• Abstract:
  The following text gives an overview of benefits ; from many types of systems, with an emphasis on systems that have ; realized benefits in real-world operation. Many of the benefits are ; measured either system-wide or for a subset of the system, while others ; represent projected benefits as a result of simulation and analysis. ; It should be noted that many of the projects that currently have definitive ; evaluation results began well before the ITS era and are now ; evolving to incorporate the rapidly emerging ITS technologies. ; Examples of such early, evolutionary deployments include transit ; management systems, freeway management systems, ramp metering ; systems, incident management programs, and traffic signal systems. ; These types of systems are being considered as key elements of the ; core infrastructure for the 75 major metropolitan areas by the United ; States Department of Transportation (DOT) ITS Joint Program Office.
