Tracking the Deployment of the Integrated Metropolitan Intelligent TransportationSystems (ITS) Infrastructure in the USA: FY99 Results

摘要

This report describes the results of a major data gathering effort aimed attracking deployment of nine infrastructure components of the metropolitan ITS infrastructure in 78 of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation. The nine components are: Freeway Management, Incident Management, Arterial Management, Electronic Toll Collection, Electronic Fare Payment, Transit Management, Highway-Rail Intersections, Emergency Management, and Regional Multimodal Traveler Information. Deployment is tracked through the use of indicators tied to the major functions of each component. In addition, integration of components is tracked through examining the transfer of information between components and the use of that information, once transferred. The report summarizes results at a national level and includes information on the number of metropolitan areas deploying selected technologies related to the indicators.
