• Abstract:
  This document presents a summary of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Evaluation Workshop conducted on September 20, 2010 ; in Irvine, California. Sixty-four participants shared ideas and exchanged information on the evaluation of ITS research and deployments in the ; context of emerging technologies, and the need to support sustainability and livability. Participants also discussed ways of assessing ITS ; research initiatives as well as evaluating sustainability and livability goals. Among the ideas expressed in the workshop are the following: ;  The emergence of technologies that enable continuous data collection requires changes in the way entities share and analyze data. ;  Evaluation should be used as an iterative feedback mechanism aimed at improving projects on an ongoing basis. ;  ITS is a valuable tool for reducing greenhouse gases. ;  Maintenance and operations costs are elements that belong in the evaluation analysis. ;  The ITS Knowledge Resources databases are valuable and the benefits databases should include high-level summaries of benefits. ;  Legacy ITS projects and applications such as ramp metering still require evaluation.
