FDOT’s Use of SHRP2 Solutions FDOT SHRP2 Solutions 5/25/2016 FDOT’s Use of SHRP2 Solutions Ed Lee Administrator, Rail/Motor Carrier Planning & Safety FDOT Good morning, I’m excited to be here to discuss the Florida Department of Transportation’s use of SHRP2 solutions. As a longtime transportation research leader and strong proponent of innovation, FDOT has been an active participant in SHRP2 research and implementation. Florida has championed numerous SHRP2 products, but today I will highlight FDOT’s efforts on: Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement (C20) and Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies (R16) October 6, 2016

Freight Modeling and Data Improvement (C20) FDOT SHRP2 Solutions 5/25/2016 Freight Modeling and Data Improvement (C20) Benefits: Freight planners and decision makers will have the tools and data to consistently evaluate projects that affect freight movement. State, regional, and local planners can better predict movement trends and make informed project investment decisions First, a bit of background on the SHRP2 product – Freight Modeling and Data Improvement – also referred to as C20. It was developed as a road map to enable state, regional, and local planners to improve their freight data sets and freight modeling practices. C20 includes an analysis of the current state of the practice, freight decision making needs, and the gaps between current freight forecasting models and real-world needs. A Global Freight Research Consortium is planned to serve as an ongoing international forum of key stakeholders to expand the dialogue on freight analysis and data innovation. This year, there will also be 8 regional workshops to help share this information across corridors and state boundaries. Workshop #1 is planned for Orlando, Florida in August 2016. Next Steps: Held one of eight FHWA regional workshops in 2016 to foster discussion about data needs and potential solutions across public, private, and academic sectors Explore how supply chain behavior can be incorporated into demand models at all levels (national, regional, state, metropolitan, and local) Explore how private sector supply chain data can be aggregated and used for public sector freight transportation planning purposes 10

Florida’s Implementation FDOT SHRP2 Solutions 5/25/2016 Florida’s Implementation GPS Data for Truck-Route Choice Analysis of Port Everglades Petroleum Commodity Flow Goal - develop new methods of data collection and better understand the supply and demand chain for petroleum commodities Efficient freight and commercial truck travel is essential to national, state, and local transportation infrastructure planning and our economic well-being. Incorporating freight movement considerations in the transportation planning process, however, may be difficult.  FDOT was awarded proof of concept implementation assistance to conduct a pilot study using Port Everglades. Port Everglades handles 24 million tons of cargo annually and is the 11th busiest port in the nation. Much of this tonnage is petroleum products. In this project, University of South Florida researchers demonstrated the ability to combine GPS data from tanker trucks with other data to understand truck route choices in the region to clarify the complex supply chain of petroleum commodities in South Florida. To develop delivery patterns, the project team had to identify delivery trucks and their destinations. The team used GPS truck travel data supplied by the American Transportation Research Institute Included a snapshot from 1 month in 2014 and 1 month in 2015 for 12 counties in South Florida Next the team needed to determine destinations of petroleum deliveries. They sourced records from the Florida Department of Revenue for locations of fuel recipients, and gas station locations using HERE data Together this information allowed the project team to develop trip chains of trucks carrying petroleum products inbound or outbound from Port Everglades. With the trip chain information, the impact of this critical commodity on the transportation network will now be better understood and accounted for in future transportation planning and analyses. This research was completed in January 2016 – there is a link on the slide for anyone that wishes to take a look.

Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies (R16) FDOT SHRP2 Solutions 5/25/2016 Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies (R16) Challenge Railroad-DOT interaction requires a thorough review of the safety, engineering, and operating effects the roadway project will have on the respective railroad during construction and for decades thereafter. Rapid highway construction goals require a new approach that eases the project agreement process for both industries. Solution Recommended practices, model agreements, and training materials to help resolve potential conflicts. Each year we construct hundreds of highway projects that cross over, under, or parallel railroad rights-of-way, requiring extended coordination between these organizations. Limited railroad resources are strained by this large volume of State Highway projects that compete with local agencies for staff availability Although most go smoothly, delays in development or construction do occur. Projects must be prioritized and scheduled well into the future to avoid potential conflicts because of over-scheduling of resources Railroads evaluate these projects in terms of safety, engineering, and operational impacts both during construction and for decades later. For the public agencies, delays while waiting on railroad reviews and agreements can increase project costs. Standardized agreements reduce delays because document language is pre-approved by all parties. Although both highway agencies and railroads are driven by engineering factors to make investment decisions about linear transportation facilities, they approach their decisions from very different perspectives. Understanding these perspectives can facilitate a common goal. R16 uses a collaborative approach, and is intended to develop strategies and relationships to benefit both highway agencies and railroads.

Florida Implementation FDOT SHRP2 Solutions 5/25/2016 Florida Implementation Flagging Agreement Goal – determine best practices associated with CSX flagmen needed during FDOT project construction Example FDOT construction project with railroad impacts – SR60 to I-4 Connector Florida’s challenge is to address FDOT’s recurring need for CSX flagmen during construction projects, while balancing CSX’s need to justify and coordinate when to provide key staff. Without CSX flagmen to supervise train traffic, FDOT construction projects would be delayed. CSX must anticipate when their valuable staff will be needed, or conflicts can arise.   FDOT and CSX have partnered to prioritize and schedule projects to maximize limited resources.  This is done at an annual meeting with our rail coordinators and the railroads Our R16 collaborate approach would bring the roadway construction and railroad industries together to discuss conflicts and document proposed resolutions.  The Federal Railroad Administration is evaluating several state’s innovative proposals and is prioritizing projects for implementation. FDOT is negotiating a formal agreement to retain CSX flagmen for planned construction projects on an as needed basis. CSX benefits from an overall flagging agreement, as FDOT provides a list of project priorities. This ensures their ability to plan staff availability, meeting FDOT needs as well as their own. This solution is still in the early phases, but hopefully it will go on to become a nationwide best practice in coordinating highway construction and railroad operations.

Thanks for listening! --- Questions they could ask: Key findings from C20 report? Just building the trip chains, next steps will be analysis. Where do I go for more info? Link to the C20 report is on the slide, or reach out to FDOT contacts on specific SHRP2 tools.
