Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) techniques are improving mobility for travelers throughout the nation and world. To date, ITS has largely been the focus of professionals who are applying innovative methods to complicated traffic and travel information needs in their communities. Consumers utilize these breaking technologies, often with little notice or understanding of the systems underlying their more convenient travel. Despite ITS advances, recent journal articles and conferences stress the difficulty of gaining broad support from elected officials and the general public for ITS. Developing processes and building a support base of elected officials and community planners are important to continue ITS deployment and implementation. This document provides a summary of an ITS conference focused on the roles of consumers, ITS and Transportation professionals and community decision makers. This document also includes some of the projects that reflect the range of possibilities utilizing ITS. |
