Application of Systems Engineering to a Major Integrated Corridor Mobility Project

This paper describes the application of systems engineering (SE) to a major innovative transportation project in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Interstate 80 (I-80) Integrated Corridor Mobility (ICM) Project. In addition to being one of the first applications of Active Traffic Management (ATM) to a freeway corridor in the U.S.A., it is also one of the first detailed applications of formal SE processes to a major highway traffic management project in the U.S.A. ATM involves providing instrumentation and signaling to actively manage the speed, lane availability and accessibility of a highway in real time to maximize the efficiency of the facility. While many highway projects have followed the principles of SE in the past, this project has closely followed the structure provided by the Federal Highways Administration’s (FHWA) Systems Engineering Guidebook for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
