Abstract:This document describes the strategy used to evaluate the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office’s Metropolitan
Model Deployment Initiative (MMDI). The MMDI is an aggressive deployment of ITS at four urban sites: New York/New Jersey/Connecticut, Phoenix, San Antonio, and Seattle. These sites were chosen because of their high level of pre-existing ITS, and the promise of evaluating the integration of these legacy ITS components together with new ITS components. The evaluation strategy itself consists, first, of classifying all MMDI projects as one of nine ITS components or their integration. These nine ITS components are traffic signal control, freeway management, incident management, electronic toll collection, emergency management, transit management, electronic fare payment, railroad grade crossing, and traveler information systems. One section of the document is devoted to defining these components as well as integration, and also show what projects within MMDI fall into each category. The MMDI projects and their integration are then evaluated through six different study areas. These study areas are safety, energy and emissions, operational efficiency, benefit-cost, customer satisfaction, and institutional benefits. A further section of the report is devoted to the presentation of the approach to be used in each study area. The importance of the evaluation of integration is stressed throughout the strategy.
