§ 490.513 - Calculation of National Highway System performance measures.  


Latest version.
  • § 490.513 Calculation of National Highway System performance measures.

    (a) The NHS Performance measures in § 490.507 shall be calculated in accordance with this section by State DOTs and MPOs to carry out the Interstate System and non-Interstate NHS performance-related requirements of this part, and by FHWA to make the significant progress determinations specified in § 490.109 and to report on system performance.

    (b) The Interstate Travel Time Reliability measure specified in § 490.507(a)(1) shall be computed to the nearest tenth of a percent as follows:

    Where:

    R = total number of Interstate System reporting segments that are exhibiting an LOTTR below 1.50 during all of the time periods identified in § 490.511(b)(1)(i) through (iv);

    I = Interstate System reporting segment “i”;

    SLi = length, to the nearest thousandth of a mile, of Interstate System reporting segment “i”;

    AVi = total annual traffic volume to the nearest single vehicle, of the Interstate System reporting segment “i”;

    J = geographic area in which the reporting segment “i” is located where a unique occupancy factor has been determined;

    OFi = occupancy factor for vehicles on the NHS within a specified geographic area within the State/Metropolitan planning area; and

    T = total number of Interstate System reporting segments.

    (c) The Non-Interstate Travel Time Reliability measure specified in § 490.507(a)(2) shall be computed to the nearest tenth of a percent as follows:

    Where:

    R = total number of non-Interstate NHS reporting segments that are exhibiting an LOTTR below 1.50 during all of the time periods identified in § 490.511(b)(1)(i) through (iv);

    i = non-Interstate NHS reporting segment “i”;

    SLi = length, to the nearest thousandth of a mile, of non-Interstate NHS reporting segment “i”;

    AVi = total annual traffic volume to the nearest 1 vehicle, of the Interstate System reporting segment “i”;

    j = geographic area in which the reporting segment “i” is located where a unique occupancy factor has been determined;

    OFj = occupancy factor for vehicles on the NHS within a specified geographic area within the State/Metropolitan planning area; and

    T = total number of non-Interstate NHS reporting segments.

    (d) The GHG measure specified in § 490.507(b) shall be computed to the nearest tenth of a percent as follows:

    Where:

    (Tailpipe CO2 Emissions on NHS)CY = total tailpipe CO2 emissions on the NHS in a calendar year (expressed in million metric tons (mmt), and rounded to the nearest hund redth); and

    (Tailpipe CO2 Emissions on NHS)reference year = total tailpipe CO2 emissions on the NHS in calendar year 2022 (expressed in million metric tons (mmt), and rounded to the nearest hundredth).

    (d) The GHG measure specified in § 490.507(b) shall be computed to the nearest tenth of a percent as follows:

    Where:

    (Tailpipe CO2 Emissions on NHS)CY = total tailpipe CO2 emissions on the NHS in a calendar year (expressed in million metric tons (mmt), and rounded to the nearest hund redth); and

    (Tailpipe CO2 Emissions on NHS)reference year = total tailpipe CO2 emissions on the NHS in calendar year 2022 (expressed in million metric tons (mmt), and rounded to the nearest hundredth).
