30. The ICE-OPS Analysis

32. TSMO Relationship to Planning
New plans being developed (TSMO Plan, Interstate Corridor Plan, State Freight Plan, Transportation Asset Management Plan, etc.)
Some required; all good practice
Need to explore plan relationships
Iterative/cyclical process
Key part of updating the Long Range Transportation Plan

33. ICE – Infrastructure Condition Evaluation
Screening tool to inform use of limited resources
Focused on pavements and bridges
Developed by Planning office

34. ICE–OPS - Infrastructure Condition Evaluation for Operations
Developed parallel tool with similar structure, but with operations focus
Information summarized to 21 interstate corridors

35. ICE-OPS Structure Uses nine operations-oriented criteria:
All bottleneck occurrences per mile (10%)
Freight bottleneck occurrences per mile (10%)
Traffic incident frequency per mile (15%)
Crash rate (15%)
Planning time index (10%)
Event center buffer index (5%)
Weather-sensitive corridor mileage (10%)
Average annual daily traffic (20%)
ICE rating (5%)

36. ICE-OPS Structure cont.
Each criteria assigned a normalized value (1-10 scale) based on range of observed values
Calculates composite score after applying weighting to each normalized value (max 100)
Ranks interstate corridors
from an operational
perspective
