• Abstract:
  The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has initiated major planning efforts to improve transportation
  
  efficiency, safety, and sustainability on critical highway corridors through its Comprehensive Highway Corridor
  
  (CHC) program. This project developed a Model Of Sustainability and Integrated Corridors (MOSAIC) to assist SHA
  
  in selecting the most sustainable corridor improvement option for its Highway Needs Inventory and long range
  
  planning processes. Products from this research project will also help SHA achieve its mobility, safety, socioeconomic and environmental stewardship objectives.
  
  Phase 1 of the project focused on defining a comprehensive set of sustainability indicators that could be quantitatively
  
  evaluated for major geometric improvement options, such as: adding general purpose lanes and converting at-grade
  
  intersections to grade-separated interchanges. Phase 2 of the project focused on extending this quantitative evaluation
  
  of sustainability indicators to additional multimodal corridor improvement options, including high occupancy vehicle
  
  (HOV) lane, high occupancy toll (HOT) lane, bus rapid transit/bus-only lane, light rail transit, truck-only lane, express
  
  toll lane, and road diet (i.e. lane removal). Phase 3 of the project further extends MOSAIC’s ability to analyze
  
  multiple-improvement options. In addition, comprehensive calibration and validation is conducted using Maryland
  
  data to customize MOSAIC to local Maryland conditions.
