16. Abstract This report documents the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Analysis Modeling and Simulation (AMS) tools and strategies used on a Test Corridor, presents results and lessons-learned, and documents the relative capability of AMS to support benefit-cost assessment for the successful implementation of ICM. The analysis took into account both recurrent and nonrecurrent corridor operational conditions; key ICM impacts may be lost if only “normal” travel conditions are considered. Performance measures used in the analysis include mobility, reliability, safety, emissions, fuel consumption, and benefit-cost. To the extent possible, the measures were reported by mode, facility type, and jurisdiction. ICM strategies analyzed include highway traveler information, transit traveler information, freeway ramp metering, HOT lane, arterial traffic signal coordination, and combinations of these strategies.
