I-95 Corridor Planning Study

Mead & Hunt was tasked with performing a comprehensive freeway corridor planning study to identify alternatives that address major bottlenecks as well as non-recurring congestion along the study corridor from I-495 to I-895. The I-95 corridor had been identified in MDOT strategic documents as having poor traffic operations, unreliable travel times and crash rates above statewide averages. Mead & Hunt compiled daily and peak hour traffic data, vehicle classifications, peak hour factors, travel times, incident event logs, and is using big data to explore origin-destination patterns. The project also incorporated analyzing alternatives for corridor travel time through key metrics and visualization using VISSIM.
