related Legislation

– Qualified Operators for Non‐Consent Towing – AUTHORITY REMOVAL or QUICK CLEARANCE Law
