Integrated Corridor Management Systems

The efforts to date to reduce surface transportation congestion have focused on optimization of individual networks. Corridors offer an opportunity to operate and optimize the entire system as opposed to the individual networks. Through the Integrated Corridor Management Systems initiative, the USDOT will provide guidance to assist agencies in implementing Integrated Corridor Operations, create supporting analysis tools, approaches, and technical standards, and demonstrate the value of Integrated Corridor Management.

  ICM featured in the latest edition of Horizons, a quarterly newsletter from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA).  To read the latest newsletter and ICM article about Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation check out http://www.rita.dot.gov/publications/horizons/2009_05_01/
• Notes from Three Workshops Addressing “ICM Transit Data Gaps” Now Available
  Real-time transit data is needed to support mode shift by travelers to transit, an important ICM strategy; specifically, real-time parking space availability at park-and-ride facilities and real-time passenger loads on buses and trains.   Notes are now available from three recent workshops the USDOT conducted with experts and stakeholders to address ideas and initiatives underway to narrow this gap, and to help corridor managers develop or adapt effective ICM strategies in the meantime.

• Integrated Corridor System Management Modeling Best Practices Workshop
  The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is sponsoring the Integrated Corridor System Management Modeling Best Practices Workshop on September 14-15, 2009, in Irvine, California.  The workshop is designed to explore corridor study experiences, identify best practices, discuss data needs and collection methods, and develop a collective research agenda on integrated corridor systems management and modeling.
