Abstract Analysis Modeling and Simulation (AMS) Testbeds can make significant contributions in identifying the benefits of more effective, more active systems management, resulting from integrating transformative applications enabled by new data from wirelessly connected vehicles, travelers, and infrastructure. To this end, the Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) and Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) Programs have jointly sponsored the planning of multiple AMS Testbeds to support the two programs in evaluating and demonstrating the system-wide impacts of deploying application bundles and strategies in an AMS environment. The purpose of this report is to document a preliminary plan for evaluating impacts of individual ATDM strategies, and logical combinations of strategies, and identifying conflicts and synergies for maximum benefit. Elements that are covered include: • Key research questions and hypotheses that should be tested in the AMS Testbed • Performance measures that underpin the hypotheses • Description of analysis scenarios • Key technology and market penetration assumptions • Sensitivity analyses • Results reporting A companion document provides a preliminary plan for DMA applications. These plans are intended to assist AMS Testbed developers in preparing an overarching evaluation methodology as well as detailed analytical plans tailored to specific sites and analytical approaches.
