Already a winner of the 2013 560 ITS America award for Best New Innovative Practices the the Interstate 15 integrated corridor management (ICM) demonstrator project in San Diego has recently completed a successful coordinated test plan with all members of the Interstate 15 integrated corridor management project team.

This test, by project owner SANDAG (1789 San Diego Association of Governments) involved all the agency partners who witnessed the first ever fully automated multi-modal corridor handling of a freeway incident.

TSS -2195 Transport Simulation Systems’ Aimsun Online, the company’s real-time simulation-based decision support system (DSS) for traffic management is one of the subsystems of the DSS at the heart of the initiative, which aims to ease congestion in urban areas through the coordination of transportation operation.

The DSS combines smart traffic management technologies such as network traffic prediction, on-line micro-simulation analysis and real-time response strategy assessment to enable system managers to anticipate and resolve problems before they arise using ICM strategies such as responsive traffic light synchronisation, coordinated ramp metering or bus priority on arterials.
