Indiana DOT Selection

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) recently selected Corradino for three assignments:

• On-Call Long Range Transportation Planning
• Update of the Indiana Statewide Travel Demand Model
• Design of five structure replacements

Each is described below.

======================================================

On-Call Long Range Transportation Planning
Corradino will assist INDOT to carry out technical planning support services for air quality conformity, statewide land-use model update, and other support related to the statewide travel demand model (ISTDM). The tasks identified so far include:

1. Revising the existing Indiana TransCAD-based Air Quality Post-Processor (AQPP) for the Northwest Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC);
2. Improving the existing INDOT Traffic Forecasting Tool (TFT) to integrate recent traffic count data, add new analysis features, and be compatible with the latest TransCAD version;
3. Revising the existing INDOT Land Use Model to be compatible with the latest TransCAD version, improving the Land Use Model’s connectivity with ISTDM, exporting land use information by desired geographic units.
4. Corradino is the prime consultant with Cambridge Systematics and DLZ as sub-consultants. This is a two-year contract, with INDOT’s option to renew one time for both time and budget.

======================================================

Update of the Indiana Statewide Travel Demand Model
Corradino is a sub-consultant to Cambridge Systematics to update the Indiana Statewide Travel Demand Model (ISTDM). ISTDM is a TransCAD-based, 4-step traditional travel demand model with a commodity-based freight model component. The major updates of ISTDM will include:

1. Developing a new base year of 2015 and extend the model horizon year from 2035 to 2045
   
2. Redeveloping the TAZ/Network
3. Updating the freight model
4. Developing a new trip distribution
5. Updating the mode choice model
6. Incorporating a new time-of-day algorithm
7. Converting to the latest TransCAD version

=======================================================

Bridge Replacement Design
Corradino will design five bridge replacements in the Crawfordsville DOT District. The services include: environmental document preparation; hydraulic analysis; waters report; permit applications; plan development and utility coordination. The projects, estimated at almost $5 million to complete, are at the following locations:

1. US 421, south of SR 47 in Boone County;
2. US 421, south of SR 28 south junction in Clinton County;
3. US 136, east of SR 267 in Hendricks County; US 40, 3.00 miles east of SR 75 in Hendricks County
4. US 40, west of SR 75 in Putnam County.
