ARTIMIS is one of the earliest ITS systems deployed in the US with preliminary studies being initiated in the late 1980's and early 1990's It provides traffic management on major routes within the greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky regions. ARTIMIS components include changeable message signs, highway advisory radio, service patrol vans, reference markers, vehicle detectors and total station electronic surveying equipment. The major goals of ARTIMIS are to provide quick identification and clearance of incidents, and enhance public safety and the quality of life through the provision of real-time, advanced traveler information. With this in mind, OKI, the Ohio Department of Transportation and other agencies commissioned an evaluation of ARTIMIS in order to: -Measure the public's awareness and use of travel information, and ARTIMIS and its components; -Assess the need for public traveler information; -Identify actions to strengthen support for ARTIMIS. |
