The concept of integrated corridor management (ICM) has received a lot of interest recently because of the perceived potential benefits it can offer. Several regional agencies have initiated the development of ICM plans to facilitate vehicular movements more effectively within the concerned corridors. However, very few of such studies have focused on quantifying the benefits associated with implementation of ICM strategies. This study, therefore, aimed at using traffic simulation as a tool for evaluating ICM strategies to obtain a preliminary understanding of the range of benefits that ICM can offer. Two levels of ICM strategies-low and high-were evaluated against a base case for four different traffic conditions, including normal, incident, special event, and inclement weather for peak traffic volumes. Each level of ICM strategy was compared to the base case using performance indicators such as network performance and person-hours of travel time. Based on the assumptions, the results indicated reductions in travel times in the range of 20 percent from base to low ICM and 27 percent from base to high ICM.
