Intersection Control Evaluation

Intersection control evaluation (ICE) is a data–driven, performance–based framework to screen intersection alternatives and identify an optimal solution.

Developing or adopting an ICE policy offers transportation agencies the following benefits:

  • Implementation of safer, more balanced, and more
    cost–effective solutions
  • Consistent documentation to support transparency of
    decisions
  • Increased awareness of innovative solutions
  • Objective performance metrics for decision–making
