• Abstract:
  This report presents the test plan for conducting the Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) for the United States ; Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) evaluation of the Dallas U.S. 75 Integrated Corridor ; Management (ICM) Initiative Demonstration. The ICM projects being deployed in Dallas include a ; suite of strategies aimed at balancing U.S. 75 corridor transportation supply and demand to promote ; overall corridor efficiency and safety. Operational strategies to be deployed in the Dallas U.S. 75 ; highway corridor include: simulations to predict travel conditions for improved incident response, ; interdependent response plans among agencies, traffic diversion to frontage roads and strategic arterials, ; traveler mode shift to the light rail system during major freeway incidents, and comparative travel time ; information to the public and operating agencies for freeway, HOV lanes, frontage roads, arterial streets, ; and light-rail transit lane. Technologies that will be used to carry out these strategies include a Decision ; Support System, a 511 traveler information system (telephone and website), a regional center-to-center ; information exchange network, dynamic message signs, parking management systems, transit signal ; priority and responsive traffic signals. This BCA Data Test Plan is based on the ICM Initiative ; Demonstration National Evaluation Framework. This test plan provides an overview of the BCA ; framework and describes the specific qualitative and quantitative data that will be collected to support ; the analysis. Data analysis methodologies as well as risks and mitigations associated with this ; evaluation analysis are also discussed in this test plan.
