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.
