• 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.
