Abstract:This report documents five studies performed by Mitretek Systems, Inc. to analyze potential
benefits of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployment, in support of the ITS
Architecture Development Program. The studies explore the operation and benefits of four ITS
user services: En-Route Driver Information, Route Guidance, Pre-Trip Travel Information,
and Traffic Control. The studies use traffic simulation models to quantify the benefits of ITS
deployment in typical urban and inter-urban scenarios and to study key sensitivities. The
results illustrate potential benefits and address critical issues affecting the realization of ITS
benefits.
