21st Century Transportation Infrastructure Symposium: Linking Regional Planning and Operations for Effective ITS Deployment. Conference. Held in Washington, DC. on December 16-17, 1996.

摘要

On December 16-17, 1996, at the Sheraton Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C., more than one hundred regional planning practitioners, systems operators, and others met to examine current practices and to consider how best to adapt those practices to link planning, operations, systems management, and traveler information to obtain the most efficient use of our surface transportation system, and to accelerate the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The presenters and respondents were selected to share their insight and experiences. The purpose of the symposium was to help formulate recommendations for future research, policy, legislative, and administrative actions that may be considered by our offices and other public agencies to implement ITS in a regional setting. The symposium also addressed how best to incorporate improved regional and jurisdictional transportation management and operational practices, and ITS deployment into standard regional and/or statewide planning procedures, processes and practices. Finally, the symposium focused on the important linkages between regional transportation planning and operations of proposed and existing systems to enhance interagency and interjurisdictional information sharing.
