The city of Santa Fe, NM has experienced an increase in roadway traffic, congestion, and accidents, and the current traffic management infrastructure is in need of improvement to handle it all. This project inventoried the current traffic infrastructure in the Santa Fe area and investigated methods for calculating accurate travel times throughout the city, with the goal of gathering enough data to perform an analysis of implementing an integrated traffic corridor in the city of Santa Fe. The project concluded that using INRIX data for travel times was reliable and easy to integrate into current systems, - and that implementing an integrated traffic corridor along two main roads in Santa Fe had an overall benefit-cost ratio of 75:1. These data will be used to provide accurate travel times to the public via roadside dynamic message signs, and potentially help the city of Santa Fe implement an integrated - corridor in future years to help reduce traffic congestion and accidents, improve traffic management, and provide a more pleasurable commute for those driving in and around Santa Fe.
