| Abstract | FAST-TRAC is an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that integrates advanced traffic control with a variety of advanced traffic information systems through centralized collection, processing, and dissemination of traffic data. The Road Commission for Oakland County [Michigan](RCOC) manages the program. From the beginning of FAST-TRAC the mission was to implement an "integrated traffic management and traffic information system leading to improved mobility and safety on the roads and freeways of Oakland County." The original tests and plans called for the phased deployment of three specific systems: the ALI-Scout route guidance system (ALI-Scout), the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS), and the Autoscope-2003 (Autoscope) video vehicle detection system. The concept of integration was expanded to include communication with the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) traffic operations center, ERINet users, and the SMART suburban transit system. This Evaluation Summary Report provides an overview of some of the major evaluation studies planned and conducted for the FAST-TRAC program. Evaluations were completed by a consortium of researchers under the management of the University of Michigan. As the plans for deployment of the FAST-TRAC system components evolved over time, the evaluation plans were adjusted accordingly. This report summarizes the major evaluation studies as they were actually conducted. The original evaluation plans are presented in the FAST-TRAC Evaluation Plan. |
