• Abstract:
  STATEMENT OF NEED: The increasing number of ITS systems deployed around the nation is creating a need to determine the benefits of ; these systems; thus, justifying their cost expenditures. The Ohio Department of Transportation, in conjunction with ; the City of Columbus and the Federal Highway Administration, installed and implemented an intelligent Columbus ; Metropolitan Freeway Management System (CMFMS) in greater Columbus, Ohio area. The CMFMS system will ; increase traffic throughput, decrease accidents number, decrease incidents clearing time, decrease traffic flow ; breakdowns, and provide travelers with road information. Although traffic conditions are monitored for dynamic ; feedback, the freeway management system does not have an overall requirement to measure and evaluate the ; effectiveness of the CMFMS.
