Deployed since 1991, FAST-TRAC (Faster and Safer Travel-Traffic Routing and Advanced Control) in Oakland County, Michigan, is one of the largest field tests of ITS technologies nationwide. This project integrates Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) with Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and involves public-private participation among various government agencies, enterprises, and citizen groups. On the ATMS side, FAST-TRAC uses a real time computerized traffic signal control system (SCATS, Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System). This project also utilizes Autoscope developed by Image Sensing System Inc. (ISS), and some traditional underground loop detectors to detect real time traffic demand at each equipped intersection. On the ATIS side, FAST-TRAC deploys a dynamic route guidance system (ALI-SCOUT) to provide equipped travelers with real time route guidance services. In order to serve the systems needs for centralized control, a traffic operation center (TOC) was established in 1992. This study organizes all FAST-TRAC related cost items based on functional categories. It is hoped that this study will serve as a source of information useful both to the project evaluation task, and as a reference for cities and regions that may seek to develop similar ITS applications. This document aims to facilitate communication among all relevant parties in order to ensure adequate coverage and classification of all cost items. |
