• Abstract:
  In the fall of 1995 the Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) decided to take a closer ; look at how to build an affordable ITS network to support its growing Chesapeake Highway Advisories for Routing Traffic (CHART) program. In doing so, the MSHA departed from the prevalent ITS practice of building a private fiber optic telecommunications infrastructure in favor of first performing a telecommunications analysis to determine if a build option was the most cost effective approach for meeting its telecommunications needs.
