| Abstract | This paper was written to provide basic information in advance of the “National Workshop to Develop an Intelligent Transportation Systems Program Strategy for the National Park Service,” June 19-20, 2001, to be held at the Central Federal Lands Highway Division Office in Lakewood, Colorado. In the spirit of promoting robust workshop discussion, the paper seeks to: 1) Acquaint National Park Service (NPS) staff with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and ITS applications, and 2) Acquaint transportation community participants with NPS transportation-related issues and concerns that might be amenable to ITS solutions. The paper introduces NPS transportation issues and concerns; provides a brief overview of relevant ITS technologies and applications; discusses the state of ITS within national parks; identifies the potential benefits of ITS technologies; and lays the groundwork for discussion regarding ITS strategies for the NPS by posing several questions to be addressed during the workshop. |
