The purpose of the project was to estimate the benefits of applying ICM strategies to the U.S. 75 corridor. The base year for the U.S. 75 corridor modeling was 2007. The U.S. 75 team used the DIRECT traffic model developed by Southern Methodist University (SMU) as the mesoscopic model for this analysis
