ance with the application:

Quality of Service
Study Method
The applicant is to use the following instructions to conduct duality of service tests of
signals proposed to be included in the project. The attached 'Quality of Service"
Summary isto be completed and submitted with the application.
Introduction
Establishing the demand fortraffic signal retiming pro ects is particularly difficult unless
extensive data collection and analysis is performed beforehand. Since such effort is an
integral part of the project being proposed, it is beyond the scope of preliminary needs
assessments associated with the grant application. Consequently, the TLS program will
require a simple study of travel time performance for each project proposal which
should be in the range of capabilities of applying local governments and provides a
reasonable summary of the operational situation. This study is just a part of the review
process;and will be used as an inexact guideline to assist in project selection and
prioritization.
General Description
The travel time study methods defined here are not intended to be conclusive or
statistically comprehensive, but rather to be implementable by any local government
using only a vehicle and a stopwatch. The study will be a general summary of delay on
each street of the project. Data should only be collected on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays. The study will cover only the peak period, as defined by the applicant.
-Applicants are encouraged to use the most heavily travelled time period of a typical day
to establish the typical worst case. Travel times on all streets will be done during this
time period, according to the following methodology.
Study Methodology
An intersection is defined as a junction of streets controlled by a traffic signal which is
part of the project being proposed.
Travel time runs will be performed in all legal directions on each street in the project. A
run is defined as a trip from the first network or arterial signal to the last network or
arterial signal in one direction. For grid networks, two runs in each direction will be
done for each network street that passes through two or more network signals. For
arterial systems, three runs in each direction will be done. The time of crossing the stop
line at the first signal will be recorded (or the stop -watch will be started) and the time of
clearing`the last intersection will be recorded (or the stop -watch will be stopped).
The driver of the study vehicle should attempt to approach the first signal in a grid
system once at the beginning and once during the middle of the green phase and, for an
arterial, at the beginning, one-third point, and two-thirds point of the green phase. The
driver should then attempt to drive the length of the street at the posted speed limit.
Delay will be caused when other vehicles or traffic control devices impede the progress
of the study vehicle, and the driver should not take extraordinary measures to avoid
delay. Generally, the driver should stay in the most typically used through lane (such as
the center or median lane).
C
Accompanying the travel time run will be a description of the street geometry for each
section of the street. A section is defined as the portion of the street extending from
the stop line of one controlled intersection to the stop line of the next controlled inter-
section downstream. Section length, number of lanes, and posted speed limit should be
recorded. If the posted speed changes in the section, a weighted average should be
calculated based on distance.
For example, a section of street is 800 feet long, and is posted for 30 mph in the direction
under consideration for 500 feet and 40 mph for 300 feet. The average posted speed
would be
(30 mph x 500 feet) + (40 mph x 300 feet)
800 feet = 33.75 mph
Number of lanes is measured at the stop line at the beginning of the section, not
including turn bays.
For each street, average daily traffic counts should be provided_ Data up to five years
old is acceptable as long as significant changes in traffic patterns have not occurred.
Free flow travel time should be calculated assuming no stops and traffic flow at the
average posted speed limit. The free flow travel time for each section is the section
length divided by the speed in feetisec. Speed in mph is converted to feettsec by
multiplying by 1.47. The total free flow travel time is the total of the section free flow
travel times. The delay is the difference between free flow travel time and actual travel
time, averaged from the travel time runs. For example, a street contains two sections.
Section 1 is 800 feet and has a 35 mph average posted speed limit, and Section 2 is 1200
feet long and has a 40 mph average posted speed limit. The free flow travel time would
be
800 feet 1200 feet
35 mph x 1.47 + 40 mix 1.47 �6 seconds
The Quality of Service Summary form has been provided to allow the convenient orga-
nization of this data. One form should be filled out for each combination of street and
direction. Applicants should duplicate the form as necessary.
Summary
The procedure outlined here will provide a rough synopsis of the existing typical worst
case situation using data that can be collected very quickly. For arterial systems, only
data along the arterial is necessary. The runs have been defined to eliminate the in-
clusion of boundary conditions (such as side street delay on an arterial), which, though
they may inhibit a complete understanding of the situation, will allow arterial and grid
networks to be compared in a similar light.
