-Summary:
The National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE) and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) are cosponsoring 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.

Instructors:
Webinar participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the scan outcomes and lessons from five presenters, all active participants on the scan. This includes the scan chair (formerly with New Jersey Department of Transportation, now with NOCoE), a representative from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the technical subject matter expert from Schneider Electric, and two representatives from state transportation agencies, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).
Presenters and Agenda:
Bob Sheehan, Program Manager for Multimodal ITS Research and Deployment with FHWA’s ITS Joint Program Office, will provide an overview introduction to integrated corridor management and provide context for the scan effort.
Dennis Motiani, NOCoE Executive Director and the scanning tour chair, will outline the purpose of the scanning tour and outline its broad goals.
Kevin Miller with Schneider Electric, who served as the technical subject matter expert for the scanning tour, will review the outcomes of the scan and key findings, including the development of an ICM Capability Maturity Model.
Nick Compin, Caltrans Division of Traffic Operations’ Advanced System Development Branch Chief and statewide project manager for the California Connected Corridors Pilot, will present a case study on ICM in California: the status of ICM at the time of the scan; key consideration for ICM deployment, and developments since the scan.
Todd Westhuis, Director of the Office of Traffic Safety and Mobility for NYSDOT, will provide another case study on ICM in New York State and provide another perspective on the same topics: the status of ICM at the time of the scan; key consideration for ICM deployment, and developments since the scan.
Bob Sheehan will wrap up with a discussion of FHWA activities, including ICM Deployment Planning Grants.
The presentations will be followed by a Q-and-A session moderated by Dennis Motiani.
Target Audience:
The target audience for this webinar includes CEOs/GMs/commissioners, directors/program managers, engineers, first-line supervisors, maintenance staff and managers, members of the public, operators, principal engineers, public safety officers, researchers/academics, senior engineers, senior managers, technicians, transit professionals, transportation planners. Anyone wanting to learn more about integrated corridor management.
