ITS Strategic Deployment Plan. Nashville Area Intelligent Transportation Systems: Early Deployment Study. Technical Memorandum No. 8;Final rept

摘要

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of advanced information processing, communications, vehicle sensing, and central monitoring and control technologies to surface transportation. The objective of ITS is to promote more efficient use of the existing highway and transportation network, to increase safety and mobility, and to decrease the environmental costs of travel. This document describes the results, findings, and recommendations of an ITS early deployment study. The goal of this study was to develop a Strategic Plan for deployment of ITS technologies within the Nashville Metro Area and to create a long-term coalition of ITS stakeholders, with the objective of expanding the implementation of ITS technologies throughout the Nashville Metro Area.
