摘要: |
The use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) with existing infrastructure could potentially increase capacity to satisfy the continually rising travel demand and system use. The reauthorization proposal of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) must address the use of ITS in improving the operation and management of the existing transportation system. Without ITS technologies, no practical and affordable alternatives exist to handle the expected increases in travel by private and commercial vehicles. This article describes how far ITS has come under the original ISTEA legislation and what is possible via ISTEA reauthorization or NEXTEA. Economic, safety, efficiency, and commercial benefits of ITS are highlighted. |
