Developing and applying state-of-the-practice modeling and simulation for system performance and reliability, complex policy questions and investment decisions.
Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) presents a key opportunity for transportation agencies today and many agencies have recently been making a significant effort to better lever
Recent research efforts, such as the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation (AMS) project, Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) 2 C10 project and SHRP2 L08 project, have demonstrated that existing AMS tools have limited capabilities to properly reflect the impacts of a proactive management approach on driver behavior through the full trip chain.
Traffic modeling, particularly mesoscopic-microscopic hybrid simulation, has played a key role in planning for the future of one of America’s shortest Interstates, the 1.3-mile Sheridan Expressway.
The objective of the Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) initiative is to demonstrate how intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies can efficiently and proactively manage the movement of people and goods in major transportation corridors.
