Uneven Acceptance of Technology for Traffic Operations

摘要

Transportation technology and practices sometimes remain frozen in place and time. If wernare to accelerate and improve our service to the public, it is important to understand thernreasons for these uneven results. Reviewing a few well-known technological successes andrnfailures helps to illustrate how different technologies flourished or faltered. These examplesrnpoint to the need for improved public education of modern technology’s potential. This canrnbest be accomplished through improved performance measurement that produces data tornquantify the successful implementation of advanced technologies. Without reliablernaccounting of successes and failures, the public will never develop an understanding of whatrnis possible.
