• Abstract:
  Developing new intelligent transportation systems to meet unusual challenges in rural areas where ITS implementation is limited is difficult in part because there are few similar examples to use as guides. In such situations, it is critical to conduct a thorough analysis of user needs to provide a strong foundation for the development process. This paper describes the analysis conducted to support the user needs assessment for the Northern Shenandoah Public Mobility Project in Virginia. This project, which seeks to improve the coordination of human services transportation, is unique in low-density, rural regions. The report illustrates the importance of ; the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in supporting the necessary analyses.
