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 San Diego Integrated Corridor Management
(ICM) Initiative Demonstration. The ICM projects being deployed in San Diego include a suite of
strategies aimed at balancing corridor transportation supply and demand to promote overall corridor
efficiency and safety. Operational strategies to be deployed in the San Diego I-15 highway corridor
include: simulations to predict travel conditions for improved incident response, interdependent
response plans among agencies, traffic diversion to strategic arterials, traveler mode shift to the BRT
system during major freeway incidents, and comparative travel time information to the public and
operating agencies for freeway, HOT lanes, arterial streets, and BRT. 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, adaptive ramp metering, 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
