Local Lanes I-94 Edens Split to I-290

Feb 5, 2014

I-90/94 Kennedy Expy Local Lanes (I-94 Edens Split to I-290) Congestion and Crash Scans

The Chicago region traffic congestion scans were created by averaging five minute speed data obtained from freeway loop detectors, radar, and mobile technology data. The traffic scans display average speed on a freeway corridor as a function of time of day (the x-axis) and location (the y-axis) along a freeway corridor.

Crash scans show the rate of total highway crashes per 100 million vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) for 1/10 mile segments.  The purpose of these crash scans is to show highway planners and system managers how crashes are related to congestion.  Understanding where crashes are concentrated can help planners and engineers focus on improving those locations with the worst performance.  

Congestion Scans

I-90/94, Kennedy Expressway Local Lanes from I-94 Edens Expressway to I-290 Eisenhower Expressway.  Congestion Scan, 2016. Showing average speed by milepost by time of day by direction of travel.

About the Data

2016 scans were prepared using the RITIS system, developed by the University of Maryland's CATT Lab.  Data comes from the National Performance Measure Research Dataset (NPMRDS), a HERE dataset made available to states and MPOs through the Freight Management and Operations Program of the Federal Highway Administration.  
 

Notice: 2016 congestion scans are based upon work supported by the Federal Highway Administration under contract number DTFH-13-C-00012.
