Integrated corridor management (ICM) is an approach designed to actively monitor for atypical recurring and nonrecurring events that impact traffic on the most visibly congested highways or freeways that define a corridor. Because of near constant congestion, even minor events on an anchor facility can have a huge impact. ICM requires the institutional, operational, and technical integration of as many participating agencies as are available to combine their assets into one unified real-time response. A corridor is defined as the bounded “travel shed” of (mostly) commute and daily trips that are germane to the subject artery highway and the subordinate parallel and coexistent modes and routes that are also germane to that shed. A travel shed is the boundary of all last-mile trips that have a high feasibility of using the subject facility. Each unique travel shed, then, would have its own different ICM partners, including all proximate department of transportation regional transportation management centers, cities, or boroughs along that corridor as well as the agencies that operate in or oversee each individual shed. A neighboring travel shed of another, distinct ICM corridor would have a new mix of partner agencies and would be as different from the first one as it would be from a different region or State.
The vision of integrated corridor management (ICM) is that transportation networks will realize significant improvements in the efficient movement of ...
