§Objectives:
§Identify motivating factors for adopting and expanding use of ITS technology
§Determine if continued implementation produced measurable effects
§Understand what information best supports decision makers needs and how best to deliver it
§Recommend actions the U.S. DOT can take to accelerate ITS technology adoption and deployment, moving toward connected vehicle technology and next generation ITS.
Study of ITS Implementation
The longitudinal study of implementation has five main objectives, as described on the slide.

(Go over the four bullets)

1.  Identify motivating factors for adopting and continuing and expanding ITS implementation

2. Determine if continued implementation produced measurable effects or changes in impacts

Do benefits stay the same, increase, decrease over time?  (this is why it is called a longitudinal study – we will be looking for areas with early ITS deployments that were evaluated many years ago and have good performance-based archived data, so that we can examine whether or not the benefits have changed over time in an appreciable way, and how that in turn may affect the decision to expand the system)

3.  Understand how to convey costs and benefits information to better address decision makers’ reasoning – planning to get feedback through this workshop.

4. Recommend actions the U.S. DOT can take to accelerate ITS technology adoption and deployment, moving toward connected vehicle technology and next generation ITS.
