Motivation

• Over 9000 miles of interstate and primary roads in VA

• Increasing vulnerability to development activity

• Escalating land values affects right of way acquisition

• Desire to avoid unnecessary congestion and costly retrofits

• VDOT must anticipate future development in corridors and take timely action: Corridor Protection– Pre-purchase right-of-way– Obtain easements, developer proffers– Access management

Page 5: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

Problem Statement

Develop a repeatable, data-driven, GIS-based methodology to identify and

prioritize countywide corridors in need of corridor protection.

Test the methodology in

Fauquier County, VA.

Corridor Protection

• Potential fiscal and social benefits• Many stakeholders• Methods

– Access management– ROW acquisition

• Legal issues

Sources: (Williams and Frey, 2003; Armour, Rose, Butler, and Waters, 2002; Corridor Capacity Preservation Program, 2002; Stokes, Russell, and Vellanki, 1994; Perfater, 1989; Kamprath and Miller, 2004)

Access Management

• Safety• Congestion• Network design• Effects on businesses• HB 2228

Sources: (Plazak and Preston, 2005; Fifth National Conference on Access Management, 2005; NCHRP Synthesis 289, 2000; Bowman and Rushing, 1998; ODOT Access Management, 2004; Williams and Seggerman, 2004; NCHRP Synthesis 337, 2004)

ODOT Access Management Manual

Right of Way Acquisition

• Pressure to complete ROW

estimations• Lengthy acquisition process• Uncertainties with damages

and court costs• Uneconomic remnants• Common pitfalls

Risk Assessment and Management

• Risk Assessment (Kaplan and Garrick, 1981)– What can go wrong?– What are the likelihoods?– What are the consequences?

• Risk Management (Haimes, 2004)– What are the trade-offs?– What can be done?– What are the impacts of current decisions on future

options?

Evaluate Alternatives

• Field visits• Context sensitive corridor protection strategies

– ROW Acquisition– Land use controls / concessions– Network design

Discussion

Systems Design Process

• Disciplined methodology to approach emerging problems under conditions of uncertainty

Page 84: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

84

Risk Assessment and Management• Recognized cross-disciplinary

framework

• Encourages strict problem definition– Risk of unforeseen development– “the transportation and land use

problem”

• Toolbox of risk modeling, assessment, and management techniques

• This thesis applied a conceptual risk framework

Page 85: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

85

Suitability Analysis

• Applied to wide variety of problems and scales

• Relevant to predicting land development

• Use of GIS, data availability increasing

• Visual method intuitive, clearly communicates results

Page 86: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

86

Challenges

• Suitability analysis model is not yet calibrated

• Scaling and weighting of factors– Roughly right or precisely wrong?

• Likelihood scores are relative and without units

But…

• Demonstrating a process and identifying factors are important research contributions

Page 87: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

87

Contributions

• Approached identification of corridor protection needs systemically, including multiple perspectives

• Developed an approach using risk assessment and management and suitability analysis

• Collected and inventoried 80 Virginia datasets

• Identified and derived meaningful constraint, indicator, and management factor

Recommendations

Page 89: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

89

Recommendation 1

• Results can effectively be communicated to County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission

– Reinforce critical need to implement VDOT Safety Improvement Plan for crossovers along US 15/29

– Identify where land use management controls should restrict future access

Source: Rick Carr, Fauquier County, 10/18/2007

Page 90: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

90

Recommendation 2

• Identification of what corridor sections should be protected must be followed with how corridor sections will be protected

– Several existing options• Access management• Land use controls• Police powers

– Enabling laws differ from state to state

Page 91: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

91

Recommendation 3

• Methodology can assist counties and towns in complying with legislative acts

• HB 3202– Identifying suitability of urban development areas– Identifying Traffic Impact Fee Service Area

• HB2228/SB1312– Developing statewide access management standards

Source: Rick Carr, Fauquier County, 10/18/2007

Page 92: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

92

Recommendation 4

• Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission (RRRC) and other PDCs can apply the methodology at the regional level

– Insure more coordinated transportation/land use approach among member jurisdictions

– Provide GIS-based analysis to member jurisdictions that lack staffing capabilities to develop independent studies

Page 93: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

93

Recommendation 5

• Methodology is flexible and can accommodate a variety of datasets

• Future efforts may include– Land use and zoning– Functional classification of corridors– Green infrastructure (VDCR)– Transportation infrastructure of additional modes such as

bike and pedestrian, rail, bus, and air– Out-of-county property owners

Next Steps

Page 95: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

95

Next Steps, Academic

• Refine scaling and weighting– Hierarchical Holographic Modeling (HHM)– Analytic Hierarchy/Network Processes (AHP/ANP)

• Expand risk management activities– Management indicators– Costs and benefits– Trade-offs– Visualization techniques

• Calibrate model– Building permits– Zoning amendments

Page 96: Risk-Based Analysis of Needs for Transportation Corridor Protection

96

Next Steps, Practical

• Repeat method at a regional scale, additional counties

• Refine training materials for new users

• Incorporate additional indicators– Zoning– Non-resident property owners– Building permits

• Explore web delivery options

Conclusion

This effort developed

a framework of

risk assessment and management

coupled with suitability analysis

as a method for identifying

protection needs in transportation corridors
