ManagementManagementITS Initiatives

• USDOT ITS program reoriented to focus on fewer, larger, higher-risk, high-payoff “major initiatives”

• Nine Major initiatives were approved by the Management Council

• Directly support USDOT’s goals of safety, mobility and global connectivity

• Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) is one of the major ITS initiatives started in 2004

ManagementManagementCorridors

• Currently surface transportation systems are made up of several independent networks– Freeways, including managed lanes

– Arterials

– Bus Routes

– Rail Transit

• Efforts to date to “reduce congestion” have focused on optimization of individual networks

• These parallel network links overlay to form transportation corridors – Metropolitan areas contain several major corridors

• Corridors offer an opportunity to operate and optimize the entire system as opposed to the individual networks

CorridorCorridor

ManagementManagementInitial Definitions

• Corridor– A corridor is defined as a combination of discrete

adjacent surface transportation networks (e.g., freeway, arterial, transit networks) that link the same major origins and destinations.

• Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)– Integrated corridor management is the coordination of

individual network operations between adjacent facilities that creates an interconnected system capable of cross- network travel management.

Integrated Corridor Management Initiative

• Vision– Improved mobility through integrated management of

transportation assets – freeways, arterials, transit, managed lanes – in major transportation corridors in metropolitan areas

• Approach– Address Institutional, operational, and technical

barriers to successful integrated corridor management– Demonstrate how mobility, safety and productivity can

be increased in major corridors by• Efficient, effective, proactive use of ITS technology• Improved use of real-time data sharing• Implementing demand management strategies

IntegratedIntegrated

CorridorCorridor

ManagementManagementMissing Integration

• Institutional Integration– Lack of operational capability and technology

that supports cross network distribution of responsibilities and sharing of control

• Operational Integration– Lack of integrated cross network operational

strategies and analysis capabilities• Technical Integration

– Lack of cross network device-to-device data, communication, and procedure integration
