The Minnesota Department of Transportation, in cooperation with Hennepin County and the cities of Bloomington, Edina and Richfield, is conducting an operational test of an integrated corridor traffic management system (ICTM). The test involves an eight-mile-long segment of I-494 in the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the adjacent arterial street system, shown in Exhibit A. In general, the test involves the phased implementation of an adaptive traffic control system with both freeway ramp meter and arterial traffic signals with the ability to continuously adjust timing plans in response to real-time flow conditions. This interim report documents the evaluation analysis of the initial ICTM project implementation phase involving Modules 1 and 2 which includes adaptive controls at 27 ramp meters and integration with the existing freeway management system (FMS) as Module 1. |
