Abstract:THE OBJECTIVE OF THE OMAHA INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION (ITS) EARLY DEPLOYMENT STUDY IS TO DEVELOP A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF ITS TECHNOLOGIES IN THE OMAHA METROPOLITAN AREA. THE PLAN WILL IDENTIFY THE ITS USER SERVICES THAT WILL BE MOST BENEFICIAL TO THE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE AREA. IT WILL DEFINE THE ITS TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR
PROVIDING THESE SERVICES. THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ITS TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT OF THEIR PERFORMANCE, COMPATIBILITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND COST. THE PLAN WILL ALSO DEFINE ITS PROJECTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION, ASSESS FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS, AND ESTABLISH PROJECT PRIORITIES AND IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULES. INSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL BARRIERS TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF ITS TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE IDENTIFIED, AND MEANS TO RESOLVE THEM WILL BE RECOMMENDED.
THE ITS EARLY DEPLOYMENT PLAN DEVELOPED IN THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE THE FRAME OF REFERENCE AND DIRECTION FOR THE INCORPORATION OF ITS TECHNOLOGIES INTO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN THE OMAHA METROPOLITAN AREA. THE PLANNING EFFORT WILL EXAMINE THE APPLICABILITY OF ITS USER SERVICES IN THE AREAS OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT, TRAVELER INFORMATION, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, COMMERCIAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS, AND INCIDENT MANAGEMENT. THE PLAN WILL IDENTIFY ITS DEPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SHORT, MEDIUM, AND LONG TERMS. THE PLAN WILL PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR A PHASED, COORDINATED, INTEGRATED IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS TECHNOLOGIES WHICH ARE BEST SUITED TO THE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS OF THE AREA. IT WILL ALSO SERVE AS A GUIDE TO BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVOLVEMENT IN ITS AND PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT INPUT TO THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AND INTERMODAL
PLANNING EFFORTS IN THE AREA.
