RES2023-18: Evaluating the Impacts of I-24 Smart Corridor Strategies
The primary traffic improvement strategies traditionally consist of road widening type of major infrastructural undertakings. However, due to physical, environmental, and financial constraints, further widening is not feasible, nor will it permanently reduce congestion on the I-24 corridor. Instead, several smarter and often less expensive strategies are to be implemented in phased deployments in the corridor. This study will identify appropriate performance measures for gauging the conditions of corridor traffic operations and crash safety. By comparing these performance measures before and after the deployment of various countermeasure strategies, one could evaluate the effectiveness and benefits of different strategies, or the combination of them. The primary focuses here are on traffic operational condition and crash safety condition before and after the implementation of the strategies in Phases 1 and 2 of the I-24 Smart Corridor
