Twelve ITS activities were chosen by the Federal Highway Administration to be the subjects of case studies. The case studies were performed under the Intelligent Transportation Systems Institutional and Legal Issues Program, which was developed in response to the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The objective of each case study was to determine (1) institutional issues and legal impediments encountered during the establishment of partnerships and deployment of IVHS services and products during the operational test, (2) the point in the life cycle of the operational test at which the impediments occurred, (3) how project partners and participants overcame impediments, and (4) lessons that were learned that are applicable to future deployments of ITS products and services. This report summarizes the institutional issues and lessons learned from six case studies: the Guidestar Program, which includes the Genesis and Travlink operational tests, and the FAST-TRAC, Houston Smart Commuter, SaFIRES, SmarTraveler, and TravelAid operational tests. This report also makes recommendations for improving the performance of future operational tests and deployments of ITS products and services and presents a comparison of the findings and recommendations of this report and the report which summarizes the first six cases studies, Institutional Issues and Case Studies - Analysis and Lessons Learned. |
