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.
What's New
- 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 Management Workshop at the 2009 ITE Technical Conference
USDOT is hosting an Integrated Corridor Management Workshop in Phoenix, AZ. The workshop will be offered on two days, March 23 and 24 from 2-3:30pm. (The content presented will be exactly the same so you only need to attend on one of the days). This workshop will provide lessons learned and best practices on developing an integrated corridor management system concept. The guidance is based on experience with USDOT and eight pioneer sites during the initial phase of an integrated corridor management research initiative. The workshop will include explanation of technical concepts, interactive dialogue and ideas for future engagement.

- 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.

USDOT Selects Three Pioneer Sites to Analyze, Model and Simulate their Proposed Integrated Corridor Management Systems
The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) will conduct analysis, modeling, and simulation (AMS) of proposed Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) systems (ICMS) for 3 of its 8 ICM Pioneer Sites this fall. The selected sites— Dallas, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota and San Diego, California—have the data, modeling and simulation tools and well-described ICMS needed to support analysis. Early results from this phase of the Department’s 5-year ICM Initiative are expected in 2009.

ICM Article Featured in October 2008 Issue of ANDINATRAFFIC (article in Spanish)
This article provides an overview of ICM.
- Analysis, Modeling and Simulation Results for the Test Corridor -- Article in September 2008 Issue of Mass Transit Magazine
The September 2008 Issue of Mass Transit features an article that discusses the results of the applying the ICM Analysis, Modeling and Simulation (AMS) methodology to a test corridor. The San Francisco Bay Area’s I-880 corridor served as the testbed for the AMS methodology.
-
Pioneer Site Concept of Operations and System Requirements Specifications Now Available
The ICM Pioneer Sites have completed development of their site-specific concept of operations (CONOPS) and requirements documents. These documents are now available online for several of the sites. Documents will be added for each site as they become available.
- Analysis, Modeling and Simulation Resources Now Available from the Knowledgebase Three AMS resources have recently been added to the Knowledgebase: ICM AMS Experimental Plan for the Test Corridor; ICM AMS Methodology; and ICM AMS Test Corridor Model Description
- Recordings and Presentations from ICM Pioneer Site Webinars Now Available!
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) held three webinars in July 2008 showcasing the eight ICM Pioneer Sites and their results to date with the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) initiative. Recordings of each webinar, as well as podcasts, PowerPoint presentations, and transcripts are now available.
