Integrated Corridor Management: Implementation Guide and Lessons Learned (Final Report Version 2.0)

This implementation guide is intended for use by adopters of integrated corridor management (ICM) approaches and strategies to address congestion and travel time reliability issues within specific travel corridors. It introduces the topic of ICM and identifies the type of information system, the integrated corridor management system (ICMS) that is used to support transportation network managers and operators in applying ICM. The guide discusses typical issues (lessons learned) that arose during the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (U.S. DOT’s) research initiative, where the U.S. DOT partnered with eight transportation agencies in large metropolitan areas (known as “Pioneer Sites”) to research effective means of implementing ICM approaches in their major travel corridors. Each of the Pioneer Sites used a systems engineering approach to define the needs for ICM within their corridor and the needs and requirements for an ICMS to support ICM. Two of the original eight Pioneer Sites were selected to serve as Pioneer Demonstration Sites, where an actual ICMS was built, operated, maintained and evaluated to assess how effective ICM strategies were in improving the flow of traffic within the corridor. The guide offers suggestions for each stage of an implementation effort for an ICMS, to assist other agencies in benefitting from the research done to date and from the experiences of the Pioneer Sites. In addition to the material covered in the guide itself, there are extensive references to other documents and source material that can assist ICM adopters in successfully applying these concepts for their regions. Please note that this Version 2.0 of the ICM Implementation Guide and Lessons Learned supersedes Version 1.0 of the ICM Implementation Guide and Lessons Learned published in February of 2012. At the time the version 1.0 guide was written, the Dallas and San Diego ICM Pioneer Sites were still in the system definition and design stages of the project lifecycle. This version 2.0 update of the guide provides additional lessons learned and examples through the full implementation of the Dallas and San Diego ICM Pioneer Site projects.
