Abstract:

This report summarizes the benefits associated with the deployment of intelligent transportation systems, or ITS. ITS apply computers, electronics, and communications systems to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of transportation systems. These systems are a small capital and operational investment that can have significant impact on the utility of the transportation network. Because ITS projects do not exist apart from the transportation system, they are "deployed" as a complement or augmentation.
