摘要：	Residents, transportation professionals, and decision-makers throughout the Piedmont Triad generally agree that the prosperity of the region depends on having an adequate transportation system. The ability to move people and goods quickly, efficiently, and safely affects both this regions economy and the quality of life. The purpose of this report is to describe the implementation of Advanced Transportation Systems (ATS) Technologies for the eleven Piedmont Triad Counties. Particular emphasis is being placed on the Interstate 40/ Interstate 85 corridor. Advanced technologies including so-called smart highway or IVHS technologies will be utilized in order to help solve the traffic problems in the Triad.IVHS, which stands for Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems actually is a misnomer because transit systems are also included. Hence, ATS (Advanced Transportation Systems) is the title that has been adopted to describe such transportation improvements in the Triad. ATS (or IVHS) means using advanced technology to improve traffic flow on highways without necessarily adding more lanes or roads. In addition, ATS means using advanced technology to provide safer, more efficient transit service. This report discusses transportation issues in the Piedmont Triad, including travel demand management, a potential ATS corridor (I-40/I-85), current ATS/IVHS projects in the Triad, and possible ATS projects for the future.
