摘要: The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) signed by the U.S. Congress in December of 199 1 called for improvements in surface transportation through technological advancements. The U.S. Department of Transportation subsequently launched the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program, involving research. strategic planning, and operational tests of new technologies. These technologies promise to bring much needed operational improvements to the nations transportation system, and provide a safer, more convenient, and more efficient trip experience for the traveling public. The I-71 Corridor ITS Strategic Deployment Plan is an effort undertaken by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to develop a strategic plan for deploying ITS technologies. The vision for this project is to identify, innovative ITS technologies to satisfy the many challenges facing the rural I-71 Corridor between Columbus and Cleveland. The focus is on incident management, traveler information, and improved trucking operations. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed a Planning Process to aid local/regional agencies in the development of ITS Strategic Plans. In addition, a National Program Plan for ITS has been prepared to provide a general framework to guide ITS investment decisions and promote ITS goals. The National ITS Early Deployment Planning Program provides much needed assistance to state transportation agencies and MPOs for the development of local or corridor-wide long-term strategic deployment plans. This study was launched recognizing that the I-71 Corridor in Ohio is an excellent location for deployment of rural applications of ITS technologies.
