Abstract:This document summarizes the findings from the evaluation of the integrated freeway, arterial, and incident management system known as the Silicon Valley Smart Corridor (SVSC). Centered along the Highway 17/Interstate 880 corridor in San Jose, California, the SVSC was one of approximately 65 deployments occurring nationally under the direction and partial funding of the FY 1999 National ITS Integration Earmark Program, and one of eight sites selected for targeted, independent national evaluation. The SVSC system was designed to demonstrate measurable safety and mobility benefits in a critical commuter corridor in the Silicon Valley Region. Unfortunately, the implementation was plagued by a series of delays, including continual cuts to the system’s fiber network. In addition, baseline data collection and analysis revealed that even when the system did become operational, it was unlikely to deliver significant benefits within a reasonable period of time. A crumbling regional economy and inadequate project planning both contributed to this situation. This document summarizes the results of the evaluation of the SVSC and presents the status of the deployment as of December 31, 2002.
