Project Goals and Objectives

The goals and objectives of the I-210 Pilot are summarized in the following table. In addition to improving corridor performance through enhanced system monitoring, agency collaboration, and the use of decision support tools, a key aspect of the project is to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of ICM strategies and develop a roadmap for future system deployments in multiple corridor segments in California.s and funding for system expansion, deployment of new systems, or development of more advanced tools and capabilities

Goals

Objectives

Collaboration: Bring together corridor stakeholders to create an environment for cooperation
  • Develop a collective understanding and acceptance among all participating agencies and stakeholders of the I-210 Pilot’s planning, development, and deployment
  • Foster positive, collaborative, and ongoing joint system management practices among participating agencies

Decision support: Develop and deploy an integrated, advanced decision support system for use by the stakeholders as they actively manage the corridor
  • Integrate planning processes and transportation management procedures used by state, regional, and local agencies
  • Develop and deploy tools supporting proactive system management
  • Develop an initial set of proactive system management protocols, standard operating procedures, and action plans

Metrics: Measure institutional and pilot performance outcomes and indicators to help inform future transportation performance-based decision-making
  • Develop a set of performance measures to quantify the successes and performance impacts of the I-210 Pilot and Connected Corridors program in general

Roadmap: Formulate a roadmap for the cost-effective implementation of future innovations
  • Develop a pilot system that can be replicated on other corridors and be a model for other corridors in the state and country
  • Use the project to demonstrate the effectiveness of ICM strategies
  • Develop lessons learned and best practices to guide the development and deployment of future ICM systems in California
  • Use demonstrated system effectiveness to secure commitments and funding for system expansion, deployment of new systems, or development of more advanced tools and capabilities

Performance: Improve corridor performance
  • Improve traveler information, mobility, and safety
  • Reduce congestion and increase freeway-arterial corridor performance
  • Encourage, facilitate, and incorporate transit and multimodal travel
