Travel times were modeled using ESRI ArcGIS Pro version 2.1. Fire stations were identified on <br /> Geographic Information System (GIS) maps as starting points with vehicles traveling at posted <br /> road speeds. <br /> When generating the maps, a number of assumptions needed to be addressed prior to drawing <br /> conclusions from the analysis. These assumptions are as follows: <br /> • Modeled travel speeds are based on reasonable prudent historical traffic speeds occurring <br /> on Wednesdays at 5:00 PM.1 Actual response speeds may be slower, and the associated <br /> travel times greater, with any unpredictable impedances including, but not limited to: <br /> o Traffic Incidents: Collisions and vehicle breakdowns causing lane blockages and <br /> driver distractions. <br /> o Work Zones: Construction and maintenance activity that can cause added travel <br /> time in locations and times where congestion is not normally present. <br /> o Weather: Reduced visibility--road surface problems and uncertain waiting <br /> conditions result in extra travel time and altered trip patterns. <br /> o Special Events: Demand may change due to identifiable and predictable causes. <br /> o Traffic Control Devices: Poorly timed or inoperable traffic signals, railroad grade <br /> crossings, speed control systems, and traveler information signs contribute to <br /> irregularities in travel time. <br /> o Inadequate Road or Transit Capacity: The interaction of capacity problems with <br /> the aforementioned sources causes travel time to expand much faster than <br /> demand.2 <br /> • Larger emergency vehicles are generally more cumbersome and require greater skill to <br /> maneuver. Therefore, response by these vehicles may be more negatively affected by <br /> weight, size, and in some cases, inability to travel narrow surface streets. <br /> • Computer modeling only considers travel time of apparatus. Decision makers should <br /> understand that once apparatus and personnel arrive on the incident scene there are other <br /> essential tasks that must be completed which require additional time before access, <br /> rescue, and suppression can take place. Tasks such as establishing a water supply, <br /> forcible entry (access), and deployment of an attack line are not considered in the <br /> computer modeling. <br /> • The reliability of a community's hydrant system to supply water to fire apparatus. <br /> • Weather conditions <br /> Historical traffic data as contained in ERSI's StreetMap Premium,Version 17.2. <br /> 2 David Shrank and Tim Lomax, The 2003 Urban Mobility Report,(Illinois Transportation Institute,Illinois A&M <br /> University: September 2003). <br /> 4 <br />
