Cross-Jurisdictional Signal Coordination in Phoenix and Seattle: Lessons Learned from the Metropolitan Model Deployment Initiative Removing Barriers to Seamless Travel on Arterial Streets.

摘要

In 1996, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the Operation TimeSaver goal to deploy integrated Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure in 75 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. That year, the U.S. Department of Transportation also established the Metropolitan model Deployment Initiative (MMDI). The purpose of this effort was to create model deployments that represent integrated transportation management systems. The objectives of the initiative include determining the effects of increased deployment on traffic characteristics and operations and documenting the benefits that enabled the specific sites to be selected. The Metropolitan Model Deployment Initiative in Phoenix is call 'AZTech'.
