Interest in the effects on businesses that have implemented Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies has been growing. And, as the federal and state governments have begun to realize, without proof of the advantages inherent in these technologies transportation companies have been reluctant to acquire them. In response to this interest, the Center for Transportation and Land Policy in The Institute of Public Policy at George Mason University designed a project to measure the effects of an ITS technology shortly after it had been developed and implemented by a courier company. The report of the study details the effectiveness of the technology and the software development process. The report includes descriptions of the development process, the software product, and the methodology devised to measure the productivity factor and the results of surveying drivers and dispatchers before and after implementation. |
