Another win for San Diego’s integrated corridor management system

The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) integrated corridor management (ICM) system on Interstate 15 in San Diego, California, has just received the California Transportation Foundation award for Operational Efficiency Program, for the second time in three years.

The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) integrated corridor management (ICM) system on Interstate 15 in San Diego, California, has just received the California Transportation Foundation award for Operational Efficiency Program, for the second time in three years.

This ICM project centres around a decision support system, for which TSS provides the 7320 Aimsun Online modelling tool.

Thanks in part to the success of the ICM system, in 2015 USDOT added the SANDAG ICM network to the Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) Analysis, Modelling and Simulation (AMS) Testbed Project. This enables SANDAG to develop the tools needed to model both the communications and functionality of connected vehicles within the platform, including intelligent network flow optimisation and cooperative adaptive cruise control.

The system has been running in an automated state since March 2014, taking automatic control of signals and ramps when recommended by the simulated evaluations. The most recent update is the introduction of 40 alternate route signs along the arterials to guide drivers through the surface streets from and to the highway during a diversion.

  • The case for using toll revenues to fund Interstate improvements
    May 11, 2012
    High road toll increases threaten new regulation, but states should be free to use toll revenue for Interstate improvements. Bob Poole reports Large toll rate increases have been implemented recently by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, justified in part to help pay for its World Trade Center project. In response, a bill was introduced in Congress that would allow the Secretary of Transportation to regulate tolls on every bridge on the country’s Interstates and other federally aided highways. F

    Rhode Island Department of Transport (RIDOT) is undertaking a US$2 million project to upgrade the signing and striping at 145 locations, more than 200 actual ramps, and install detection systems at 24 high-risk areas. The systems not only alert a driver who travelling in the wrong direction, they notify police and other motorists of a potential wrong-way driver. At the two dozen high-risk areas, most in the Providence metropolitan area, new detection systems will sense if a driver has entered a highway o
