Target Audience:
Suggested Prerequisites: Introduction to ITS Transit Standards and Transit Management Standards, Part 1 & 2 https://www.pcb.its.dot.gov/stds_training.aspx
Course credit: 1.75 PDH/1.75 CM
Course Description: Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) focuses on managing a transportation corridor by creating a framework for interaction and coordination among the various agencies that operate facilities along that corridor, including transit agencies and operators. Transit agencies can play an important role in the process of improving mobility and reduce congestion on a busy corridor through the collection and use of real-time information on the location and capacity of transit vehicles. Real-time information enhances the ability of an agency to provide additional capacity to improve person throughput. Module 13 provides an introduction to ICM that includes highlighting pertinent transit and other standards deployed through the use of ICM case studies.
There are four basic concepts within ICM that will be briefly described in this module: (1) Corridor modes of operation; (2) Strategic areas for ICM; (3) Conceptual levels within the corridor; and (4) ICM environment
Learning Objectives:
-
Describe Integrated Corridor Management (ICM).
-
Identify and describe standards associated with ICM.
-
Describe actual ICM deployments, including how each ICM works, the role(s) standards played in enabling each ICM deployment, and the use of standards to address deployment issues.
