Abstract:The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has estimated the costs of congestion at $200 billion a year in delayed shipments and wasted fuel and 4 billion hours lost by drivers in traffic. New roads alone cannot solve the problem because travel demand is growing at five times the rate of new construction. Better use of existing infrastructure is needed to keep up with demand.
The USDOT Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) initiative employs strategies like high-occupancy vehicle lanes and real-time alternative route recommendations to optimize road use. ICM is an integrated, multimodal approach that seeks to optimize the efficiency of a network of roads rather than focusing only on major roadways.
