Dallas ICM will smarten up US-75

Nine stakeholder agencies, multiple modes of travel (including bus and rail), reliable and accurate travel time information, parking information, and active traffic diversion for incidents; these capabilities and more are now available through the Dallas Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) program along US-75 that will be going “Live” April 2013. The I-15 and I-75 corridors in San Diego, CA recently went Live with their ICM system in March 2013.

Nine stakeholder agencies, multiple modes of travel (including bus and rail), reliable and accurate travel time information, parking information and active traffic diversion for incidents; these capabilities and more are now available through the Dallas Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) program along US-75 that will be going 'Live' April 2013. The I-15 and I-75 corridors in San Diego, CA recently went Live with their ICM system in March 2013.

A multitude of ICM strategies can be developed for almost any situation, which is why stakeholders have spent the past several years, developing automated near real-time decision support systems (DSS) that will keep people and goods moving smoothly along the transportation system.

For a unique opportunity to gain an insight into these developments, visit the USDOT Booth 605 with specific demonstrations of the Dallas ICM on April 22 from 11:00 to 1:00 and of the San Diego ICM on April 23 from 11:00 to 1:00, and also attend the ICM workshop taking place on Wednesday, April 24 from 1:30 to 5:30pm.

    Integrated corridor management 'to enhance travel efficiency'
    New systems of software are coming together to form the technological backbone of a project that will apply practically to one corridor in Dallas, but influence travel across a wider area. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the lead agency for an extensive Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project in Dallas, covering an area stretching north east of downtown Dallas, 20 miles long by two miles wide. The corridor is defined loosely by the US-75 freeway and DART’s light rail ‘red line’. These are the theor

    Real time active traffic management improves travel times
    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat

    The Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management will take centre stage at the TSS-Transport Simulation Systems stand. Its dynamic, high-speed simulation of large areas allows traffic operators to accurately forecast the future network flow patterns that will result from a particular traffic management or information provision strategy.

    Developing integrated transport networks
    A major initiative in managing numerous transport networks as a single system has moved into a significant phase with design of sophisticated new ITS systems. Jon Masters reports. Detailed design work is under way on two pilot projects pursuing a common principle – that transportation can be made more efficient or effective if the various networks and modes of travel are managed as a whole system. This is the central tenet of the US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)
