摘要: The FAST-TRAC project is a multiyear implementation and evaluation of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in Oakland County located in southeastern Michigan. The FASTTRAC system is composed of two main components: an advanced traffic-management system called SCATS that optimizes network-wide signal timing based on real-time traffic conditions and two in-vehicle advanced traveler-information systems (ATIS). The purpose of the present study was to understand better how people use and what they think about the Ali-Scout ATIS system when they use it in their normal, everyday driving; that is, in a natural use settingWe examined Ali-Scout use by three age groups (19-to-29, 30-to-64, and 65-to-80) and sex by analyzing the self-reported uses and perceptions of subjects who drove a project-owned vehicle equipped with the system for their everyday driving for one month.Overall, this study showed that the Ali-Scout system was received positively by the majority of drivers. Subjects were generally happy with the system’s attributes and performance and used the system frequently for a variety of trip purposes. They reported that, in general, Ali-Scout improved their driving experience and seemed to reduce the congestion that they encountered. The system’s features receiving the worst assessment were generally related to autonomous-mode guidance. The study showed few differences in Ali-Scout uses and perceptions between sexes or between the two youngest age-groups. There were, however, several differences between the oldest age group and the other two age groups. Older drivers used the system more frequently but had greater problems learning, understanding, and using the system than younger drivers.
