  • Abstract:
    THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO SERVE AS A GUIDE IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. IT IDENTIFIES KEY ITS OPPORTUNITY AREAS BASED ON THE RESULTS OF STATEWIDE MARKET RESEARCH, AND ASSOCIATES THOSE OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE MOST APPROPRIATE ITS SERVICES. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO EVALUATE THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF ITS PROJECTS DEVELOPED FOR THE POLARIS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.



    THE BASIS FOR THIS ANALYSIS IS THE RESULTS OF THE POLARIS STATEWIDE MARKET RESEARCH STUDY, MINNESOTA TRAVELER WANTS AND NEEDS, APRIL 24, 1996. AS ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURE 1, MINNESOTA RESEARCH PROCESS, THIS SEPARATELY PUBLISHED STUDY IDENTIFIES EIGHTEEN FUNDAMENTAL WANTS AND NEEDS OF TRAVELERS WHO USE THE MINNESOTA TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. THIS INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED DURING QUALITATIVE, BRAIN STORMING SESSIONS WITH RANDOMLY SELECTED PARTICIPANTS FROM ACROSS THE STATE. THE RESUTING WANTS AND NEEDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS ARE CONTAINED IN APPENDIX A FOR REFERENCE. THIS SAME MARKET RESEARCH STUDY ALSO CONTAINS QUANTITATIVE DATA FROM A TELEPHONE SURVEY WHICH WAS CONDUCTED TO MEASURE THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF EACH WANT AND NEED AND HOW WELL EACH WANT AND NEED WAS CURRENTLY BEING SATISFIED. A TOTAL OF 901 SURVEY PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO ASSESS IMPORTANCE AND SATISFACTION BASED ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, WITH 10 MEANING THE WANT AND NEED WAS GREATEST IN IMPORTANCE, OR LEVEL OF SATISFACTION WAS AT ITS HIGHEST. THE RESULTING IMPORTANCE AND SATISFACTION VALUES FOR EACH WANT AND NEED ARE CONTAINED IN APPENDIX C AND ARE THE DATA USED IN THE OPPORTUNITY ANALYSES.
