Smart Corridors Purpose and Goal

Purpose: » Improve travel for all modes

(vehicles, freight and transit)

through low cost operational/ITS

solutions.

Goal: » Evaluate and prioritize the

candidate corridors (40) and select

four for implementation and pilot

projects.

3

Potential ITS and Operational Improvement

Improved Traveler Information » Arterial Dynamic Message Signs

» Earlier dissemination and information sharing

between agencies

» Parking availability at park and ride lots

» Improved freeway, arterial and transit traveler

information (pre-trip and en-route)

» Enhance mobile platform information

Traffic Management » Corridor signal coordination

» Work zone coordination

Incident Management » Reduced incident clearance times

» Incident signal retiming for arterials

» Coordinated signal operation

Transit Management » Arterial TSP

» Smart parking system

» Special events coordination

Purpose:

Ensure all corridors are logical candidates for Smart Corridor designation.

Purpose: Rank corridors based on evaluation criteria to identify strong candidates.

Purpose: Understand detailed potential benefits and impacts of strong candidates.

Purpose: Identify best Smart Corridor candidates for preliminary design.
