Abstract:Dallas, TX; Minneapolis, MN; and San Diego, CA could not be more different in many ; ways. However, they share at least one similarity: they all have congested multimodal ; transportation corridors. In an effort to improve travel conditions, all three of these cities are ; designing integrated corridor management (ICM) systems in their busiest corridors. ; In 2010 stakeholders in Dallas, ; Minneapolis, and San Diego ; conducted analysis, modeling ; and simulation (AMS) to ; explore whether applying ICM ; strategies to a corridor could ; improve performance and ; to assess their planned ICM ; strategies. AMS results in all ; three corridors suggest that ICM will increase reliability while reducing travel time, delays, ; fuel consumption, and emissions. Benefit-to-cost ratios for ICM were shown to range from ; 10:1 to more than 20:1 over the life of the ICM system. Furthermore, the benefits of ICM ; appear to scale with travel demand and are especially meaningful under scenarios that ; unexpectedly constrain supply, such as traffic incidents.
