Abstract:

This report demonstrates the benefits of deploying and operating an integrated highway/rail system, along with the potential barriers to implementation. In particular, it discusses the lessons learned associated with the Advanced Warning to Avoid Railroad Delays (AWARD) project deployed in San Antonio,Texas, in concert with the Metropolitan Model Deployment Initiative (MMDI). As one of four sites participating in the MMDI effort, San Antonio was committed to pursuing integrated deployments of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Among the goals of deploying these integrated systems was to provide information to motorists about delays associated with train blockages. However, institutional challenges associated with the deployment did not allow the system to function as it was originally designed. This report outlines the lessons learned from this deployment and describes the potential challenges that must be overcome in order for similar systems to be successful
