Overview
ICM: Scan Findings, Updates and Next Steps/NCHRP U.S. Domestic Scan Program/NOCoE webinar recording.
The National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE) and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) co-sponsored a webinar featuring the outcomes of a scanning tour on Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) conducted as part of the U.S. Domestic Scan Program (NCHRP Project 20-68A, domesticscan.org).
ICM allows neighboring jurisdictions to collaborate in order to improve efficiency, operations, and decision-making across a multimodal transportation corridor. The scanning tour, conducted in June and July of 2014, convened a team of state and national representatives involved in engineering, planning, and operations for ICM, traffic management, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
During a two-week period, the team visited five regional corridors (Dallas, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania, Phoenix, and San Diego). The scan provided a format for scan member to learn firsthand from practitioners in these regions about ICM advances and leading practices and to ask questions about issues, barriers and opportunities.
As detailed in the scan final report, the scan team identified several attributes that regions need to implement for their ICM programs to be successful. The team also identified key items that are needed for any area considering an ICM program. Another major outcome of the scan was the development of a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for ICM that illustrates the evolutionary processes for implementing and improving an ICM program. The CMM can help agencies in a corridor establish their current maturity levels and plan the most appropriate implementation steps.
