This research was an evaluation of the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT's) intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in rural Arizona, with the objectives of (1) Measuring the performance and documenting the benefits of deployed systems and ADOT's rural ITS program; (2) identifying and documenting operating and maintenance (O&M) costs and issues; (3) Determining travelers' perceptions and reactions to rural ITS ser-vices; and (4) Determining how well ADOT has adhered to the vision of its 1998 ITS Strategic Plan. Eighteen ITS elements were selected for detailed study. The methodology included: literature review (earlier ITS plans, performance measures); surveys of and interviews with institutional users (ADOT, Department of Public Safety, other agencies) and the general public; ITS infrastructure performance data collection and information analysis. |
