Traffic Controller RSE
The Visually impaired PED has a modified Smartphone that “hears” the BSM and RSE messages: The RSE transmits SPaT and the PED then knows what is happening, where, and can avoid and warn. RSE can warn depending on PED location etc. This is a development effort; the NYCVPD will be working selected stakeholders to establish the applications and infrastructure to support these.

ITS-NY Annual Meeting Keir Opie, Cambridge Systematics June 9, 2016
1 Buffalo-Niagara ICM Corridors I-190 ICM Corridor Cross Border Corridor
2 The Issues Corridor operates in a very constrained geography Implications of border on corridor traffic Weather and traffic management Multi-jurisdictional configuration of facilities and management interface Multimodal aspects of travel in the corridor Corridor as designated emergency evacuation route Continued economic and population growth Rapidly emerging technologies
3 I-190 Corridor (Why do we need ICM?) Average Daily Volumes on I-190 in the Downtown Buffalo Area have shown significant increases during the last decade Example illustrates count between Peace Bridge and Niagara St Exits – Year: 2005 Volume: 73,150 Year: 2011 Volume: 89,973 That’s a 23% increase in 6 years! CBD development continues to progress in recent years – Buffalo Harbor, Downtown Districts (Larkinville), Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus
4 Partnership Team The Partnership Partnership Members NITTEC Buffalo and Fort Erie Public GBNRTC Bridge Authority Funding Agencies City of Buffalo Ministry of Transportation NYSERDA and FHWA Ontario Consultant Team New York State Department Cambridge Systematics, Inc. of Transportation New York State Thruway Authority Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority
5 Expected Results
The objectives of the I-190 Integrated Corridor Management Project are to optimize traffic operations by identifying effective traffic management strategies to mitigate congestion and the associated environmental impacts.
The project involves the development of a Data-driven Decision Support Tool for: 1. Congestion management on critical transportation corridors in the Buffalo- Niagara Region that provide access to New York State’s bi-national border crossings 2. Development of Buffalo-Niagara Border Crossing Corridor Management Plan 3. Build upon the ICM vision by focusing on recurring and non-recurring congestion, which affects commuters in the downtown Buffalo area, and the re-routing of traffic to other border crossings in the area due to issues at the Peace Bridge and on the I-190 corridor.
6 More Results
The Decision Support Tool will help the BC Partnership understand the network-wide impacts of various strategies and develop plans corresponding to regional priorities, such as improving air quality and reducing delay.
The Decision Support Tool will be a set of traffic simulation models developed using field data from a select number of known critical analysis periods.
The Border Crossing Corridor Management Plan will include policies, procedures, and operational strategies that balance traffic loads among the regional border crossings and their access roads.
7 More Results
The Plan will include softer strategies to reduce delay and manage demand through increased awareness of electronic pre- clearance programs, transit promotion, and long-term solutions focused on reducing regional border delay.
The updated ICM will improve traffic management through the development of strategic diversion routes to the other border crossings in the region and travelers within the corridor of the downtown Buffalo area including daily trips to/from work, NFL and NHL sporting events and numerous special events.
8 Modeling Methodology Multi-Resolution Modeling Approach consistent with GBNRTC Simulation Framework Multi-level Analysis Tools Provide Selected Comprehensive Insight Platform:
Regional patterns and mode TransCAD shift; Transit analysis capability
Traveler information, HOT Aimsun lanes, congestion pricing and regional diversion patterns
Traffic control strategies such Aimsun as ramp metering and arterial traffic signal control
9 Model Limits Draft Combined Corridor Limits
Blue – Existing GBNRTC Meso Roadways
Red – Key roadways to be added
Pink – Diversion Roadways to be added
10 Possible Base Conditions AM and PM peak periods (with accidents) Adverse weather conditions Special events (Bills games, Sabres games, etc.) Seasonal events (e.g. summer holiday weekend traffic) Others?
Specific scenarios will need to be selected for modeling purposes.
11 Potential ICM Strategies • Active Traffic Management • Advanced parking systems • Managed lanes • Advanced ramp metering • Congestion pricing • Inter-agency information • En-route information sharing • Incident response policies • Regional data integration • Integrated electronic payment • Transit supply increase • Real-time traffic signal • Transit signal priority management • Connection protection • Ride-sharing • Real-time decision support
12 Performance Measures & Evaluation Criteria Network Usage Volumes, VMT, number of trips, etc. Mobility Travel times, speeds, VHT, total hours of delay, border crossing delays, average delay per person Reliability Variance in travel time and or speeds Environmental Tailpipe emissions, fuel consumption Benefit/Cost Ratios
