Book excerpt: This thesis looks at operational strategies to increase capacity within the context of Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) under a non-recurring Interstate incident scenario. This incident scenario creates lengthy queues and increased delay and travel times on the Interstate, forcing a portion of Interstate traffic to utilize alternate routes throughout the corridor, changing the network traffic patterns. Particular operational strategies are tested under this premise to qualify and mildly quantify the benefits of relaying incident and diversion routing information to corridor drivers, mimicking ITS information dissemination elements such as changeable message signs, highway advisory radio, in vehicle navigation systems and etc. This thesis assumes idealized institutional ICM aspects, data-sharing, and technology integration. The experimental analysis for the corridor network was conducted in VISSIM microsimulation, with its NEMA signal interface, also making use of VISUM macrosimulation, and Synchro 6 signal timing optimization. Based upon the results of this analysis, it was concluded that for the study area, implementing ICM strategies pertaining to advance driver warning and routing information pertaining to an incident can mildly reduce travel time and delay at the entire network-level, but travel time and delay do increase on the incident roadway corridor level when compared to a do nothing scenario during the off-peak period. This research also successfully validates the ability to convert a regional planning-level model into a working microsimulation, operations-level model.

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.
Download or read book Identifying and Prototyping Integrated Corridor Management ICM Strategies for Application in Virginia written by Sampson K. Asare and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highway congestion is a major problem in urban transportation, and the search for feasible mitigation measures continues to evolve with advancement in technology and better understanding of traveler behavior. Due to institutional barriers and traditional practices, individual subsystems within a corridor -for example, arterial signal control systems and transit systems- have been operated independently, in isolation from each other. This management approach often leads to improving the performance of one subsystem at the expense of others. A more efficient approach that has the potential to improve corridor-wide mobility is to coordinate the management of the individual transportation subsystems in order to make them operate collaboratively. This holistic approach is referred to as integrated corridor management (ICM). In order to explore and demonstrate the potential for ICM application in Virginia, an investigation into the factors that are critical to its successful implementation and operation was conducted. Critical success factors were identified from the eight ICM pioneer sites sponsored by a U.S. Department of Transportation ICM initiative. The three most critical factors identified include (1) a robust Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure; (2) the need for stakeholder partnerships and development of institutional frameworks within which ICM will be implemented and operated; and (3) the need to adopt standards and protocols through which information will be disseminated. Additionally, the potential effectiveness of ICM as a congestion mitigation measure in Virginia was explored by prototyping the application of a set of ICM strategies in a simulation environment using a segment of the I-95/I-395 corridor (between mile marker 152 and mile marker 163) as a test bed. The strategies implemented include variable speed limits; ramp metering; transit signal priority; financial incentives (reduction in transit and parking fees); high occupancy toll (HOT)/high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and HOV bypass; and increased transit and parking capacity. Analysis of the simulation results revealed that corridor person flow per hour had the potential to be increased by 14% under non-incident traffic conditions, compared to 38% during incident conditions. In terms of average travel time, the I-95 general purpose lanes could potentially experience a reduction of 48% and 58% under non-incident and incident traffic conditions, respectively. Whereas the average travel time on the HOV lanes remained essentially unchanged, average travel times on the primary arterial (U.S. 1N) improved by 29% under both non-incident and incident conditions. Additionally, the amount of fuel usage was reduced by 34% and 33% during non-incident and incident conditions, respectively. Although the cost of ICM implementation is high, benefit-cost ratios of 4:1 and 6:1were obtained for non-incident and incident conditions, respectively. Based on the analysis results, it is recommended that variable speed limits, increased transit and parking capacities, HOV bypass lanes, and HOV/HOT lanes be considered the most promising for future ICM implementation in Virginia.
