Application factors to identify device deployment densities (e.g. number of detectors per mile) as a function of traffic conditions are provided, as are evaluation models for evaluating the benefits of design alternatives based on traffic conditions. Design guidance and benefits evaluation include the following functions: (1) Non-recurrent congestion – Improvement of incident clearance time, (2) Non recurrent congestion – Incident information to motorists, (3) Recurrent congestion – Information to motorists, (4) Ramp metering, (5) Motorist service patrols.
Download or read book Economic Impacts of Intelligent Transportation Systems written by E Bekiaris and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-07-24 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are unique complexities associated with the economic valuation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and telematics. Traditional methods of quantitative analysis may not be appropriate in accurately and reliably assessing the economic impacts of these technologies. Although advanced transportation and related technologies are being planned and deployed at an increasingly rapid pace, many of the technologies are still relatively new, and their use may not be widespread. Much of the initial information and statistics gathered have been anecdotal and have focused more on benefits rather than costs. Therefore, difficulties arise due to the lack of historical data and 'lessons learned' from which to draw upon. In addition, compared with traditional transportation infrastructure, ITS technologies have different life cycles, cost structures, and a number of interrelated elements. This book addresses these concerns and proposes new economic assessment techniques as well as modifications to existing ones. Included are case studies from a multitude of North American, European, and Asian nations and major metropolitan areas covering a wide range of ITS technologies including freeway management, electronic toll collection, advanced driver assistance systems, and traveller information systems.

Book excerpt: This report presents the methodology and results of a study to develop a strategic plan to deploy Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS) throughout rural Arizona. Needs were identified by various stakeholders at Rural ITS Workshops, focus group meetings, and regional Coalition meetings around the state. These needs were then matched, where possible, to one or more of the 36 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) User Services defined in the National Program Plan and Advanced Rural Transportation Systems (ARTS) program. Using the National ITS Architecture as a guide, a conceptual system architecture was developed for Arizona, which includes integration with other architectures developed for previous strategic plans in the state.
Download or read book Planning for Intelligent Transportation Systems in Small Urban Areas written by Richard V. Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) has been a primary program focus of the U.S. Department of Transportation since its origination in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The federal ITS program funded early deployment planning studies for the 75 largest metropolitan areas, where significant congestion and pollution problems, as well as the size and complexity of the transportation systems, presented the greatest need for operational improvements. Recent ITS benefit studies have shown that a number of ITS technologies can have a significant effect on increasing the efficiency and safety of a region's transportation system. Now that the federal ITS program is mature, and benefits have been realized, the transportation system outside large urban areas in the United States is beginning to look toward information and communication technologies to address transportation goals. The federal government has recently initiated a rural ITS program, ARTS, to deploy ITS in rural areas. However, no specific program has focused on the needs of small urban areas, where 16.5 percent of the U.S. population lives. This study considers how ITS planning can aid small urban areas in determining appropriate ITS solutions for their transportation networks. This was accomplished through a case study of the Charlottesville, Virginia, region. Based on the findings, a number of recommendations for how best to plan for ITS in small urban areas in Virginia and other areas were made. These results include recommending the use of the Federal Highway Administration's ITS Planning Process, Version 2.1 for small urban area ITS studies and suggesting that the Virginia Department of Transportation incorporate the method in its planning for small urban areas. Other recommendations include using an additional market package screen for the ITS Planning Process and calling for the federal ITS program to fund planning studies in small urban areas throughout the United States.
