Abstract This article was published in the June 2009 issue of Thinking Highways. It provides background information on the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Initiative’s 8 Pioneer Sites (the sites are: Dallas, TX, Houston, TX, San Antonio, TX, San Diego, CA, Oakland, CA, Minneapolis, MN, Seattle, WA, and Montgomery County, MD) and discusses the four phases of the ICM Initiative. This article also summarizes the Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation (AMS) methodology that the ICM Core Team developed. The team tested the methodology and validated it through the use of a Test Corridor similar to the Pioneer Sites’ corridors. This article also discusses the benefits of ICM that were identified through the testing of AMS strategies on the Test Corridor. Lastly, the article informs readers about the three sites chosen for AMS testing (Dallas, TX, San Diego, CA, and Minneapolis, MN) and the next steps for the ICM Initiative.
How to Use This article can be used to raise awareness about the ICM Initiative and to learn more about the four phases of the ICM Initiative, the AMS testing methodology and results from the Test Corridor, and the next steps for the ICM Initiative.
