Title: INCORPORATING ITS INTO CORRIDOR PLANNING : OVERVIEW OF THE SEATTLE CASE STUDY
Abstract: This paper presents initial results from an ongoing study to develop techniques for incorporating ITS into the transportation planning process. The objective of this effort is to develop an analysis framework for the assessment of ITS options as part of the transportation planning process. Various alternatives were defined to alleviate congestion in a major transportation corridor. These included traditional transportation construction projects with and without ITS enhancements. The specific ITS services analyzed included advanced traffic management systems, advanced transit management systems, incident and emergency management systems, as well as advanced traveler information services. The methodology developed includes the seamless merging of a traditional transportation planning model (EMME/2) with a large-scale transportation network simulation model (INTEGRATION). In addition techniques were developed to define and capture the inter-day and annual variability of traffic conditions, and the impact of specific ITS services was assessed under these conditions
