In late 2009, Dallas, TX and San Diego, CA were selected by the U.S. DOT to demonstrate their ICM systems. The ICM Demonstration Sites have revised their concept of operations and systems requirements documentation based on the results of their analysis, modeling, and simulation (AMS) activities, and are preparing to begin construction, installation, and integration of their ICMS.
U.S. DOT Goals of Demonstration Phase
- Show the benefits of ICM through improvement in corridor performance using realistic and useful metrics.
- Transfer ICM concepts from successful ICM deployments to future ICM adopters.
- Validate the following hypotheses – ICM will:
- Improve Situational Awareness
- Enhance Response and Control
- Better Inform Travelers
- Improve Corridor Performance
Dallas and San Diego Pioneer Site ICM Vision
Dallas
ICM will integrate the regional systems and operations along the US-75 corridor using a decentralized approach. Travelers will have access to real-time information about traffic and travel times, public transit, and parking availability through wireless and web-based alerts as well as dynamic message signs on the roads to help them plan their routes, and make adjustments as needed in response to changing conditions. The ICMS will also support improved incident management along the corridor.
San Diego
San Diego’s ICMS aims to proactively and collaboratively manage the I-15 corridor to maximize transportation system performance and enable travelers the opportunity to make convenient shifts among modes and routes. Improved mobility for people, goods, and services will be achieved by improving current levels of system integration and through continued collaboration among the corridor’s institutional partners and their native functional environments or systems. With ICM, actions taken by individual agencies or networks will be made based on the condition of and the impact on the entire corridor.
