| 摘要： | A safe and efficient transportation system is essential to economic competitiveness as companies rely on just-in-time delivery in a "moving-warehouse" environment. However, the nation and states are confronting enormous infrastructure challenges. The number of roads and bridges at or near poor condition is increasing. The number of vehicles on U.S. roads is at an all-time high, and the number of miles driven by motorists is increasing every year; both trends are contributing to increased road wear and traffic congestion. Both Congress, in considering proposals to reauthorize surface transportation legislation, and states, on an ongoing basis, face major investment decisions on infrastructure rehabilitation, congestion management, air quality management, and safety. Moreover, limited funds are available to address transportation infrastructure needs. Among the tools to address these needs is a group of technologies known as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS is the application of advanced information processing and communications, sensing, and control technologies to surface transportation. It seeks to promote more efficient use of the existing highway and transportation network, increase safety and mobility, and decrease the environmental costs of travel. This Issue Brief summarizes national ITS goals and state transportation needs. It reviews states' experience with ITS to date and discusses the utility of ITS technologies to improve transportation infrastructure. The Issue Brief also provides cost/benefit analysis information on state administration of commercial vehicle operations and explores the role of the federal government and the private sector with respect to ITS deployment. |
