Integrated Corridor Management in the U.S. — Analysis, modeling and simulation

This paper documents the analysis methodologies, tools, and performance measures used to analyze Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) strategies; and presents high-level results for the successful implementation of ICM at three Stage 2 Pioneer Sites, including 1) the U.S. 75 corridor in Dallas, Texas; 2) the I-15 corridor in San Diego, California; and 3) the I-394 corridor in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The following sections provide an overall summary of benefits, followed by brief descriptions of the corridors, operational conditions and ICM strategies analyzed, and summaries of estimated benefits for each corridor. Following these sections is a summary of the analysis methodology employed in the three sites, including model calibration methodology, analysis for different operational conditions, performance measures, analysis plans, and calculation of ICM benefits.
