Phoenix's Roadway Closure and Restriction System. Lessons Learned from theMetropolitan Model Deployment Initiative. Providing Enhanced Traffic Information to the Public

摘要

The Phoenix, Arizona, Metropolitan Model Deployment was one of four citiesincluded in the Metropolitan Model Deployment Initiative (MMDI). The initiative was set forth in 1996 to serve as model deployments of ITS infrastructure and integration. One of the goals of the MMDI is to disseminate information on the lessons learned from the deployments to assist other cities who may be considering using and/or integrating ITS. The goals of the AZTech project are to provide improved safety and regional mobility through enhanced traffic management and regional, multimodal traveler information. The Roadway Closure and Restriction System is an avenue by which improved regional traveler information can be gathered and disseminated. The intent of this report is to present a project description and lessons learned from the Roadway Closure and Restriction System (RCRS), one of the 15 projects deployed as part of AZTech, the Metropolitan Model Deployment Initiative for the Phoenix metropolitan area.
