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.

  • 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 sites are: Dallas, Texas, San Diego, California, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. To learn more about these three sites, visit  http://www.its.dot.gov/icms/docs/knowledgebase/html/news_fall08.htm.
  • 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.
