This document summarizes the work completed for continued Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) demonstration, evaluation and technology transfer in rural northern California and southern Oregon. This work was completed under the fifth phase (Phase 5) of the California and Oregon Advanced Transportation Systems (COATS) project. The purpose of the overall COATS effort has been and continues to be encouraging regional, public and private sector cooperation between California and Oregon organizations to better facilitate the planning and implementation of ITS in a rural bi-state area extending between Eugene, Oregon and Redding, California. As COATS has matured, it, as well as projects which have spun off from the effort, have gained interest from surrounding states, specifically Washington and Nevada. Consequently, the COATS region is now the Western States Rural Transportation Consortium (WSRTC), which includes California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. COATS Phase 5 activities included the Western States Forum and other general technology transfer activities, identification of Bluetooth reader deployment sites for future evaluation, a survey of automated safety warning devices and development of a regional ICM planning process. |
