• Abstract:
  The National ITS Program has been involved in the development of several key traffic analysis software systems, with the government playing a variety of roles. Sometimes the government directly sponsors the development and maintenance of the software. Sometimes the government partners with private vendors, which then integrate new algorithms into their existing product lines. Other times, the government is heavily involved at the outset, then transfers responsibility for the software to an Open Source community. The public investment has produced software that meets the needs of transportation professionals, resulting in a wide variety of public benefits, such as better decision-making and more responsive traffic signal operations. Below are profiles of three software systems and the return on investment that the public has experienced.
