Federal Highway AdministrationColyar, JamesAlfelor, Roemer M.Federal Highway AdministrationThe primary objective of this project is to develop multiple simulation Testbeds/transportation models toevaluate the impacts of DMA connected vehicle applications and the active and dynamic transportationmanagement (ATDM) strategies. The outputs (modeling results) from this project will help USDOT prioritizetheir investment decisions for DMA and ATDM programs.The primary purpose of this report is to document the Analysis Plan for AMS Chicago Testbed. The reportexpands on detailed testbed description including the geographic location, modes, operational conditionsand cluster analysis details. In addition, the plan also provides details on the analysis scenarios, DMA/ATDMapplications and strategies that are evaluated using the Testbed and the plan to answer DMA/ATDM-specificresearch questions. The analysis plan provides details on the evaluation approach used to answer specificresearch questions. Additional data used for the testbed development and evaluation are provided in theAppendix
