Travel Time Reliability: How to Measure and Why it is Important?
Planning Time Index is the ratio of the 95th percentile to the free-flow travel time and shows the total time which is needed for on-time arrival in 95 percent of all trips. The difference between Buffer Index and Planning Time Index is that BI represents the extra delay time that should be added to average travel time, while the PTI indicates ...
Travel Time Index
The Travel Time Index is the ratio of the travel time during the peak period to the time required to make the same trip at free-flow speeds. A value of 1.3, for example, indicates a 20-minute free-flow trip requires 26 minutes during the peak period. Methodology and data sources have been changed in 2019; these figures are not comparable to ...
City Size and Travel Time Index, United States, 1982-2020
The Travel Time Index (TTI) is a congestion measure developed by the Texas Transportation Institute and applied to a sample of 101 American cities on a yearly basis since 1982. The TTI is the ratio of the time a trip takes during rush hour over the same trip in regular conditions. A value around and above 1 is indicative of recurring congestion ...
Travel Time Reliability Measures
It's the unexpected congestion on a day-to-day basis that troubles travelers the most. Travelers want travel time reliability—a consistency or dependability in travel times, as measured from day to day or across different times of day. Travelers want to know that a trip will take a half-hour today, a half-hour tomorrow, and so on.
Traffic Congestion and Reliability:
The Travel Time Index (TTI) is a measure of total congestion. It is the ratio of the peak-period travel time to the travel time under ideal conditions. A TTI value of 1.2 indicates that peak-period travel takes 20 percent longer than under ideal conditions. All are shown for individual days.
Additional Performance Measures
Travel Time Index (TTI) The relative severity of travel congestion is measured by the ratio of the peak travel time to the travel time at free-flow speeds. A travel time index of 1.2 means travel speeds are 20 percent slower than free flow for a given time period. Travel time index measures how much congestion is present for a given road segment.
Estimating congestion zones and travel time indexes based on the
In this study, a methodology to automatically determine congestion zones and time-varying Travel Time Indexes (TTIs) from a historical FCD is presented, with the following additional objectives: (i) spatio-temporal and visual analysis of congestion on both micro and macro level, (ii) significantly reducing the volume of traffic data without notable loss in travel time estimation, and (iii ...
2022 Urban Congestion Trends Report
In 2022, US urban traffic congestion trends showed a mixed picture. Average daily congested hours on freeways decreased by 10 minutes to 2 hours and 55 minutes. However, the Travel Time Index (TTI) increased slightly from 1.19 to 1.22, and the Planning Time Index (PTI) rose from 1.72 to 1.80, indicating increased travel time unreliability.
Travel Time Index per Year, Selected American Cities, 1982-2020
Commuters were spending an increasing amount of hours in congestion. However, since the mid-2000s, the TTI has leveled off and has declined in some cases. This underlines a saturation in vehicle ownership and use. The Covid-19 pandemic impacted travel time as congestion levels were reduced due to fewer commuting flows. The index dropped by 11%.
Developing a Travel Time Congestion Index
Abstract. A congestion index that is keyed to the differences in actual versus desired travel times for various types of roadways is described. The suggested index provides a continuous scale for assessing the amount of congestion incurred. It encompasses a wide range of values and is easy to understand and use.

PDF G. Computation of Travel Time Metrics
The Travel Time Index (TTI) was used as the primary congestion metric in Project L03 for various reliability estimation and prediction models. Two reasons exist for this choice. First, because study sections can vary in length, using raw travel times is misleading -- the travel times must be normalized for distance.
Analyzing the effects of congestion on planning time index
Studies have demonstrated that traffic congestion is a major factor leading to unreliable travel time. Traffic congestion is divided into two categories: Recurring and Non-recurring. ... This study attempts to predict how fluctuations of congestion can affect variations of planning time index (PTI). To do so, congestion and PTI data for a 1.467 ...

Travel Time Reliability (TTR)
Travel Time Index is the ratio of the average travel time in peak hours to free-flow travel time. The TTI denotes the average extra time needed for a trip during peak hours, compared with the same trip duration in no-traffic, or free-flow, conditions. To calculate free-flow travel time, divide the road length by maximum speed limit of the road.
