Study of Integrated Corridor Management for San Francisco Bay Area Interstate 880 Corridor

摘要

Although the transportation management systems at the Bay Area are consistent with the regional ITS plans, these management systems are less integrated. It is believed that higher level of integration among freeway and arterial systems, transit systems with considerations of all transportation needs and demands in the region will greatly enhance and improve the efficiency and productivity of all individual systems. ICM benefits include, to name a few, enhanced ability of the partner agencies to provide true integration of multiple operational components of the corridor, better management of non-recurrent congestion caused by major incidents, unexpected weather events, unexpectedly high travel demand, and major construction and maintenance activities by allowing the full capacity of the corridor to be utilized through improved integration, and improved capabilities to manage daily recurrent congestion in the corridor.
