Incorporating Freight, Transit, and Incident Response Stakeholders into Integrated Corridor Management (ICM): Processes and Strategies for Implementation

The objective of this research was to develop guidance for transportation decision makers to incorporate freight, transit, and incident response stakeholders into the integrated corridor management (ICM) process. ICM can range from simple to sophisticated and may continually change. The research will make use of existing FHWA and SHRP2 efforts, incorporating these and other efforts as needed. The guidance should address a broad range of operational and efficiency issues, including documented characteristics and potential approaches related to implementation of the ICM strategies such as, but not limited to the following: (1) Potential ICM Approaches: (a) Model cooperative procedures and agreements for freight, transit, and incident response stakeholders; (b) Operational constraints and opportunities for freight, transit, and incident response; (c) Needs of non-motorized users; (d) Examples of potential ICM strategies for freight, transit, and incident response stakeholders; and (e) Evaluation methodologies for measuring the effectiveness of the freight, transit, and incident response incorporation into ICM. (2) Characteristics of Congestion (a) Non-recurring conditions (e.g., crashes, weather, special events, work zones); (b) Recurring conditions (e.g., peak period congestion, bottlenecks); (c) Prolonged conditions (e.g., planned construction, seasonal disruptions); and (d) Recommended performance measures for freight, transit, and incident response stakeholders.
