Intersection and Corridor Performance Reports

With the current rate of growth, associated development, and significant number of large transportation construction projects scheduled over the next five years, the ability to better manage our regional traffic signals and corridors, using real time data and quality analytics, has become essential.

As such, KMPO has collaborated with the Idaho Transportation Department and local jurisdictions to obtain valuable performance data from INRIX IQ for our state, regional and local transportation systems. The use of the INRIX IQ Signal and Corridor Analytics platforms is the first step, in many, to continue to improve our local and regional transportation network’s performance, resiliency and reliability.

INRIX IQ platform provides great insight and understanding into the performance of the existing 116+ traffic signals in the area by allowing local jurisdictions to:

• monitor the overall performance of traffic signals throughout the region
• identify traffic signal delays occurring at individual signals on arterial corridors
• understand signal performance on traffic progression in the corridors
• detect and address signal malfunctions in a timely manner (e.g., signal timing plans reverting to default mode or being out of sync with other signals throughout a corridor, such as US-95)
• provide the public with information on the actual performance of the region’s transportation system using nationally standardized performance measures (e.g., traffic crossing an intersection per hour, total hours of delay per day, percentage of traffic arriving on a green light, how much time is spent on a typical trip)

With access to weekly and monthly reports, jurisdictions can identify trends and pinpoint needed areas of improvement – resulting in impactful decisions for and throughout our community. It is important to understand that transportation issues are not solely related to capacity. The responsible management of our transportation system is also about understanding how to best utilize the resources that exist today – while waiting for future investments throughout the region. Access and use of this data is a significant benefit to our region.
