| Generic ICM Concept of Operations |
This is a high-level Concept of Operations (Con Ops) for a "generic" 15 mile-corridor, consisting of freeway, arterial, bus and rail networks, and serving a central business district. The document's primary purpose is to provide an example of an ICM Con Ops that can be used by agency and network owners as the basis for developing their own corridor-specific and real-world Concept of Operations. |
Transportation professionals in the field seeking to implement ICM can use this document to develop their own concepts of operation for ICM. It can also help transportation professionals at all levels (Federal, State and local) understand all of the elements involved in ICM. It is intended to help practitioners flexibly design their own custom, tailored concept of operations based on their corridor's unique conditions and requirements.
NOTES:
- All information about the generic corridor herein is purely fictional, fabricated based on the Project Team's collective experience, to provide a basis for describing the ICM operational concepts herein. The CONOPS for a real corridor will have more information.
- The actual situation for most real-world corridors will undoubtedly be different from this generic corridor in terms of network types and other corridor characteristics, stakeholders, institutional and technical environments and the ICM concept and operational capabilities as discussed herein. Accordingly, users should tailor the information and/or sections within each chapter of this Generic CONOPS to develop their site-specific ICM CONOPS to meet any and all of their unique corridor conditions.
- The generic corridor and the associated CONOPS does not attempt to be all-inclusive with respect to the types of networks that might be included within a corridor, the ICM stakeholders, and the operational approaches and strategies to be deployed.

| ICM Implementation Guide |
Identifies and discusses the process steps needed to support the implementation and operation of an ICM system. It is intended as a guide for transportation professionals who will be involved in some stage of the life-cycle for an Integrated Corridor Management System (ICMS). |
Transportation professionals in the field who will be involved in some stage of the ICM lifecycle can use this document to gain a high-level overview of the process steps needed to develop, implement and operate an ICM system. It can also help transportation professionals at all levels (Federal, State and local) who are generally interested to learn more about what ICM is and how to implement it. Users should consider the Implementation Guidance as a "summary" document. Users can find more detailed information on the topics covered in this Implementation Guide in the other Foundational Research documents. |

| Develop Alternative Definitions for Corridor and Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) |
Discusses key attributes that were identified for possible inclusion in definitions used for the ICM initiative. It also presents final versions of these definitions, incorporating comments by FHWA and the ICM stakeholders. |
Transportation professionals in the field involved in some stage of the ICM lifecycle can use this document to help them define their ICM corridor, its boundaries, scope and reach. It offers various stakeholder and historical perspectives of how to define a corridor. |

| Relationship Between Corridor Management and Regional Management |
Compares and contrasts Integrated Corridor Management and Regional Management, identifying the similarities, differences, and relationships between Integrated Corridor Management and Regional Management. |
Transportation professionals at all levels involved in ICM or regional planning for operations efforts can use this document to help them understand the similarities and distinctions between concepts and terminology of regional management, regional ITS Architectures and ICM as well as how these concepts relate to each other. |
