The Central Oregon Series on Transportation (COST) is a seminar series intended to promote professional development and advancements in Transportation Engineering and Planning in Central Oregon.
Travel time reliability is a measure that's becoming increasingly important to public agencies, elected officials, and most importantly the traveling public. The reliability concept is less than a decade old and continues to be explored and advanced through research programs such as the Strategic Highway Research Program 2. During this session attendees will learn the history and current state-of-the practice of reliability, key concepts and performance measures, and a description of how reliability concepts can be (and will be) applied to mainstream traffic operations and planning activities in the near future.
