Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) hold great promise for improving the efficiency and safety of multimodal transportation systems. However, to gain the most benefit from these technologies, transportation professionals need to consider ITS solutions to transportation problems as part of the ongoing planning, implementation, and operations activities for highways, transit systems, commercial vehicle operations and other travel modes. This report provides information on how ITS technologies can be considered as an integral part of an overall transportation program at both the metropolitan and statewide level. Opportunities are described for considering ITS applications to meet transportation needs and improve system operation as part of the overall transportation planning process, in major metropolitan investment and corridor or subarea studies, as well as ongoing systems operation and management activities. |
