Technical Performance of ALI-SCOUT. FAST-TRAC Phase IIB Deliverable. No. 24BFinal Results Report

摘要

The FAST-TRAC (Faster and Safer Travel through Traffic Routing and AdvancedControls) Operational Field Test (OFT) is an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) project being conducted in Southeast Michigan, managed by the Road Commission of Oakland County (RCOC). The project involves the deployment and evaluation of both an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). The ATMS is a traffic control system called SCATS. The ATIS is Ali-Scout, the subject of this report, a route guidance system which provides turn-by-turn directions to a destination selected by the driver. The directions seek to produce the fastest route between the origin and the destination. This report describes the technical performance of the Ali-Scout system based on data collected during most of the 1996 calendar year.
