Performance Measures

Incorporating performance measures into the transportation plan serves an important function for communicating and coordinating between decisionmakers, policymakers, and the public and for assessing progress toward achieving the goals and objectives outlined in the plan. Performance measures figure prominently in the Congestion Management Process and the Objectives-Driven, Performance-Based approach to planning for operations, reflecting the current focus on performance-based planning. Combined with data and analysis tools, performance measures serve an important role in helping to provide a basis for prioritizing investments.

Like the objectives, the performance measures that are included in the Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT) are derived from a variety of resources, including the Planning for Operations Desk Reference, recent long range plans, and connected vehicle prototype development efforts. Performance measures should be tailored to the specific needs of the region and established cooperatively by the State(s), affected MPO(s), and local officials in consultation with the operators of major modes of transportation in the coverage area. Select a performance measure to see the source document for that performance measure along with the associated goal, objective, and service package(s).

Architecture Use

The regional ITS architecture can be used to plan a regional data collection strategy that will facilitate performance measurement. Planners and operators can review the ITS architecture to see where operations data is being generated, where it is compiled, and which agencies have access to it. The focal point in the ITS architecture for data collection to support performance monitoring is the physical object called "Archived Data Systems". The relevant areas in the regional ITS architecture can be identified by reviewing the architecture inventory to identify systems that are associated with the Archived Data System. The performance measures shown here are connected with objectives and ITS services, providing an entry point to use the architecture to support planning for performance measurement.
