The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive traffic simulation model using the microscopic computer simulation software, VISSIM, for the PR 22 Corridor. The models were developed to evaluate 2010 existing conditions along the corridor and analyze alternatives including the implementation of innovative signal timing and intersection designs at the intersections. The results of this study will be used as a results-oriented planning tool for the CCMPO and the City of Corpus Christi to make planning decisions regarding this corridor.

2010 Regional Travel Speed Study Report The primary purpose of the 2010 Travel Speed Study is to evaluate the transportation system and prepare a report as part of the Congestion Management Process (CMP) in compliance with the SAFETEA-LU requirements. The secondary purpose of the study was to identify trends in congestion and travel time in order to identify problem locations for possible improvements. This year, the relative pavement roughness was also evaluated to identify the pavement segments with the worst roughness within the MPO boundaries. A congestion mitigation plan will be developed in the next phase of this study after review of the congestion results by CCMPO. The study is 2.87 MB in size. It has been divided into sections for easier download or you can download the complete study below. CCMPO Linear Referencing System » Download Complete Study » or Request CD No. 0317 »
Traffic Signal Coordination Planning &
Development The Traffic Signal Coordination Planning & Development provides a comprehensive evaluation of existing coordinated traffic signal systems within the metropolitan areas of Nueces and San Patricio Counties. The study list Short-Term and Long-Term plan recommendations to increase the mobility and reduce delay, travel time, and fuel consumption. The Traffic Signal Warrant Study determine the need for traffic signal installation at the intersections in Corpus Christi and Portland. Synchro Traffic Analysis tables are available upon request.

Congestion Management Process The Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization Congestion Management Process (CMP), which grew from the Congestion Management System (CMS), is intended to serve as an organized and transparent way for our planning area to identify and manage congestion, connect performance measures to support funding for projects, and evaluate recommended strategies to ensure we are effectively addressing congestion.

It is necessary for metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) to maintain an accurate, up to date regional transportation model in order to conform with State and Federal regulations for air quality and transportation projects. MPO’s update and calibrate their models using current information on the roadway network, area development, and other relevant characteristics such as travel time and speed data. The primary purpose of the 2006 Travel Speed Study is to evaluate the transportation system and prepare a report as part of the Congestion Management Process in compliance with the SAFETEA-LU requirements. The secondary purpose of the study was to identify trends in congestion and travel time in order to identify problem locations for possible improvements. Download Study » or Request CD No. 0708 »
The Corpus Christi MPO has developed a congestion management system (CMS) for the metropolitan area. One of the CMS strategies is addressing capacity improvements through access management techniques. Access management is defined as the systematic control of the location, spacing, operation and design of driveways, medians, median openings, traffic signals, interchanges, and street connections to maintain safety at a roadway’s full traffic carrying capacity. Implementing an access management program will encourage smooth and safe traffic flow on a community’s roadways and will help communities avoid some of the traffic problems caused by uncontrolled strip development. |
OVERVIEW:
Roadways are the most visible and productive component of our national, state, and regional transportation infrastructure. The
Corpus Christi region benefits from easy access to a U.S. Interstate and State
Highways. However, those facilities demand constant monitoring, maintenance, and management to ensure an acceptable level of service for a growing region. ARCHIVE LIST:
