Abstract:Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have generated considerable enthusiasm in the
transportation community as a potential strategy for reducing highway congestion, improving
highway safety, enhancing the mobility of people and goods, promoting economic productivity,
and reducing the environmental impacts associated with motor vehicle travel. However, as state
and local governments across the country proceed with the deployment of ITS services and
technologies, some policy makers are concerned that the detrimental emission effects of
increasing the number of vehicle trips and miles traveled may partially offset the potential
emission benefits of improved traffic operations and system efficiencies. The objective of this
study is to describe the types of modeling approaches needed to capture the short- and long-term
transportation and emission/fuel consumption impacts of ITS deployment.
