Integrated Corridor Management: Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation for the U.S.-15 Corridor in Dallas, Texas—Post-Deployment Analysis Plan

Post-Deployment Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation (AMS) activities focus on identifying impacts and benefits of the “as-deployed” Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) system. The “as-deployed” ICM strategies may differ from “as-planned” ICM strategies. The differences could include ICM strategies that are not successfully deployed, ICM strategies that are deployed differently from planned because of technical issues, and ICM strategies that are deployed differently to take advantage of enhancements or impacts not anticipated before deployment. Further, Post-Deployment AMS activities take full advantage of site-specific traveler behavior and response characterization efforts conducted by the Volpe Center and the ICM Evaluation contractor activities included in the post-deployment efforts. The objective of the Post-Deployment AMS efforts is to ensure that the models and methodologies can sufficiently replicate and evaluate corridor conditions and the proposed ICM strategies after ICM deployment. In this stage, the AMS contractor and the Demonstration site staff will confirm, refine, and validate the parameters/assumptions that serve as the basis for the ICM strategies in these models. These updated and enhanced models and methodologies can provide further insight on ICM implementation and other operational benefits that will help guide the demonstration projects, future ICM deployments, as well as assist in the evaluation activities. This Post-Deployment Analysis Plan for the U.S.-75 Corridor outlines the various tasks associated with the application of the ICM AMS tools and strategies to this corridor in order to support the post-deployment analysis and demonstration of the proposed ICM system, and assist in the evaluation effort.
