摘要：	This report documents the implementation and operation of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's Advanced Public Transportation Systems (ITS MARTA '96) as part of a showcase of Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies deployed for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The short time frame between funding for the project and the opening data of the Olympics imposed severe time constraints on the development and implementaion of the components of MARTA's ITS system. The result was that all of the desired capabilities were not in place during the Games. Consequently, the evaluation period was extended to allow for implementation of the ITS elements and their operation for at least one year. However, since only about a third of MARTA's fleet was equipped with automatic vehicle location, and small numbers of automatic passenger counters, in-vehicle annunciators, in-vehicle sings, wayside passenger information devices, and passenger information kiosks were deployed, the impacts of the ITS technologies was severely limited. Therefore, the evaluation relied heavily on perceptions of users rather than on formal before and after measurements. As a result much of the analysis is qualitative in nature. Lessons learned from ITS MARTA '96 are also presented.
