Book excerpt: Managing existing and newly constructed highway corridors has recently become a significant concern in many states, including Iowa. As urban land and land on the urban fringe develops, there is pressure to add features such as commercial driveways, at-grade public road intersections, and traffic signals to arterial highway routes that should primarily serve high-speed traffic. This diminishes the speed and traffic capacity of such roadways and can also cause significant safety issues. if mobility and safety are diminished, the value of the highway investment is diminished. Since a major highway corridor improvement may cost tens of millions of dollars or more, corridor management is as critical to preserving that investment as is more "hard side" management practices such as pavement or bridge management. Corridor management is a process that applies access management principles to highway corridors in an attempt to balance the competing needs of traffic service, safety, and support for land development. This project helped to identify routes that should be given high priority for corridor management. The pilot study in the form of two corridor management case studies provides an analytical process that can be replicated along the other Iowa commuting corridors using commonly available transportation and land use data resources. It also offers a general set of guidelines for the Iowa Department of Transportation to use in the development of its own comprehensive corridor management program.

Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to transportation agency administrators, planners, attorneys, environmental officials, and engineers in federal, state, and local governments, as well as to citizens interested in corridor preservation. It is especially timely in view of the ISTEA provisions for corridor preservation, although the requirements and conditions are changing. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to the experience and status of corridor preservation for highways in the United States. The report describes the many elements of the corridor preservation process, including project development, advance acquisition, fee-simple acquisitions, and other options, as well as environmental issues. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents detailed information on acquisition techniques such as exactions, subdivision control ordinances, transfer of development rights, purchase options, and access management. Detailed discussions of maps of reservation and legal issues, such as land use law, are also addressed. In addition, innovations in corridor preservation are highlighted and future research is suggested. This synthesis also contains several case examples that illustrate a range of practice.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project was intended to produce a strategy for addressing current and future access management problems on state highway routes located just outside urban areas that serve as major routes for commuting into and out of major employment centers in Iowa. There were two basic goals: (1) to develop a ranking system for identifying high-priority segments for access management treatments on primary highways outside metro and urban areas and (2) to focus efforts on routes that are major commuting routes at present and in the future. The project focused on four-lane expressways and two-lane arterials most likely to serve extensive commuter traffic. Available spatial and statistical data were used to identify existing and possible future problem corridors with respect to access management. The research team developed a scheme for ranking commuter routes based on their need for attention to access management. This project was able to produce rankings for corridors based on a variety of factors, including proportion of crashes that appear to be access-related, severity of those crashes, and potential for improvement along corridors. Frequency and loss were found to be highly rank correlated; because of this, these indicators were not used together in developing final priority rankings. Most of the highest ranked routes are on two-lane rural cross sections, but a few are four-lane expressways with at-grade private driveways and public road intersections. The most important conclusion of the ranking system is that many of the poor-performing corridors are located in a single Iowa Department of Transportation district near two urban areas--Des Moines and Ames. A comprehensive approach to managing access along commuting corridors should be developed first in this district since the potential benefits would be highest in that region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this project was to explore the possibility of ICM in Suffolk County, NY. ICM is considered one of the key strategies of Transportation Systems Management and Operation (TSMO), which involves multimodal and multi jurisdictional efforts in managing congestion caused by incidents along major commute corridors. As part of this research effort, a data driven approach was adopted using available data sources to analyze, quantify, and identify incidents and their traffic impacts. The study area encompassed eight major roadways throughout the county. The trip pattern information from the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council Best Practice Model was supplemented by StreetLight Traffic Data to ensure the use of up-to-date traffic data in order to have an accurate understanding of traffic patterns. In addition, the extensive data available in TRANSCOM Data Fusion Engine (DFE) was used to identify incident scenarios and their travel time impacts, to be analyzed in the simulation model to assess benefits of ICM response plans. To evaluate the potential impacts of ICM response plans, different micro simulation scenarios (in TransModeler) were developed. They evaluated the benefits of ICM response plans that have been triggered to handle incidents along I-495 (Long Island Expressway). The scenarios analyzed incidents at different locations (Eastbound versus Westbound) as well as different time durations. The analysis results indicated potential travel time savings of 30-40% on average.
