San Diego I-15 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) System: Stage II (Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation)

This report provides background on efforts to date of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) System Program for the Interstate 15 corridor in San Diego County, one of eight sites selected to participate in the USDOT ICM program. The program’s goal is to counteract the effects of increasing congestion area on freeways, arterials and the public transit network. The report focuses on Stage II of the ICM project. Stage II work was scheduled for completion in Fall 2009, and was to be followed by Stage III, which includes implementation. The report describes the Decision Support System (DSS) which will eventually be able to generate suggested action plans in response to regional events such as daily recurring peak hour traffic, planned football games, or unexpected situation such as firestorms that disrupt traffic.
