摘要: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) utilize advanced technology components on a local as well as a regional basis. On a regional basis, as is the case in this study, funding, knowledge and operations resources are often pooled from many sources. Within this framework, this paper surveys the institutional issues that may arise in the implementation of ITS in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls region. The regional transportation infrastructure (e.g., highways, transit systems, surface streets and bridges) is in essence mature, with the result that demands for movement of people and goods must be met by means other than solely new road and bridge construction. Increasingly, ITS has been used to improve the movement of people and goods. ITS increases the efficiency of the existing infrastructure by coordinating individual systems and roadway facilities into a regional network. Efficient transportation across the region is critical to the economic development on both sides of the international border. On the United States side, the major governmental entities are Erie County and Niagara County, along with the cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls and the towns of Amherst, Cheektowaga and Tonawanda. The two-county area has a population of almost 1.3 million people.
