The Arizona Department of Transportations (ADOT) SPR-570: Rural ITS Progress Study - Arizona 2004 provided 20 key recommendations for improved utilization of the rural ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) infrastructure. Two years later, in reviewing the outcomes of the 2004 study and the ongoing rural technology deployments, the Department identified several of the key concerns as still being unresolved. In general, ADOT has been successful in implementing the recommendations of the 2004 statewide review, but five areas of unmet needs or unfulfilled potential remain. These five gap areas are the primary focus of this new research project, to fully implement the potential of all of the recommendations from the 2004 study. The five primary focus areas are: ITS Maintenance, Weather Information Systems, Highway Advisory Radio, Motorist Assist Patrols, and Information Sharing. The research team interviewed the projects stakeholders from Arizonas rural districts to identify recent changes in their ITS deployment, goals, and visions for future deployment, as well as current needs and desires since the previous 2004 study. The investigators also reviewed the current practices and concepts of rural ITS among other transportation agencies throughout the country. / NOTE: Final report, 615. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Arizona Dept. of Transportation, Phoenix.
