| Abstract | Dallas, TX; Minneapolis, MN; and San Diego, CA could not be more different in many ways. However, they share at least one similarity: they all have congested multimodal transportation corridors. In an effort to improve travel conditions, all three of these cities are designing integrated corridor management (ICM) systems in their busiest corridors. In 2010 stakeholders in Dallas, Minneapolis, and San Diego conducted analysis, modeling and simulation (AMS) to explore whether applying ICM strategies to a corridor could improve performance and to assess their planned ICM strategies. AMS results in all three corridors suggest that ICM will increase reliability while reducing travel time, delays, fuel consumption, and emissions. Benefit-to-cost ratios for ICM were shown to range from 10:1 to more than 20:1 over the life of the ICM system. Furthermore, the benefits of ICM appear to scale with travel demand and are especially meaningful under scenarios that unexpectedly constrain supply, such as traffic incidents. |
