Integrated Corridor Management: U.S. 75 Dallas, Texas – Analysis Plan

This Analysis Modeling and Simulation (AMS) Analysis Plan for the U.S. 75 Pioneer Corridor outlines the various tasks associated with the application of the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) AMS tools and strategies to the corridor, in support of a benefit-cost assessment of the proposed strategies. The report provides a brief description of the Pioneer Corridor in Dallas, Texas, and the methodology used for the AMS. It lays out ICM strategies that will be tested, and provides a list of the AMS scenarios. This report then defines performance measures that will be utilized in the analysis of the ICM strategies on the Pioneer Corridor and sets out the simulation model validation requirements and the data needs for this calibration. Finally, the last two sections of this report present an overview of the Pioneer Corridor AMS document that will be developed to summarize the results of the AMS effort and provides a schedule and a resource guide for the AMS tasks.
