| 摘要： | Volume 6: Strategies to Expand and Improve Deployment of ITS in Rural Transit Systems describes Internet and communication technologies that are being deployed at rural transit agencies. The report provides information on statewide intelligent transportation systems (ITS) plans that include provisions for rural ITS initiatives. This report may be used by transit managers and ITS specialists at small transit agencies. The purpose of this research is to examine rural transit agencies that have implemented or are in the process of implementing ITS applications. The hope is that other small and rural agencies may benefit from this research. The research tasks were to Review past studies on the subject matter, Examine current implementers of ITS technology, Review the technology and its benefits, and Analyze solutions to low implementation rates. For the purpose of this report, rural areas are defined as settled territories or areas with a population of less than 50,000 and without a central city. The research also includes organizational information as presented by transit agencies or vendors. Historical project evolution is described so that other agencies in similar situations or looking to implement similar technology will understand what may be involved. System integration with existing or planned regional or statewide systems is discussed. In addition, a review of other available or emerging technologies is provided. Finally, potential strategies for ITS integration of rural transit agencies into statewide ITS architectures is discussed. ITS encompasses many technologies. At its broadest, it includes any technology that provides transit information or management benefits. According to Chris Winters at the Community Transportation Association of America, the central goal of ITS is to provide systems with the information and operational ability necessary to move people more quickly and more cheaply. For this research, ITS includes all electronic, communications, and/or computer systems that increase operational and service efficiency as well as potentially decrease costs. |
