Abstract This study is concerned with travel time and operational reliability on arterial routes. Reliability is viewed in terms of the consistency of operation of the route under investigation and defined in terms of the inverse of the standard deviation of the travel time distribution. Under certain assumptions, travel time behavior on an arterial route is seen to closely follow a gamma distribution; the reliability measure can be derived accordingly. Utilizing arterial travel time data from the Chicago area, both a regression and a statistical model are show to serve as efficient techniques in predicting reliability. The prediction models are evaluated.
