摘要：	Strategic planning for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in smaller metropolitan areas presents a number of difficulties. Transportation problems such as high levels of traffic congestion and complex operational challenges in both traffic and transit management often create interest in high tech solutions in large metropolitan areas. Such solutions are typically not viable in the nation's less populated regions, as solutions devised in Atlanta, Houston, Seattle and Phoenix usually do not apply to problems in places like Portland, Maine. Moreover, awareness of an experience with the use of electronics and communications systems among transportation system operators is often more limited in a small metropolitan region like Portland, Maine than in a major metropolitan center. This paper and presentation describes the successful ITS early deployment strategic planning process developed for the Portland region. This process began with assembly of relevant stakeholders, attention to raising stakeholders' awareness of ITS capabilities, costs, and benefits; development of a framework based on regional goals for evaluating ITS applications; preparation and ranking by stakeholders of a program of ITS projects; and completion of a report of findings and recommendations to regional, state and federal decision-makers. While not populous, the Portland, Maine region is a promising setting for ITS deployment. Portland is a multimodal environment for both passenger and freight movement. Passengers are served by one local and one international ferry operator, four local and two intercity bus companies, and a busy regional airport. Planning is also underway for the restoration of passenger rail service from Boston to Portland. Freight operations included containerized and bulk shipping services at the port. Rail and truck operations take place both portside and inland. The region is served by the Maine Turnpike, which has recently deployed electronic tolling, the state's first major ITS deployment. In addition, the region has a manageable number of agencies and decision-makers.
